Recently, there are more delicious tonkatsu restaurants in Kansai, which makes me happy! One of these delicious tonkatsu restaurants, "New Bayve," has opened in Toyosaki, Nakatsu. I had been wanting to go there for a while, and when I received an invitation from a friend saying "Let's go to a tonkatsu restaurant!" I made a reservation and went. They open at 11 am, so it's great for an early lunch! On this day, the restaurant quickly filled up with both reserved and walk-in customers. The lunch and dinner menus are almost the same, except that dinner does not come with rice or miso soup. I ordered the Half set for 2200 yen, which includes 60g of tenderloin and 120g of loin mix, along with cabbage, rice, miso soup, meat miso, and dessert. You can have unlimited refills of rice and cabbage. First, I tried the tenderloin. It was tender and juicy, with a light and gentle coating that made it overall light and delicious. It was great when eaten simply with salt and mustard. The loin had a more substantial texture and was satisfying to eat, but it was also tender with just the right amount of fat for a pleasant sweetness. Eating it with the special sauce made the rice disappear in no time! Both were delicious, but as time passed, the coating became a bit soggy, which was a bit disappointing. I wished they had served the tenderloin and loin with a slight time difference to prevent this. The cabbage was crunchy, but personally, I prefer a thinner and more delicate type. The homemade carrot dressing was delicious with lots of carrot flavor. The rice was glossy and freshly cooked, and the meat miso, while not too strong, was tasty enough to make you want to eat more rice. Finally, I finished with a refreshing yogurt dessert. The staff, who served with a lovely smile, left a great impression, and the atmosphere was pleasant, so I would love to visit again when I crave delicious tonkatsu.
