Tonkatsu Yugoro

Tonkatsu Yugoro is a culinary gem nestled in the heart of Isesaki, Gunma. Renowned for its exquisite tonkatsu, this restaurant offers a delightful selection of pork cutlets, including both loin and tenderloin options. The dishes are expertly fried using cottonseed oil, which is rich in vitamin E, ensuring a light and flavorful experience. The restaurant's owner, who embarked on his culinary journey at the age of 17, spent 18 years honing his craft before opening Tonkatsu Yugoro in May 2024. His dedication to the art of tonkatsu is evident in every dish, with a cooking technique that preserves the meat's fibers and locks in the juices, resulting in a tender and succulent bite. Located just 2.4 km from JR Komagata Station, behind the McDonald's in Miyako, Tonkatsu Yugoro is easily accessible for both locals and visitors. The restaurant boasts a stylish, traditional Japanese exterior, while the interior is clean, calm, and open, enhanced by the soothing sounds of piano music. The dining experience is further elevated by the personal touches of the owner, who polishes the wooden tables and crafts unique chopstick rests. The custom-made sauce containers, sourced from a Mashiko pottery artisan, add a touch of elegance to the table setting. With four counter seats, two tables for four, and eight tables for two, Tonkatsu Yugoro offers a cozy and intimate dining atmosphere. Guests can enjoy unlimited rice and cabbage refills, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely meal with friends or family.
