This place would be my Go-to Tonkatsu Shop, Upon arrival, we are greeted really politely by the staff, KAHO was very helpful and she assisted with explaining the dishes and the difference between the cuts. Her english was very good, and we could understand very well. We were not treated any differently from the locals or the other guests so I am not sure what the bad reviews are about. We had the Tuna Cutlet Katsu and the “Nasukougen-Pork Fillet Cutlet” this is the Japanese Pork as opposed to the Canadian Pork that they also sell. We also added on two pieces of the Deep Fried Prawn Tempura. Which I highly recommend you do IF you do not get the set with the prawn in it. The Prawn was huge and the batter was thinly coated with was good. The fried dishes, were not too oily, and superbly prepared. The pork was not chewy, very tender and juicy. One of the best i have tasted in Japan. The tuna though, wow, it was amazing. I’ll come back just to have the Tuna Cutlet Katsu, that was probably the highlight although it was my partner’s item. Highly recommended. The miso soup had a special item inside that no other shops include, and i’ll have to leave the mystery for you to find out yourself. Try this. You will not regret it. ps. I have added the receipt and translated text for your reference

A wonderful tonkatsu restaurant that opens relatively late (10 pm) compared to other restaurants in the area, the quality of ingredients, ambience, and ship in preparation are well worth the visit. The Kirishima Black Pork is flavourful and nearly melts in your mouth, with a perfectly light and crispy panko crust. Both cabbage salad dressings, one unusually based on blood oranges (whose flavor can be overwhelming when eating the fruit directly, but in the dressing pleasantly light, citrusy, and mildly sweet) and the more traditional vinegar and garlic (this one beautifully rich compared to other vinegar baseddressings in Japan) will vy to be your favorite. The clam miso soup is a nice compliment to the katsu, and the tsukemono picked vegetables are tangy to cleanse the palete. And the potato salad with mentaiko was a great started. Definitely a must try restaurant in Kamakura.

Walked in for lunch at 12 noon on a weekday - had to wait for about 5 mins as the restaurant appeared understaffed (even though there were empty seats!). Food was amazing and tuna katsu was soft and tender. Batter is light and flaky, not oily at all. Pork loin was juicy thought slightly tough (and appeared slightly raw at some parts). Wanted to try their miso potato croquette and fried shrimp tempura but sadly they got our order wrong. Expect a long wait for the food (about 30 mins). A decent experience overall if you’re not rushed for time and tuna katsu is definitely recommended if the menu is still available.

Really good!!!!! We loved the whole experience and also the recommendations of how to eat it like they planned it for you, meaning they give you simple instructions like what sauce to use for what. The only wierd thing was that we were in line for like 20 minutes then a couple arrived, after 5 minutes we were seated and soon they were seated. The thing is that the waiter went first to them we waited for him to come to us and he took so long so the couple that arrived later than us, ate like 20 minutes before us. Its ok and we dont mind it just felt unusual and weird

I had the best tonkatsu here Service was great and staff very nice. I ordered the same thing as the man seating next to me. This restaurant is full of Japanese customers which is also a good indicator that it is a good place to eat. Even though I do not speak Japanese they took time to explain me in English how to eat. Ambiance is great, got the chance to eat on the counter watching the chef making tonkatsu. I will come back on my next trip.

Excellent service and nice ambiance, and the Tonkatsu... My goodness, it was so crispy and succulent I was speechless. And I even had the cheapest cut because I was on a budget, I can't imagine what their signature pork cutlet must taste like. I would give them 10 stars if I could, and I am grateful they took their time to explain in English the proper way to eat all the additional dishes that came with the Tonkatsu. Amazing!
