About this spot
Katsukura serves massive, crispy Katsu cutlets that are so thick they practically require a second bite just to finish the meat. The accompanying tonkatsu sauce is tangy and sweet enough to stand on its own, making it perfect for dipping into the soft rice balls served alongside.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'Nigiri' style katsu to get a taste of the breaded pork without committing to a full cutlet.
- Ask for extra pickled radish (takuan) to cut through the richness of the fried pork.
- Sit at the counter if you want to watch chefs prepare your order fresh in front of you.
