◯Famous Dish: Dad's Katsudon - Large Portion (700 yen + 100 yen) ◯Kushikatsu (250 yen) ... ordered (total 1,050 yen) I visited this restaurant known for its katsudon. I was curious, so I decided to check it out. The parking lot in front of the shop has space for 3 cars, but when I arrived on a weekday at 12:30, I had to wait for 30 minutes for a parking spot. During that time, 2 more cars came to check the parking situation. It seems like the place is popular but lacks parking space. The katsudon is only 700 yen, which is quite cheap. You can add a large portion for an extra 100 yen, which means you get 600g of rice. So I decided to go for the large portion! It arrived in about 8 minutes. Wow! The portion is huge, and the rice is overflowing. The katsu is quite thin, about 5mm thick, similar to ginger pork. I took a bite and it was delicious! The broth is really good. I also got some shichimi togarashi, which made it even better. But wait, the katsu is too little, I knew I would run out of rice! I looked around for something else to order and saw on the whiteboard that they have kushikatsu for 250 yen! Perfect! I tried to order it, and the lady at the counter said, "You need more side dishes, right? But it will take some time, is that okay?" I said it's fine, and she relayed the message to the father in the kitchen, who then scolded her for saying it would be quick. I felt bad for causing trouble. While I was waiting, they served me the kushikatsu ahead of other orders. It was really delicious, with a filling of maybe fin or onion. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the rice until the last bite. I was satisfied with the kindness of the lady. Thank you for the meal.

After relocating from Chuo Ward, I finally visited and had the special hirekatsu set for 1500 yen. The meat was thick and juicy, with a light and crispy coating. The tonkatsu set was 750 yen and had a nice crispy texture. I also got a katsudon to go for 700 yen, which was still delicious even when cold. I even added some of the special hirekatsu to the katsudon and it was amazingly good when eaten with Himalayan salt. Everything was top-notch, and I will definitely come back to try other menu items.

I heard that there is a delicious restaurant that serves Katsudon, so I decided to go there for lunch today. The opening time is 11:00 and there is only parking space for 2 cars, so I made sure to arrive before the opening time. When I arrived at the restaurant just before 11:00, there was already one car parked there. So, there are actually parking spaces for 3 cars. Inside the restaurant, there was only one customer already seated. I ordered the Katsudon for 700 yen including tax. It seemed reasonably priced. After waiting for about 10 minutes, the dish arrived. The appearance looked good, but the bowl was shallow so the rice portion was not very large. The egg topping had some partially raw texture. The Katsu itself was not very thick. The rice was tasty, and the broth had a slightly sweet and flavorful taste. Overall, it was a decent meal considering the price. The restaurant was not crowded, with only one other group of customers. It seems like it's not very busy on weekdays.

The weather was so nice that I decided to escape from home early. I headed in the opposite direction from my house and found a restaurant called "Ajidokoro Sakaba Nakamura," which had moved from Susukino to Teine. I arrived about 5 minutes before opening and was greeted warmly, so I entered right away. Since it was my first time at Nakamura, I decided to go with the one option on the menu, which was the Katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl) for 700 yen including tax. It arrived in about 10 minutes, and it looked great. The rice portion was quite large at 250g. The pork cutlet was thin, but it had a nice dashi flavor without being too soupy. I enjoyed mixing the rice and pork cutlet together, and I ended up feeling quite full after finishing it all. Next time, I think I'll try ordering less rice or maybe a set meal. Thank you for the meal.

I occasionally go to Teine, but finally visited "Nakamura" that I had been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a restaurant that specializes in katsudon. I had the katsudon and B set. Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! I hope the owner continues to do well. Thumbs up. I will definitely go again.

I couldn't forget the taste of the katsudon here, so I came back. The price went up by 50 yen and the large size increased by 100 yen. But once I took a bite, all I could think was how delicious it is! The large size now has even more rice than before. Even with the large size, it's only 800 yen! Still, it's cheap for such a delicious katsudon!

Bottle of beer ¥680, sweet potato salad ¥300, shrimp and egg bowl ¥750. It was around 1:20 PM on a weekday, with two customers before and two after me. They ran out of rice and had to close early, turning away a single customer. It happens sometimes. I enjoyed a slightly sweet sweet potato salad and beer for a lunchtime drink. I was tempted by the meat-stuffed bell peppers set meal on the board, but ended up ordering a bowl dish. The shrimp and rice soaked in sauce was just perfect! I devoured it and it was delicious. I remembered when my son, who was visiting from the Kanto region, envied Hokkaido while eating a pork cutlet bowl. I hope this place continues for a long time.

I arrived early for lunch and luckily found a parking spot in the small parking lot. There were no other customers when I arrived, but soon after many people came in and ordered the Katsudon. Although this place is known for their Katsudon, I ended up ordering the Katsu set because I suddenly felt like eating Katsu with sauce (laughs). The female staff was very kind and provided great service. I could hear the sound of meat being pounded in the kitchen. The sauce was watery and light, but delicious. The breading on the Katsu was a bit hard to eat because it came off easily, but it was tasty! I thought the soup was miso soup, but it turned out to be clear soup. I will definitely come back next time to try the Katsudon! It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

In April 2023, I used to go to Susukino at night. I arrived around noon and luckily found the parking lot in front of the store empty. I ordered the famous "Oyaji-chan's Katsudon" (700 yen). The female staff informed me that it would take a little while, but the wait was about 15 minutes. The visually ordinary "Katsudon", which is said to be one of the best in Hokkaido, arrived. The pork loin covering the bowl was slightly thin but large, and the juicy katsu covered with perfectly half-cooked egg was excellent. It paired perfectly with the sweet sauce. The onion soaked in the sauce added a sweet and salty flavor, making the rice even more delicious and easy to eat. The restaurant has moved to in front of JR Teine Station, so I can't go there often, but it is definitely a must-visit place when I'm nearby. They have a wide variety of menu items, but I always end up ordering the Katsudon. Thank you for the meal!

This is a small diner located in Honcho, close to Teine Station. It used to be a popular spot in Susukino before moving here. Their specialty is the "Katsudon" by Oyaji, priced at 800 yen for a large portion. The cutlet is a bit thin but crispy, and the egg is perfectly half-cooked with a delicious sweet and savory sauce. The regular size comes with 250g of rice, while the large size has 500g. I got the large size today, but I recommend the regular size for a better balance. The large size didn't have enough sauce and ingredients, so I had to eat a lot of plain rice. My companion ordered the Ebi Tendon, which had 3 plump shrimp. They also offer daily specials, and today was the Hoke Fry set meal. The cost performance is great, which is why the place is always busy with customers coming in one after another. There were also quite a few people ordering takeout.

A local neighborhood diner that specializes in tonkatsu, katsudon, and other fried foods, serving lunch only. It's always crowded, with a packed interior, but they serve quickly and offer great value for the price. The menchi katsu has an incredibly rich meaty flavor that's irresistible!

I finally made it to Nakamura's. I'm going to eat my favorite katsudon! The restaurant is very small, with tables for two packed closely together. But almost all customers are ordering katsudon, so it must be popular. As soon as I take a bite, oh, the way the egg is cooked is amazing! The sauce runs juicy in my mouth. The pork cutlet is thin and cheap, but the taste is a little strong, yet delicious! The rice is cooked perfectly, not mushy, with each grain distinct. It's like a drink when you eat it, similar to curry rice. It seems like the restaurant is run by just two people, handling both cooking and serving, so they must be busy. I will definitely come back!

I visited the hearty restaurant "Nakamura" around 1:00 pm on a weekday. I had taro salad for ¥300, pork cutlet rice bowl for ¥650, and beer for ¥550. There was one group of customers before me and one after me. I have a medical test tomorrow, so I wanted to treat myself and enjoy some good food and beer before that. The taro salad was delicious with a hint of sweetness. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

A friend recommended this place saying that the katsudon is delicious and cheap, so I decided to try it out. After just one bite, I was amazed by how delicious it was! And the best part is, it only cost 650 yen! I think this might be one of the best places to eat in Sapporo. Next time, I'll definitely try the large size! 😊

I discovered a collaboration menu that is limited to lunch only, while considering the cost performance of such a menu. Compared to the recent high-end tonkatsu restaurants, this place feels overall cheaper. When I see "limited" or "special" written on the menu, I can't help but be drawn to it. The B set meal with fillet cutlet, tonkatsu cabbage, soup, and pickles is offered here. The interior of the restaurant, although small, has partitions which is nice, but the proximity to the neighboring tables is unavoidable. Despite some things that bother me, it can't be helped. The service is relatively fast even when the restaurant is crowded. The ordered dishes arrive. I try a piece of the fillet first. It has a hint of saltiness, and it tastes good even on its own. The tonkatsu is a bit tough and has a crispy texture when bitten into. Although the meat itself is tasty, I prefer tonkatsu that has been meticulously prepared. The tonkatsu here has quite a bit of breading coming off, but the breading itself is slightly thick and has a crunchy texture, which I like. As I continue eating, I find that I can't finish the rice, so I decide to drizzle some sauce that came with the set meal onto the meat... I pay attention to not get the sauce on the breading. I have a personal preference of adding sauce or soy sauce to each piece of meat I eat to avoid getting liquid on the breading. If I want to add sauce to 2-3 pieces at once, I prefer a sauce with viscosity. I also like to add sesame seeds to the tonkatsu sauce for a fruity flavor. Having salt on the table would also be nice. The tonkatsu tends to lose its breading more than the fillet, but the fillet is moist and tender, and I truly enjoy its deliciousness. The rice is tasty but slightly soft. I enjoy the cabbage with a watery sauce. I didn't eat the pickles, and the soup is simple but a nice addition to the set meal. The restaurant has moved from Susukino to Teine Ward, and during the opening period, I couldn't find parking so I had to give up. Even now, it gets crowded during lunchtime, so if you time it right, you can get a seat. This time, the restaurant was full, but as I was driving around the area, a spot opened up and I was able to get in.

Cheese Menchi Katsu set meal for ¥850. I arrived after 1:00 pm on a weekday. There were 2 customers before me and 3 groups after me. It's a popular place. I tried the Cheese Torori Menchi Katsu that I was curious about. It was very filling. There were some high school boys among the customers after me, it's a better deal than fast food, good job! (^^)

After relocating, my first visit. There are two parking spaces in front of the store. I ordered the pork cutlet bowl for 650 yen. It was served quickly. The half-cooked texture is still good. The sauce on the bowl is a bit on the sweeter side. The pork cutlet seemed a bit thin. I remember it being thicker in the past. Keeping the price at 650 yen amidst price increases for various items is commendable. (September 2022)

Visited Nakamura for the first time after moving to Nakamura, Sapporo. It's hard to come here even though it seems like I can. Ordered: - Katsudon 650 yen - Ebi Tendon 650 yen Impressions: I am truly impressed that they are still selling at this price. The quality for the price is unbeatable. If this restaurant were closer, I would definitely be a regular customer. The half-cooked egg was especially delicious. Thank you very much.

"Ebi Tendon Donburi for July 2022, priced at 650 yen. Located a 5-minute walk from JR Teine Minami Exit, this popular restaurant has moved from the city center. The interior is small, with only 6 tables closely arranged, requiring some maneuvering. It gets crowded after 1 pm on weekdays, with customers sometimes having to wait outside. The menu mainly consists of fried dishes priced between 650-750 yen, making it affordable. Lunch comes with free extra rice! While the Katsudon is famous, the slightly lighter 'Ebi Tendon Donburi' for 650 yen is recommended. It features a large shrimp with a moderate amount of batter, not too greasy. The egg is nicely half-cooked, and the generous amount of onions complements the flavorful rice well. The slightly thick broth is delicious. A small serving of pickles, seaweed, and wheat gluten soup is served at the end, providing a gentle and refreshing taste. Overall, a satisfying meal."

"Pork Cutlet Bowl" priced at 650 yen (tax included) from the lunch menu (rice bowl dish). As part of the lunch service, you will also receive pickles and soup. The pork cutlet slightly protrudes from the bowl. The tender meat has some fat and is thinly sliced. The breading is also thin. The pork cutlet is thoroughly soaked in a sweet and savory sauce, both in the meat and the breading. Additionally, onions, egg, and rice are well soaked in the sauce. The onions are spread across the rice, providing a crunchy texture. The egg is slightly runny. Despite appearing shallow, the bowl contains a good amount of rice. The rice is also soaked in the sauce, making it easy to eat. In my opinion, this pork cutlet bowl represents the ideal and perfected form of a pork cutlet bowl."
