Saucing the teppan tonkatsu up close.

Popular katsu chain combining crispy katsu with their signature red miso sauce. Originally from Nagoya, but they have locations everywhere too.

Oroshi Soba and Sauce Katsudon

Cloudy and overcast day when I stopped by in Fukui on the way towards Toyama, and this local speciality definitely hit the spot.

Okowa, Katsu and Gyoza @ Yonehachi

Even outside of Japan, I still flock to Japanese food, like this one at the basement of Takashimaya.

Dinner @ Gyukatsu Motomura

I’ve seen this chain at many places throughout Japan. They do delicious beef katsu, very much raw with a sear. There’s a hotplate to grill them to perfection and sauces to dip them in to enjoy with the salads and rice. Easy recommendation from me.

Seoul Tonkatsu

Tasty, though probably not worth staying behind 2 hours because all the immediately departing KTX trains are full. Pro tip: buy train tickets ahead of time.

Katsu-sando @ Wagyumafia
