A tonkatsu restaurant that opened in June in Higobashi, Osaka. The main branch is Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten in Tanimachi Yonchome. The 150g Chiba-grown Lin SPF pork loin costs 2,000 yen. Various seasonings are available for flavor customization. The loin is not too fatty, has a sweetness to it, and is delicious. The tonjiru (pork miso soup) is also hearty with plenty of ingredients. The dishes and the interior of the restaurant are quite stylish, making it an innovative tonkatsu restaurant.

Waiting outside with 5 people at 12:10... Two of them turned out to be just smoking (I'm always amazed at the lack of manners and common sense of people from Kansai... I might get scolded by Kansai people for saying this). The remaining 3 people were also fuming. A group of 4 people who arrived later... had a reservation! Entered at 12:30, had the 2nd floor special pork cutlet lunch for ¥1000 with 9 pieces of cabbage. Had seconds of cabbage and miso soup today. By the way, a mixed lunch menu was introduced. Seems like they ran out of minced meat cutlets today, so couldn't order it. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at around 11:30 on Saturday and there was only one group of customers already there. They offer a lunch for 1,000 yen on weekdays, but on Saturdays the cheapest lunch is 2,000 yen. It may be a luxurious lunch for an old man like me, but the low-temperature cooked tonkatsu was incredibly delicious! There were various condiments available, but I felt that salt brought out the flavor and juiciness of the meat the best. This tonkatsu is a bit luxurious, but I think it's worth visiting at least once!

I entered the restaurant after 1:00 PM. There was no wait time and the restaurant had about 5 people inside. I ordered the TOKYO X 150g and it was served in about 15 minutes. The plate had miso, salt, olive oil, etc. just like the Yonshichi branch, but in the end, they only put salt on it. I think this restaurant is good for enjoying any kind of meat.

Y-san, who has visited this restaurant many times, noticed that the number of return visit service lunches had increased. In addition to the popular cutlet lunch, there was also a new mixed lunch option for 1,000 yen. Although I initially thought there was only seating on the first floor, I was pleasantly surprised to find table seating available on the second floor as well. Visiting on a weekday at 11:15 am, the first floor was fully occupied, so we were directed to a table on the second floor. I ordered the new mixed lunch while my companion ordered the cutlet lunch due to the crowded conditions. The food arrived 24 minutes after ordering, and we both said "Let's eat." The meal consisted of 5 pieces of cutlet and 1 minced cutlet. I found the minced cutlet, with its light sweetness, to be more enjoyable than the fatty cutlet. After finishing our meal, we said "Thank you for the meal."

The quality of the pork was outstanding. The meat had a good level of fat that was enjoyable to eat. There were plenty of condiments available, allowing for different ways to enjoy the meal. You can have unlimited refills of rice, cabbage, and pork soup at this reasonably priced restaurant. Great taste, generous portions, and a nice atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit.

New Baybe, a restaurant known for serving rare pork varieties such as TOKYO X, Lin SPF, and Ishigami Kyokubuta, has opened in Higobashi, Osaka. The Lin SPF pork I tried was visually stunning and incredibly tender, with a light taste that makes it easy to enjoy. The miso soup was also delicious and packed with ingredients. They offer free refills on rice and miso soup up to two times, then an additional ¥100 from the third refill onwards. They also have a tonkatsu course available at night, offering a variety of options to enjoy. The counter seating makes it easy for solo diners, as I saw a woman enjoying a solo lunch. If you're interested, definitely give it a try! ❤️ #NewBaybe #Higobashi #OsakaDining #Tonkatsu #LinSPF

When you exit from the 8th exit of Higobashi Station, it's a 3-minute walk to a specialty tonkatsu restaurant that uses brand pork. For the lunch service, they offer a brand pork "heta" cutlet for 1000 yen including tax, so it's always packed during lunchtime! The pork served here includes SPF pork from Chiba, Ishigami premium pork from Chiba, and TOKYO X pork from Ibaraki. The fluffy cabbage is all-you-can-eat. The pork miso soup with plenty of ingredients can be refilled once. The tonkatsu is fried at low and high temperatures by professionals, and then cooked thoroughly with residual heat. Just watching this process from the counter is truly impressive! The pork is raised with minimal antibiotic use and fed mainly grains, which highlights the value of the brand. The quality of the meat, the flavor, and the sweetness of the fat are so rich that they disappear in your mouth. For dinner, there is a course where you can compare different brand pork, which also caught my interest! It was a truly amazing experience beyond imagination!

I had previously visited a popular tonkatsu restaurant in Yatamachi 4-chome, but I discovered their Higobashi branch and decided to visit. It turns out that they have already expanded to several locations within Osaka city, offering more than just tonkatsu. When I visited the Yatamachi branch, I thought it was the type of place that was rooted in the local community, but it seems quite different. Perhaps they have a consultant or producer behind the scenes. Anyway, I visited for lunch and ordered the lunch limited "Heta Katsu". The default comes with 6 bite-sized katsu, but they mentioned that you can add up to 9 pieces, so I went for the maximum. At a price of 1,000 yen and using brand pork, it's quite a good deal. The katsu served was indeed bite-sized. The shape may not be perfect but it was tender, with little fat content making it more like a lean cut. The quality of the meat was good, and it was quite delicious. The thick and crispy coating was slightly lacking, but considering the price and quality, I was quite satisfied. Especially with the recent inflation of tonkatsu restaurants, it's nice to find a place that offers good quality at an affordable price.

Chiba Prefecture-produced Rin SPF pork loin 180g for 2100 yen. Additional hire for 1000 yen. Weekday limited service lunch: Tonkatsu (6 pieces) with up to 3 additional pieces for free. You can choose either cabbage or lettuce as the additional vegetable. Rice and miso soup are free for up to 2 servings! (100 yen from the 3rd serving). I'm happy that my favorite miso soup is included. The brand pork is delicious, and the hire is tender! The tonkatsu was a good bite-size.

Service lunch "Hetakatsu" (1000 yen) is usually served with 6 pieces, but you can get 3 extra pieces for free, so I ordered 9 pieces. You can choose between cabbage and lettuce for the vegetables served with the cutlet, and of course, cabbage is the best choice for cutlets. The origin of "Hetakatsu" is unknown, but it seems to be made from various leftover cuts of pork, deep-fried. Since each piece is a different cut, you can enjoy not knowing whether it's fillet or loin until you eat it. Rice, miso soup, and vegetable refills are free, and the hot miso soup with plenty of ingredients was very satisfying.

New Baybe, a popular tonkatsu restaurant in the business district of Tani-shi, which despite opening in February 2021, was selected for the "Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten 2022" on Tabelog, has now opened in Osaka Higobashi! They offer a selection of brand pork including SPF Pork from Chiba, Mangalitsa Pork from Miyazaki, and TOKYO X from Ibaraki, with choices of loin, rib loin, and tenderloin (prices vary depending on the brand pork). The set meal style includes free refills of rice, miso soup, and vegetables (additional 100 yen from the 3rd refill). I ordered the SPF Pork Tenderloin 120g (1900 yen), and the perfectly fried tenderloin, with its crispy coating and juicy meat, was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. The dish was beautifully garnished with a variety of condiments such as coarse pepper, yuzu pepper, and akagara. The elegant plates that New Baybe is known for added to the overall dining experience. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Higo Bridge ◇ Tonkatsu ◇ [1 Chome, Nishi-ku, Edobori, Higobashi Intersection, 2 minutes southwest of Kinko Kyokai on the north side of the alley, New Baybe Higobashi store] The fourth store following Kitahorie and Toyosaki is now open in Higobashi. The small shop has 8 counter seats and one table. This shop also opens at 11:00, so you can have lunch before it gets crowded. I had the TOKYO X rib roast at the Kitahorie store, but it was a bit heavy for me. I prefer the tenderloin. Service lunch (weekdays only) ◆ Hetakatsu (1000 yen) - Choose between 6 to 9 pieces of bite-sized cutlets - Rice, miso soup, and free refills of vegetables (cabbage or lettuce) Order was ready in 8 minutes. I chose 6 pieces of Hetakatsu with cabbage. I tried the tonkatsu sauce, salt, and spicy sauce, and they were all good. The pork soup with lots of pork pieces and daikon was delicious (free refills up to the 2nd bowl). Rice, dessert, and yogurt are also included. An average person could eat 9 pieces easily. The cutlets were tender and delicious. "Thank you for the meal."

Had lunch at New Bayve in Higo Bridge. I was thinking of getting the expensive tonkatsu, but decided to go with their recommended dish, the Hetakatsu. It was small but satisfying, and went well with the rice. It's a bit fatty, so if you prefer something lighter, you might want to go with the fillet instead. Otherwise, I recommend the Hetakatsu!

I remembered the famous tonkatsu restaurant Tonkatsu Manje in Osaka. I learned about this place from my high school classmate Nagao. It used to be a popular udon restaurant location. Next to it is a yakitori restaurant that hosted a welcome party for new employees last month. They sell various types of pork from different regions based on breed, cut, and weight. The prices range from 1,900 yen to 3,700 yen. For those on a budget, they offer a special lunch menu called "Hetakatsu" for 1,000 yen. It consists of small pieces of fried pork from the various pork breeds they offer. The portion may be small, but the variety of cuts makes it interesting. The tonkatsu was delicious, and the pork soup was especially tasty. Overall, it was a satisfying meal for the price.

Still not well known, but even at this time, you can slide in for the safe service lunch at Takatsu. The set meal for ¥1000 includes default of 6 small pieces of pork cutlet, with the option to add up to 3 more pieces, along with rice, side dish, and unlimited miso soup. The pieces may be small, but they are perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can choose between cabbage and lettuce for the side, and this time I chose lettuce. The shredded lettuce was delicious! And of course, pork cutlet goes well with miso soup. It seems to be a chain restaurant (apparently there are 4 branches of this place), but this is definitely worth a try. I might become a regular here!

[Situation] Solo/Family This shop, which already has multiple branches, recently opened a new location just a few minutes from Higobashi Station, tucked away in a back alley. I visited and found out that they also have a second floor that can accommodate groups. It seems you can also enjoy drinks at night. On this day, I tried the TOKYO X brand pork loin from Ibaraki prefecture. It came with plenty of condiments and free refills of pork miso soup, rice, and vegetables. It was a delightful meal. The pork was elegant, with just the right amount of fat and seasoned perfectly with salt. It was a little luxury treat for lunch, and I definitely want to come back again! Thank you for the meal!

Opened on June 26, 2023, "NewBabe Higobashi Store" (Osaka, Higobashi). Ordered the weekday limited service lunch set "Heta Katsu" for 1000 yen, with 6 pieces included and the option to add 3 more for free, so I got 9 pieces. It's more like 9 small bites of katsu...

Weekday limited service lunch Heta Katsu for 1,000 yen A deep-fried pork cutlet made with premium pork heta. Approximately 6 pieces per serving, with up to 3 additional pieces for free. Comes with rice, miso soup, and vegetables. It was my first visit here. A new restaurant by NewBabe in Nakazaki has made it more accessible, so I was planning to visit, but now they have opened here in a more convenient location, Higobashi! The lunch is affordable and cute. Next time, I want to try their proper, full-sized pork cutlet!
