Takahama, Aichi, Japan｜Tonraku

I've been curious about this place for a long time, and this is my first visit. The food was absolutely delicious. There was a wide variety of garnishes, and the grated ingredients were carefully selected. The hard chairs mentioned by others were also padded with cushions, so I was comfortable. Although it was a busy time, the staff was very responsive and the food was served quickly. However, the tonkatsu itself has a strong and delicious taste, so I wanted to try it with salt. I would be even happier if you could put salt on the table!

I chose the miso fillet set meal. It was tender, meaty, perfectly cooked and delicious. There are plenty of side dishes, and for only 900 yen, you'll be very satisfied. In order to achieve this cost-effectiveness, various measures have been taken, such as using meal tickets and self-service drinking water. You can eat at the counter while looking out onto the parking lot.

I went in with low expectations because the exterior and food tickets made it look like a chain restaurant with no special features, but I was completely disappointed. The rice is a little soft, but sweet and delicious. The miso soup also has a homemade feel and is delicious with somen noodles inside. The miso sauce is just the right thickness to bring out the gentle flavor of the grilled tonkatsu. The meat was perfectly cooked and had a slightly pink color.
