It’s from the rib end… this part has sinew, but the middle part is clean and tender. We apologize if it’s sold out. While always being conscious not to let the quality of the taste drop, I hope we can make as many customers happy as possible. Specialty tonkatsu with excellent service: This was “Honke Tonton-tei.”

  1. 1名にはカツサンド?
    常連さんにはハムサラダとカツサンド両方サービスとは???
    常連になる基準が分かりません
    もう10回ほど通ってますが どんな基準をクリアーすれば常連となるのか
    ご存知の方は教えてください😢
    ちなみに かまど炊きご飯は炊きたて熱々🍚最高に美味い😋味噌汁もちゃんと出汁が効いてます(若干味が濃いめ)
    トンカツはやや火が通り過ぎの事が多い気がします。

  2. ご飯、炊きたてが美味しいでしょうね😁大事ですよ。それと、ご飯とキャベツの、おかわり嬉しいです😁お米が高いから感謝ですね。いいトンカツ屋ですね。食べたいです。

  3. ここね、常連になるとサラダとかサービスしてくれるんよ⁉️…あっ普通なのね⁉️顔まで覚えてくれています🎵でも店長変わったのかな⁉️変わってますね🤔めちゃくちゃ忙しいですね😊

  4. 10年くらい前までしょっちゅう行ってたな。待たされるとサービスでハムサラダ&カツサンド出してくれた。それだけで腹いっぱいになるレベルのサービスだったな。今はアラフォーになって胃が弱くなったから行ってなかったけどヒレカツなら食べれそうだし久しぶりに行ってみよう。

  5. 以前の名物店長最高でした笑笑
    極上ロース特大を頼みますが、ハムサラダ、カツサンドとたまーに揚げ出し豆腐などサービスしてくれるので最初に注文する時メチャクチャ悩んだ思い出があります😅

  6. もう随分前に行った時は少し恐い感じの威勢の良い??感じの店長さんだった様な…
    入店後直ぐに『予約?無し?どっち?』みたいに聞かれ戸惑いました😅
    土日の夜は予約しないと座れないらしくて💦💦
    別の日に予約して再チャレンジ😃✌️
    サービス付きにビックリ😵
    近々行こうかなぁ~😋

  7. しばらく行ってないうちに店長さん変わったんですね。サービスは店長さん変わっても続いているのかな?カツは勿論ですが、エビフライの満足度はここが一番だと思う。
