AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
“This tonkatsu is a massive piece of pork, three fingers thick, with two tiny slices of white bread on the side. The meat is incredibly juicy, and the breading has a decent crunch. I have no idea how they managed to fry it so perfectly in oil. It's served with a sauce on top. The bread is just a way to hold it comfortably in your hand. For a piece of meat this thick, it's a lot of stuff. It costs about €12, and they only accept cash.”

A tiny, no-frills spot in Kyoto serving only two incredible katsu sando options — filet and sirloin — with perfect breading and a massive pork cutlet.
Dishes mentioned
Katsu Sando
This place only does two dishes — filet and sirloin katsu sando — and you don't need anything else. The bread-to-crumb ratio is perfect. I asked for a knife to cut it, like in Italy, and they brought me an incredible Japanese knife — the kind where if I'm not careful I'd cut through the plate and table too. The cutlet was huge, like 95% pork and 5% bread. Seriously, very good. You'll leave smelling like fried food but totally satisfied. Highly recommended.
