A cluttered and tiny old Tokyo tonkatsu restaurant

There are no shortage of tiny old restaurants in Tokyo, and yet despite such competition, this place still stands out. In business for half a century, with the current owner having taken over from his father, its clutter and grime speak of each and every year it has been open. A true step back in time along with the added inclusion of a bit of baseball memorabilia. The latter I know nothing about, but what I do know is that the food is absolutely top notch, and the atmosphere always relaxed. Like a home from home in many ways, albeit one with a decidedly carefree attitude to cleanliness.

    Really nice documentation of this restaurant Lee. I’m not surprised at all the food was so good.
