At the entrance, a cute pig character welcomes you, and the interior feels clean and well-organized. I ordered the Rosu Katsu Set. The batter looked thick and crispy, reminiscent of chicken katsu, while the inside was filled with tender pork loin, making it visually satisfying. Taking a bite, the flavor was more refined and light rather than greasy. The batter was rough but the meat was dense and chewy, making it ideal for those who prefer straightforward and honest flavors. Overall, it left a strong impression of having enjoyed a clean and comforting tonkatsu meal rather than something overly moist or rich. --- 📌 Final Thoughts ✔ Menu: Simple and straightforward set options ✔ Ambiance: Modest and clean Japanese-style eatery ✔ Flavor: Rustic yet light and honest tonkatsu taste ✔ Location: In Matsudo city, perfect for experiencing local vibes
