After agonizing over the menu for about 10 minutes, a friendly lady recommended the Black Pork Loin Cutlet set meal for 1000 yen, and it was a fantastic choice! There was no excess fat, the meat was juicy, the breading was crispy, and the sauce was a perfect match; to be honest, it was better than a specialty pork cutlet shop. Am I praising it too much? (laughs) Even though I don't usually like bonito tataki, the side dish was so fresh and delicious that I couldn't stop eating. I'm truly grateful to have stumbled upon this restaurant while sightseeing. And for some reason, even though I was in Kagoshima, the lady bid me farewell with a "ookini!" (thank you in Kagoshima dialect) and a smile.
