Three times softer than you'd imagine! "Thick and voluminous" delicious pork cutlet (Yame City)

Hello. I am Yorimichi, the owner of the blog "Yorimichi's Fukuoka Introduction," which introduces delicious restaurants in Fukuoka.

How often do you eat tonkatsu?

This is one of the dishes that is widely loved, from prepared foods in supermarkets to high-end restaurants, and it is a "pork cutlet made by a former butcher with great care."

Hearing that makes you want to try it, right? Let me introduce it to you right away.

Enjoy the carefully prepared meat dishes from a long-established butcher shop in a 150-year-old traditional house! "Tonkatsu Meat Cuisine Yoshioka" (Yame City)

"Yoshioka Tonkatsu Meat Cuisine" opened in Honmachi, Yame City in May 2022.

The owner fell in love with the atmosphere of this 150-year-old traditional house and was determined to open a shop there, so after more than a year of negotiations, he finally made the decision to open the shop.

There are five parking spaces next to the store, and if there are no spaces available you can call the store and they will direct you to a nearby public parking lot.

The interior of the restaurant has a warm atmosphere, which reflects the owner's desire to preserve the charm of the old house as much as possible.

In addition to table seats,

There are also semi-private tables, so it seems like a good place for a date. You can have a quiet meal away from the hustle and bustle.

By the way, old houses generally have low ceilings, so be careful not to hit your head.

In this atmosphere, you can enjoy meat dishes made with the care and attention of a long-established butcher shop.

Exceptional deliciousness! All meals come with "Kyushu specially selected Kuroge Wagyu roast beef"

Now let's take a look at the menu.

Honestly, it's different from any roast beef I've ever had before...

It tastes like moist prosciutto.

Irresistibly meaty! Hamburg steak

Here is the "100% Akagyu Hamburger Steak Set (150g)".

The moment it was placed on the table, the bursting aroma of demi-glace hit my nose.

Rather than overflowing with juicy meat juice, I would say...

I wondered if he was biting into a steak.

This is the type of hamburger that has a meaty texture and makes its presence known once you put it in your mouth.

These days, you can eat your fill of Akagyu beef for under 2,000 yen - it really takes a lot of effort from companies to make that happen.

A thick pork loin cutlet that melts in your mouth

Next, let's try the restaurant's most popular dish, the "Soybean flour pork loin cutlet set meal."

There are three price tiers: 1,780 yen for 100g, 2,180 yen for 160g, and 2,650 yen for 270g, but if you come here, we highly recommend trying the 270g (the photo shows the 270g version).

Ah, but it's quite filling, so if you don't usually eat that much, 160g might be fine.

First, let's just leave it as it is, without adding anything.

Ah, this fat has a sweet taste.

The fat melts elegantly in your mouth and no matter how much you eat it never feels heavy.

If you want something lighter, add a little salt and take another bite.

This is unbearable.

When I bit into the crispy batter, the meat inside melted so well that I didn't even need to chew it.

The mustard greens are a great pickle to go with this dish. You'll be able to eat this rice endlessly.

Sorry, I got too excited and didn't introduce it calmly.

I wanted you to take a look at this thick pork cutlet, but I got carried away and acted out of control, so sorry.

No, steak.

If you look at the thickness of this meat, you can see that it would be difficult to bite through regular pork, right?

Three times softer than you'd think.

I really want you to experience this texture.

The pork cutlets I've had before have been delicious, but this is in a league of its own.

Of course the sauce is delicious, but personally I prefer salt. It's simply delicious.

How about having it with rice and mustard on top?

Ahhh! This is it. This is the right answer.

It looks like tonkatsu sushi (confusion).

For me, it's not within the price range to come here frequently, but it's a place I'd like to go back to after a hard day's work or as a once a month treat.
