What to know
Tonkatsu Nanaido distinguishes itself with lightly breaded katsu, a technique that results in a uniquely crisp and delicate crust. This approach allows the quality of the pork to truly shine, which has made the restaurant popular among locals seeking a less heavy version of the classic dish. Located in Jingūmae, the intimate counter seating encourages interaction with the chefs, while the lively atmosphere makes it a great spot for a casual meal. Note that Nanaido closes in the afternoon, so it's best to visit during lunch hours.
