Katsuretsu Tei Shinshigai Honten

Katsuretsutei Shinshigai Honten, established in 1975 in Kumamoto, is a long-standing Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten, having been selected multiple times (2017-2026). It is renowned for its 'Cho Tokusen Roppaku Kurobuta Tonkatsu' (super premium Six-White Kurobuta pork cutlet). Diners praise the incredibly crispy and light batter, coupled with juicy, tender meat. The shop offers a variety of sauces, salt, and even special children's meals, making it suitable for families. It's a popular spot for both locals and international tourists, often bustling but with efficient service due to its large 115-seat capacity. Reservations are not accepted, but takeout is available.
