A while ago, I visited this restaurant once but didn't feel like going back. However, my son requested to visit it again after a long time. This restaurant is a meat shop that serves "tonkatsu" (breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet), and it used to have a variety of side dishes when I came before. But this time, probably due to the influence of COVID-19, there were hardly any side dishes available, and there were few customers even during lunchtime. Feeling a slight unease, I ordered the pork loin cutlet set, my son ordered the pork fillet cutlet set (which seems the opposite considering our ages!), and my wife ordered the mixed cutlet set. The first dish served was the mixed cutlet set, which had an incredibly large portion. I wondered if we could finish it all. Soon, the pork loin and pork fillet arrived, and we started eating. The breading was crispy, and the meat was tender. However, the smell of the frying oil was strong. Probably because there were few customers, they hadn't changed it (or couldn't change it). The large portion, combined with the strong smell, felt like a body blow. We had to balance it out with rice. My wife gave up after eating only two-thirds, and my son struggled to finish his portion. Disliking leaving food uneaten, I pushed myself to finish it. On the way back in the car, all three of us were silent.

Lunch search. PayPay accepted, and they offer set meals. Tried a tonkatsu restaurant in Tachiarai with good reviews! The restaurant has both tables and tatami seating. Everything from water to chopsticks is self-service. The menu and tables were a bit sticky. Ordered the Hire Katsu set meal 200g for 1600 yen. Rice and miso soup are free for refills. Good for those who eat a lot. Saw a Kin no Tsuru car parked in the parking lot, so I looked it up and was surprised to find out it's part of the Kin no Tsuru group! Thank you for the meal.

Tonkatsu restaurant "Chizuru" on the way from Amagi to Kurume. I stopped by for lunch. Although it is a tonkatsu restaurant, they also offer various set meals. I ordered the Chicken Nanban set meal for 770 yen. While waiting, I prepared my own water, a complimentary small side dish, a wet towel, chopsticks, etc. About 7 pieces of chicken nanban, similar to fried chicken. It is a unique type with raw onions on top. The sweet vinegar sauce has a gentle flavor with not too much acidity. The crunchy and sweet onions are delicious. I enjoyed dipping the fried chicken in the tartar sauce with pickles. Since it's a tonkatsu restaurant, the fried chicken is crispy and tasty. I would like to try the regular fried chicken set meal next time. Thank you for the meal!

I visited Chizuru in Mitsui district, Fukuoka prefecture. Their Friday special for lunch is the Pork Cutlet Set Meal for 850 yen. When I arrived, the restaurant was empty and refreshing. I placed my order with the waitress and then helped myself to the free side dishes corner. The food was served on small plates, probably for hygiene reasons. The Pork Cutlet, weighing almost 200g, was crispy and well-cooked with a generous portion. The original Japanese-style sauce made by the restaurant enhanced the flavor of the cutlet. Rice, miso soup, and cabbage were all refillable, and you can also add more of the Japanese sauce. I recommend trying it with a mix of salt, sauce, and Japanese sauce. It was a delicious meal.

This is a restaurant operated by Ide Shoten, which specializes in pork cutlets and is part of the popular cutlet chain "Tonkatsu Kinnotsuru" offering all-you-can-eat side dishes. The interior of the restaurant feels more like a family restaurant than an individual store. While they offer all-you-can-eat side dishes like Kinnotsuru, the variety is not as extensive. I ordered the recommended "Fukuoka Prefecture Herb-finished Pork Loin Cutlet Set (150g)" for 1,100 yen. A surprisingly large cutlet arrived, fried to perfection and juicy. It goes well with the original Japanese-style sauce served generously. With such a wide range of menu options, I couldn't help but be intrigued by the "Fried Horse Mackerel Set (with plenty of tartar sauce)" for 650 yen (laughs).

I want to eat katsu curry! It has always been my favorite, but a few days ago, after seeing a series of reviews from MyRebi-sama, I developed a serious case of "I want to eat katsu curry syndrome". I decided to go to a pork cutlet restaurant to satisfy my craving, but either the place was crowded or closed, so my treatment failed. I reluctantly settled for Sri Lankan curry while admiring a beautiful lady, but it was just a temporary fix and the illness returned. So, I decided to visit "Chizuru" in Otoarai-machi, Mitsui-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. I arrived at the restaurant at 10:50 a.m., hoping to be the first customer, but they were already open. I was seated by a curry-like lady and shown the menu. I almost blurted out "mutton curry and naan", but since it was a pork cutlet place, I refrained. "I'll have the katsu curry, please." With that, my order was placed. Since it's a pork cutlet place, they probably won't serve dal curry or nasi goreng. Where are all the Japanese part-time workers at convenience stores and restaurants? They seem to offer pickles as a service, but that's expected from a curry place, right? The katsu curry set arrived. A set meal only comes with a salad, which was just shredded cabbage with a little seaweed on top. The dressing was also lacking. Come on, put in a little more effort! I'll eat the katsu curry. The pork cutlet was thick and tender, as expected from a pork cutlet place, and the meat itself was delicious. The curry was tasty and easy to eat, resembling the curry from a Western-style restaurant, but the spices accumulated as I finished eating, making it spicy. It was delicious, but I wanted a little more. I wonder if they offer a larger portion? What exactly is the definition of a set meal? If you're going to include a salad, at least give us a better one! Mixing the cabbage from the pork cutlet side dish with the seaweed from the miso soup, and not even properly dressing the salad, are they mocking the customers? I was about 70% satisfied with the katsu curry alone, but looking back, it was an unpleasant lunch. Thank you for the meal. My frustration lies here.

I went to Chizuru in Mitsui-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. Until September, the weather was still hot, so the lunch options were relatively healthy. But once October arrived, my appetite was in full swing! On a Friday, I had some business in Tosu City, so I decided to have the daily special lunch set at Chizuru - the pork cutlet set meal for 850 yen. It's a smoking-permitted restaurant, so I made sure to arrive right at the 11:00 am opening time to enjoy my meal without any smoke disturbance. The first customer in the fresh and clean interior, I first checked out the small side dish corner. While not as extravagant as their affiliated stores, it was a nice touch. When the pork cutlet arrived, it looked as wonderful as ever. For a price in the 800 yen range, the quality was unbelievable! I enjoyed the pork cutlet with their delicious homemade Japanese-style sauce, making it even tastier. Of course, I asked for a refill of rice and miso soup, and ended up feeling very full and satisfied. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but it's a restaurant I want to visit regularly. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Chizuru, a tonkatsu restaurant in Tatsumi-araicho. I often pass by it but never had the chance to visit until now. I happened to pass by during lunchtime and decided to go in. The restaurant is quite spacious, with about 11 tables and several raised tatami seating areas. After looking at the menu, I decided on the Chicken Katsu set, but just before placing my order, I saw a sign that caught my eye. It advertised a new menu item for fall - the Ajifurai set (with karaage) for 650 yen. I quickly changed my order to the Ajifurai set. The set came with rice, miso soup, Ajifurai, karaage, and cabbage - a well-balanced meal. I enjoyed the Ajifurai with plenty of tartar sauce. The crispiness of the Ajifurai and the strong flavor of the tartar sauce complemented each other well. The karaage was also small and easy to eat. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Next time, I'll try the tonkatsu since it is a tonkatsu restaurant after all. There were no designated smoking or non-smoking areas in the restaurant.

I went to Chizuru in Mitsui District, Fukuoka Prefecture. Today is Friday and I was on my way to Kurume City. Suddenly, I remembered that Fridays are the special days for the Rosukatsu set meal at Chizuru (800 yen). So, I quickly changed my route to Kurume via Tachiarai to visit Chizuru. The restaurant allows smoking all day, so I prefer to visit right after it opens as a non-smoker. There was only one couple already there when I arrived, so I could enjoy my meal peacefully. Since I had work later, I decided to skip the beer and focus on enjoying the rice and tonkatsu. I helped myself to some pickles and simple side dishes while waiting for the tonkatsu to arrive. Finally, the Rosukatsu set meal was served, with a generous portion of almost 200g of pork loin tonkatsu. I started by dipping the meat in my favorite Japanese sauce, which perfectly combined the richness of the meat, the crispy coating, and the sauce. The tonkatsu sauce also enhanced the flavor of the tonkatsu. I couldn't stop eating the rice and ended up getting seconds of rice and miso soup. After finishing the meal, I felt both happy and stuffed. For only 800 yen, the quality and quantity of the meal at Chizuru are always impressive. Although it may be a bit out of the way, I highly recommend trying this great tonkatsu restaurant. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I enjoyed the pork cutlet curry, chicken nanban set meal, and pork cutlet set meal.

I visited Tonkatsu Chizuru in Odoroki-cho. It's a place I've been familiar with since childhood, near my parents' house and high school. It had been a while since I last visited. It's a shop run by a butcher and also a sister shop. I ordered the lunch set which included tonkatsu and fried chicken for 850 yen. It seemed like the tonkatsu was sliced thinner than before. It had a crispy texture, but the breading was a bit overwhelming. I felt it was a bit lacking, but the side dishes were all you can eat and free refills, so it filled me up. The shop didn't seem very clean. It's a place that brings back nostalgic memories with its familiar taste.
