Hand downs, this is by far the best Tonkatsu place I've ever had!
The best means the quality of food and price combination.
The quality of their food is top notch.
Pretty fresh and clean authentic Japanese Tonkatsu restaurant.
Service is fantastic and very friendly.
It's like a show to see the chef to cook.
We can't speak Japanese (We are from Taiwan and US), but we still enjoy the food and service every bit.
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants authentic, and quality food.
Can't wait to go back when I visit Osaka again.

It's worth going all the way.
Introducing Tonkatsu “Fujii”🫶

We have a lineup of today's recommended brand pork and standard brand pork (Hayashi SPF, Tokyo X, etc.) 👍

The fillet is a beautiful moist and glossy pink cross section 💓
Rare and extremely juicy🤤

Ishigaki Island's highly rare branded pork
“Nannubuta” is rib roast 🙆‍♀️

You can change the taste with tonkatsu sauce, mustard, and salt.
I want you to eat it without adding anything 🥺

Especially Helle! ! !
You can directly feel the sweetness and flavor of the pork 🥰

Also, the thing I definitely want you to order is the minced meat cutlet👀
In one word, “drinkable minced meat cutlet”🤤🤤

How to handle the side menu
I wish they would serve a minced cutlet set meal 🙈
(It seems like weekday lunch sets come with minced meat cutlets by default😎)

Reservations can be made with Table Check 👍

Lunch is served in 60-minute increments of 30 minutes from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

If you're late, you won't be able to go unless you eat in a hurry.
I recommend arriving on time 🫠

Visited alone on a Saturday in mid-November at 11:30. It is a LINE reservation system, and when I inquired on the morning of the day, luckily there was space available and I made a reservation.

I arrived at the reservation time and was immediately guided to the restaurant, where I ordered Iwanaka pork fillet cutlet for 2,750 yen, homemade juicy minced meat cutlet for 400 yen, and chicken fillet cutlet for 400 yen.

In about 10 minutes, the rice, akadashi, cabbage, and then the cutlet come out one by one. By the way, you can only get one refill of rice and cabbage.

The first item is fillet cutlet. You can proceed to eat the first bite as is. Even though it's well-cooked, it's so tender that you hardly need to chew, and the sweetness of the meat spreads in your mouth. The batter is fragrant and you can eat it as is, but I personally think that rock salt would also go well with it. This was the most delicious.

The second item is minced meat cutlet. The juicy meat fills your mouth the moment you take a bite. Of course it was delicious, but personally I would have liked a little more flavor.

Lastly, the fillet of Iwanaka pork. It's soft enough compared to a normal tonkatsu restaurant, but the texture is harder than the previous two dishes. However, since it was fried rare, the natural sweetness of the red meat came out when I bit into it, and it went perfectly with the rock salt.

Herbal tea is served after the meal.

They use branded pork and I think the price is reasonable, but it is difficult for ordinary people to use it on a daily basis.
