Aji No Tonkatsu Maruichi - Kagoshima

Can’t add to what others have said. Super delicious food and really friendly service. Mr Take who speaks good English advised on what to have, and then without being asked gave us two different cuts of meat so that we could compare. There’s nothing written in English outside, but don’t hesitate!

A true gem. The head chef is super nice to foreigners, speaks English and came over to teach me how to properly eat tonkatsu. The serving sizes are very generous, definitely worth the price. With a Hill set a beer I almost rolled out of there! You should order the hill set if you want a single big slab of pork with a lot of fatty layering If you want something a little more lean go for the upper cut loin set. Both were awesome and I’d come here again in a heartbeat. I truly felt welcome. Great customer service!

Looked high and low in Kagoshima the Kurobuta Pork paradise for a top quality Tonkatsu restaurant using quality black pork. This is the place the owner has been plotting his trade of Tonkatsu for over 30 years. The pork itself is sourced locally and from the same farm. Every tonkatsu is freshly made as you order. None of the fancy tonkatsu dishes you get but all you need is the original dish as it was made from the beginning. Top quality hole in the wall is what makes this place a gem and a must visit when here in Kagoshima. Seriously friendly proprietor who is the Chef himself. The staff too are very friendly too. Family friendly too. A must visit for lunch or dinner.

Came here at 11:40 and there was a line of about 10 people. We arrived at 12. order of the pork fillet katsu 1400 yen including suppe, rice and pickles. first the owner looks like an angry owner, but in that he was very friendly and spoke English. the katsu was very juicy and of great quality, the brot was thick and crispy that I liked very much. highly recommended. Now I have to make a run to burn it.

A true jewel. the chef is super nice to leave, speaks English and came by to teach me how to eat properly tonkatsu. the servier sizes are very generous, definitiw the price worth. with a hill set a beer that I almost rolled out! they should order the mountain set if they want a single large plate of pork with a lot of fat layering if they want a little more lean, they go for the upper cut-loin set. both were great and I came back in a heartbeat. I really felt welcome. great customer service!
