On Sep. 16, 2018, after we visited Kumamon and Kumamoto Castle in the afternoon, we drove to Katsuretsutei (勝烈亭) for its tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlets) as dinner. Considering the parking lot and seats, our destination was Katsuretsutei's Minamikumamoto Branch. But we were jammed in traffic in Downtown Kumamoto due to Kumamoto's festival.
Finally we arrived at Katsuretsutei's Minamikumamoto Branch. We all decided to order the premium pork from the Berkshire Pig in Kagoshima. The thick premium pork cutlet set meal cost us 2,500 JPY (= 22.86 USD) per person, not including tax. Three of us ordered "thick ropyaku-kurobuta pork loin cutlet." The other two and me ordered "thick ropyaku-kurobuta pork fillet cutlet."
The side dish was first served. It was very appetizing!
The sesame here could be refilled for free. Grinding the sesame and adding it into the sauce made the combination of sauce and deep-fried pork cutlets more delicious!
There were 2 kinds of tonkatsu sauces at Katsuretsutei (勝烈亭). The one was Japanese; the other was western. I liked both of them!
The mustard onside also did the taste of pork cutlets better!
My deep-fried pork fillet cutlets looked golden and mouth-watering!
The texture of thick cut was really firm! The coating outside tasted crispy, and the pork fillet inside also tasted yummy and juicy!
The deep-fried pork loin cutlet with more fat exchanged from my friend was also superb!
The high-quality deep-fried pork cutlets and the hot and al dente Japanese rice were the impeccable combination!
We all couldn't help but enjoy more bowls of rice!
The richer red miso soup was also appetizing for me! It was hard to resist refilling more red miso soup!
The fresh shredded cabbage with salad sauce was also great between the deep-fried pork cutlets!
Except the tasty deep-fried pork cutlets, the above rice, miso soup, side dish and shredded cabbage could be refilled for free! The side dishes also significantly increased the set meal's level of deliciousness!
The pricse of tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlets) at Katsuretsutei (勝烈亭) were higher, but the responding high quality was absolutely worth a try when visiting Kumamoto, Japan!
