Tontotei

Tontotei is a well-regarded restaurant in Nara known for its tonkatsu made from the rare Echigo Mochi pork from Niigata Prefecture. The warm wooden interior exudes a sense of tranquility, free from the smell of oil, and the friendly hospitality creates a relaxing atmosphere for both individuals and groups. The tonkatsu features a crispy coating with a moist and tender interior, accompanied by finely shredded cabbage with onions, small side dishes, and fragrant miso soup. Conveniently located near Horyu-ji Temple, it's a great stop during sightseeing.
