New Babe — Restaurant in Osaka

If you’re a tonkatsu lover visiting Osaka, New Babe Tonkatsu is a must-try hidden gem. Tucked away on a quiet street, this new spot brings serious flavor, top-quality ingredients, and an atmosphere that feels both modern and warm.

The food: The tonkatsu was perfectly fried—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. They offer different pork cuts (like rosu and hire), and you can tell the meat is high-grade. The panko breading was light and not greasy at all. The set meal came with shredded cabbage (free refills!), miso soup, rice, and house-made pickles. Don’t skip their tonkatsu sauce—slightly sweet, tangy, and packed with umami.
