About this spot
Katsuo serves up bold, savory katsu that stands out against the typical soft breaded cuts found elsewhere in Umeda. The house-made tonkatsu is fried to a perfect golden crisp while remaining juicy inside, served with a rich, slightly sweet brown sauce that locals swear by.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Katsu no Yoko' (side cut) if you want more meat for a lower price per gram.
- Ask for extra pickles on the side to cut through the richness of the fried pork.
- The restaurant often gets crowded, so arrive before 6 PM to avoid long waits.
