I love restaurants with a good atmosphere and delicious food. I aim to try all the set meals at this place. On this day, I had the Chicken Cutlet Set for 1,500 yen. The chicken had a crispy skin and crunchy coating, made with thigh meat which had a nice contrast in texture. The rice was cooked perfectly and the miso soup had plenty of clams with a delicate flavor. The coleslaw salad was refreshing with a tangy dressing and crunchy cabbage. I also received a special talisman from the waitress, which was a nice touch. The restaurant will be open on September 23rd, but closed on the 24th and 25th for a long weekend. They will also have a pop-up shop at Mitsukoshi department store starting on November 22nd. The staff were friendly and engaging, making the dining experience enjoyable. Overall, it's a welcoming place for both solo diners and groups.

This was my first visit to the restaurant since it moved from Mitsukoshi to Suitengu Shrine. I had a delicious pork cutlet set meal after a long time. The meat was as tasty as ever. It was even more delicious when eaten with seaweed salt and crushed black pepper. By the way, I've always liked the cucumber pickles.

Lately, I've been having some unsatisfactory experiences with meat dishes, so I decided to try this restaurant based on the recommendation of "マイレビゆっきょし様". I visited on Sunday around 12:30 and was seated at a table right away. I couldn't see the rest of the restaurant, but there were a few other customers present. I ordered the "Katsu Don Set for ¥2000" with fillet. While enjoying the pickled cabbage appetizer, the piping hot Katsu Don was served. The egg on the Katsu Don had a nice, slightly runny texture that was easy to eat (I'm not a fan of eggs that are too runny). The fillet Tonkatsu I ordered was cooked perfectly, very tender, and had a delicious meaty flavor. The combination of the Tonkatsu with the egg and onions was fantastic! The sauce was not too sweet, allowing me to enjoy it until the last bite. The rice soaked up the sauce nicely, which I personally liked. The miso soup and pickled cabbage were also a nice touch.

I ordered the famous TonTeki set meal. It's not the kind of place where you can casually drop in for lunch as it's priced at 3000 yen. I was seated at the counter and waited a few minutes while hearing about the commitment to the pork used in the dish. The pork is from Ume-sato in Ibaraki, and the best part of the pork shoulder is carefully selected for the TonTeki. The TonTeki was cooked perfectly, thick yet tender, with delicious fatty parts. The original garlic soy sauce paired well with the sweetness of the fatty parts, creating a fantastic flavor. The rice and miso soup with clams were also delicious, and I couldn't resist getting a second helping of rice. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Ordered items■Katsudon set meal (fillet) 2,000 yenWhile enjoying the "pickled cabbage", the dish arrived in about 10 minutes~♬The "Katsudon" and "miso soup" were both piping hot (the half-cooked egg had a good texture with some rare parts remaining). The tonkatsu here is fried to a pink center, a distinctive feature, and when combined with the rice and egg, please refer to the cross-section photo for reference<(_ _)>The sauce for the egg over rice was on the sweeter side, which I personally like. There has been a rapid increase in the number of shops offering sweet "Katsudon" like the one at Suitengu-mae, but if you prefer a less sweet version, this place comes highly recommended(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡Thank you for the meal.

Udagawa, which was located in Nihonbashi, was revived in Kaki-ga-cho almost a year ago. Until recently, it was known as a delicious takeout-only katsu sandwich shop (although other items were also delicious). Then, before I knew it, they had opened a small eat-in shop next to it. According to Tabelog, it opened at the end of June. So, I decided to visit this time, thinking that the customer service at the restaurant would have improved by now. The restaurant opens at 11 am, so I opened the sliding door right after that. The interior of the restaurant has a counter with 6 seats and a table for 4 people on the right side of the entrance. In total, it can accommodate 10 people. The menu mainly features tonkatsu, including tonkatsu set meals, ton teki, chicken sauté, and fried shrimp set meals. These items can also be ordered as individual dishes, and they also offer vegetables and garlic rice. For those who want to eat slowly, they have course meals starting from 8000 yen. This time, since it was my first visit, I decided to try the tonkatsu. There are options for loin katsu set meal and tonkatsu set meal, and I chose the 220-gram loin katsu set meal. After a short wait, the loin katsu was served in front of me. It looks a bit larger than regular tonkatsu because it weighs 220 grams. The pink color and the good cooking of the meat can be seen from the cut surface. Now, what should I dip it in? On the counter, there are special sauce, Worcestershire sauce, seaweed salt, salted raw black pepper (which they bring in a small dish), and mustard to choose from. I first tried it with seaweed salt. The sweetness of the meat spreads in my mouth. Next, I poured the special sauce over it. The fruity taste of the sauce is quite nice. I put a lot of mustard on the katsu covered in sauce. The sweetness of the loin katsu, the acidity and sweetness of the sauce, and the flavor of the mustard... these flavors spread in my mouth. This is the taste of loin katsu... delicious. I forgot to take pictures of anything other than the loin katsu this time, but of course, it comes with rice and clam soup. Katsu and rice go well together. I finished the delicious loin katsu with rice in no time. It's nice to eat in. Takeout is good too, but I prefer to eat set meals in the restaurant. This time, I had the loin katsu set meal, so next time, I'll try the katsu-don. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant "Udagawa" in Nihonbashi with a rating of 3.05 on Tabelog. The location is in front of Suitengu-mae Station, situated along a main street with other dining establishments. The interior is cozy with table seating and a row of counter seats. This is a long-standing butcher shop established in 1967, which has now opened a dining establishment next to their original location. I received a Katsu sandwich as a souvenir, which was delicious. The table is equipped with homemade sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, Western mustard, and pickled radish. I usually go for the fillet, but this time I opted for the loin cutlet to satisfy my craving for fatty meat. I ordered the Loin Katsu set (220g) which came with pickled cabbage, rice, and miso soup with clams. This traditional tonkatsu dish is made with trendy premium pork, thickly breaded and fried to a slightly rare pink color. The combination of fatty meat, tenderness, and flavor makes this loin katsu truly exceptional. Despite the price range being close to 3000 yen, the attentive service and quality make it worth the cost. If you're looking for a high-quality tonkatsu experience in front of Suitengu-mae Station, this is the place to go. It's a great restaurant.

Here, Udagawa-san was founded in 1967 in front of Mitsukoshi, offering set meals with pork cutlets for lunch and steak courses for dinner. It is an established restaurant that was temporarily closed but has now reopened in front of Suitengu Shrine. I happened to come across it and was drawn in by the atmosphere, so it was my first visit. I arrived around noon on a weekday and was seated at the counter with only a few other customers. For my first visit, I ordered the pork cutlet set meal. It was served in about 15 minutes. The crispy coating on the pork cutlet was very fragrant and crunchy, with a satisfying thickness. Personally, I really liked the coating. However, the pork meat itself was a bit tough and lacked juiciness. It had a clean taste overall, so maybe it was a good match with the coating. I also purchased the popular special pork cutlet sandwich to take home. It contained four slices of pork cutlet about 2cm thick, so it was very filling. I'm now undecided between trying the pork loin cutlet or the pork loin steak on my next visit.

Founded in 1967, this long-established tonkatsu restaurant recently reopened after redevelopment and caught my eye in the Tabelog Magazine, so I decided to visit right away. They offer Sunday lunch service, which is convenient. There is also a take-out deli shop next door. Arriving at 11:15 for the 11:00 opening time, I was the first customer with only 2 others following. The restaurant has one table and counter seats. I opted for the katsudon set meal, priced at 2000 yen, which came with coleslaw and miso soup. They offer free extra rice. While enjoying a beer, my meal was ready in no time, surprisingly quick. The katsudon had a nostalgic charm with a perfectly cooked egg and tender meat. The rice was also kept warm. The miso soup with clams was delicious. It's rare to see coleslaw at a tonkatsu restaurant, but I prefer regular cabbage. Lately, there has been a trend of non-breaded katsudon, but many places fall short in terms of frying skills or sauce flavor. A properly made katsudon from a long-standing restaurant like this one is undeniably delicious. In my opinion, it surpasses the popular but often overrated places with long lines. The friendly female staff added to the pleasant dining experience. Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable visit.

First Visit 202307 (No.4685) 1. Purpose of Visit I, Yukkyoshi, love the takeout special katsu sandwich from this place, but I heard that the neighboring store has opened for dine-in, so I wanted to check it out. 2. Restaurant Information - Genre on Tabelog: Tonkatsu, Teppanyaki - Opened on June 27, 2023 - Established in 1967 (Showa 42), this "meat" shop moved from Mitsukoshimae. The previous location had a high Tabelog rating of 3.60 with 127 reviews. - Operating hours: 11:00-14:30, 17:00-21:30 - Closed on Mondays - Seating capacity: 9 seats ⚠️ Sundays are open for lunch only 3. Crowdedness and Atmosphere on the Day of Visit Visited on a weekday at 11:00, no customers before and 1 customer after me. The restaurant has a small, cozy atmosphere with counter and table seating. 4. Customer Service The service was as per the manual but with thoughtful touches. 5. Order - Hirekatsu set: 2,800 yen I ordered the hirekatsu set, which came with "pickled cabbage." The lunch menu from the old location no longer includes "hamburg" and "kushikatsu," but the katsu sandwich is still available. The hirekatsu was perfectly fried, juicy, tender, and delicious. The miso soup had large clams, and the rice was freshly cooked and complemented the set well. Rice refills are available. 6. Summary I vaguely remember visiting the old location once during my university days when a classmate's father was a regular, but I can't recall what I had. The restaurant was known for its delicious steak, and the katsu sandwich was only sold as a souvenir upon request by regular customers. I decided to make a reservation for dinner to try the steak and left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Udagawa, a takeout specialty store where I have been buying my favorite "Tonkatsu Sandwich" multiple times, as they have now started a Tonkatsu restaurant as well. Established in 1967 near Mitsukoshi-mae, the Tonkatsu restaurant has finally made a comeback! The location is very close to Suitengumae Station, right next to the takeout shop. The restaurant has only one table and counter seats. This time, I sat at the counter. Although I came for the Tonkatsu, the top item on the menu was "Tonteki" for 3000 yen! Their recommended dish? I decided to try it. The set meal also included coleslaw, rice, miso soup, and essentially all-you-can-eat pickles. The coleslaw here is unique! It has pickles in it, making it quite sour, but it was refreshing on a hot day. The Tonteki that I was looking forward to was a thick, fatty loin steak sauté. I was expecting a sweet and savory sauce, but it was surprisingly simple. It came with mustard and garlic soy sauce, as well as freshly ground pepper. The meat was juicy. The light seasoning brought out the flavor of the meat and the sweetness of the fat. The freshly cooked shiny rice was very appetizing! Additionally, the miso soup with plenty of clams was incredibly delicious. According to the owner, "Pork loin has a sweeter fat and stronger flavor, so I recommend it. Be sure to try the loin for the Tonkatsu as well." Although I planned to try the Tonkatsu next time, I ended up really enjoying this satisfying Tonteki.

Visited Udagawa-san, who opened a restaurant next to the takeout-only shop in June 2023, aiming for the Ton Teki set meal (3,000 yen). I arrived at 13:30 and was able to enter smoothly as three customers were leaving at the time. The interior was clean with a nice counter seat and the calm atmosphere heightened my expectations for the service. After about 10 minutes, the miso soup arrived... delicious. You can feel the effort put into the miso soup from the size of the clams. And then the Ton Teki... thick yet tender, incredibly juicy! Each bite spreads the umami and the sweetness of the fat. I couldn't stop eating as the rice kept disappearing. How did they make it so tender... The chef kindly offered me more rice, but before I knew it, there was only one piece of Ton Teki left... I thought I should eat more carefully next time, haha. It was really delicious, a Ton Teki like I've never had before. You must try this Ton Teki at least once! Once you try it, you will definitely want to visit again. It was so delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Udagawa's ton teki, which has made a comeback after about 4 years, is absolutely delicious.

This is my fourth time here and it's delicious every time.
