The hele katsu is healthy, but the loin is a bit greasy! Next time I want Chateaubriand!
Filet of pork cutlet is healthy
Loin is a little fatty!
Next time I want Chateaubriand!
Its unparalled and great dining experience. The chef is friendly and served me with special otoshi. I had the loin tonkatsu and had varying level of appreciation of its unique take of Tonkatsu. It is quite tender, good on a palate and just taste good food. I also got the grilled brown rice onigiri with umeboshi on it. I paired it with Nihonshu and it just complement of what I eat. Also, I got a special treat お酒 being the sole guests at that time. Overall, a nice to cap here on my last night in Osaka and made it memorable at Takuya.

I ate a gourmet meal: ....
Until now, when I think of beef cutlets, I've been used to eating small, thin, and thin cutlets like Kyoto Beef Cutlet.
I've been eating small, thin beef cutlets like Kyoto Beef Cutlet.
This time I was surprised...
Too thick and raw color de type. LOL!
And when I grabbed it, it was soft and squishy.
I was drooling before I even ate it 😎.
I was surprised to see how thickly sliced it was when I ate it!
And not only that, it's a beef cutlet!
You can bite through it with your front teeth.
The sweetness of the meat is spreading through your teeth and stimulating your taste buds.
At first, the flavor of the meat explodes 💥.
It goes well with rock salt and soy sauce.
It also goes well with soy sauce, and even with tonkatsu sauce, which is not included in the set.
Well, I guess that's true.
But every time I think about expensive meat
but I always think that expensive meat is better without any sauce.
I've tried everything, but in the end the meat tastes the best👍.
The angel prawns are so plump, you can eat them as they are.
It's too plump, so it's better to eat it as it is too!
The shrimp is so plump and juicy inside that if you put tartar on it, the tartar taste will be too strong.
The tartar taste is too strong.
the sweetness of the prawns is lost.
Anyway, I like prawns with good flesh 😊.
The potato salad is good and the rice is good too!
The red soup stock is also good!
The scallion was delicious too!

The reason is that they are very particular about their ingredients and cooking methods.

They use only pork that has been checked and approved by professionals every day.
The carefully selected pork is then
The meat is then ground and pounded to break up the meat fibers one by one.
It's like breaking the meat into pieces.
It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
A single missed cut of a muscle can ruin the shape of the meat when it is fried.
and the texture of the meat when you eat it.
It seems to change the shape of the meat when fried and the texture when served.
so they do it without fail 😊.
Also, the breadcrumbs are fresh breadcrumbs made daily from bread baked according to the specified recipe.
