Holiday memory — Tonkatsu that transported me back

I first ate Tonkatsu on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the clean and umami-forward quality I remembered. mirin was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. It was the a conveyor belt sushi bar memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. cold Sapporo beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
