Last day of the New Year holidays. I decided to extend my journey to Shizumachi in Hokkaido before heading to Obihiro. I wanted to visit the new location of Mishina-san. I arrived 10 minutes before the 11am opening time and secured the second spot in line. The newly renovated store was spacious with high ceilings and ceiling fans. There were counter seats, table seats, and even raised seating areas. Despite it being a weekday, the place was bustling with customers. I placed my order using a tablet and received the assorted set meal in about 15 minutes. The set included pork cutlet, skewered cutlet, shrimp fry, eggplant fry, and a large chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet was particularly juicy and delicious. The pork cutlet and skewered cutlet were crispy and tasty with salt and sauce. The two types of salt, ground with a mill, added to the flavors. The meal was satisfying and worth the price of 2,080 yen. I paid using d payment, but they also have a self-checkout machine for cash payments.

It's been a while since I visited Tokachi. As usual, I bought Genghis Khan in Yurakucho in Nishi-Obihiro and for lunch, I tried Mishina, a place I had always wanted to visit. It had just opened but about 80% of the seats were already taken. It seems to be quite popular. The restaurant is new and very clean, with a high ceiling and an open atmosphere. Orders are placed through a tablet. Since I was in Tokachi, I wanted to eat pork bowl, while my companion chose the shrimp fry set meal that they love. The staff, including those in the kitchen, are mostly women. My pork bowl arrived. The rice was normal, but there was a lot of meat. It was tender pork loin, but the sauce was a bit strong and salty. Furthermore, there was a lot of sauce on the rice, making it a bit overwhelming as you eat more. In the past, I used to like the black pork bowl at Panchou or Shinbashi, but now there are many places like Tonda. I still think Panchou is the best. The shrimp fry had a thick batter with fine breadcrumbs. It seemed to have its own sauce, but my companion wanted tartar sauce. The taste was not bad, the portion was good, and the price was reasonable, so I will try the tonkatsu next time.

I was able to visit after a long time on a Friday evening, and I was able to sit down without waiting. It was crowded during lunchtime. Although I had planned to order the tonkatsu set meal since it had been a while, after seeing a picture of the curry, I thought I hadn't tried it before. So, I decided to order the pork cutlet curry (I probably have had it before). Orders are placed using a touch panel, and self-checkout was also available. The curry had a quite sweet taste with a mild flavor without much spice. The pork cutlet was quite voluminous, with a good amount of fat typical of pork loin, but it wasn't heavy. It was lighter than it looked. Towards the end of the meal, they offered warm tea, which was nice as it was getting cooler in the evening, even though it had been quite hot during the day. The staff was always cheerful and efficient, which I believe is a highlight of this restaurant's hospitality.

Tonkatsu no Mishina 2023.06.09 Today, what I can do is to support at least the food and beverage industry while being very careful. Let's all do our best together! I visited "Tonkatsu no Mishina" for the second time this week after checking out the menu last time. Location: Along Route 38 in Onoe, Shimizu-cho, Mikage. The exterior of the restaurant is clean and spacious, with a one-story white wall building. Inside, it is clean and spacious with 7 counter seats, 8 tables for 4 people, and 3 raised tables for 6 people. They have a touch panel for ordering. This time, I ordered the Rib Roast Cutlet Sandwich for 2,000 yen (tax included). The rib roast is a cutlet with twice the normal amount of fat, cooked medium-well, freshly fried, and served hot. The homemade sauce is well soaked and very delicious. The bread is crispy and crunchy, a testament to the soft and delicious meat from this longstanding three-generation tonkatsu restaurant. The friendly and beautiful mama greeted me with a smile again today. Next time, I will come to try the katsu-don. Thank you for the meal. Tonkatsu no Mishina offers takeout. Business hours are 11:00-21:00 (last order at 20:30), and they are closed on Wednesdays.

Tonkatsu Mishina 2023.06.05 Today, I visited "Tonkatsu Mishina" for lunch. The restaurant is located in Shimizu-cho Mikage along National Route 38. The exterior is clean and spacious, with a white-walled one-story building. Inside, there are 7 counter seats, 8 tables for 4 people, and 3 raised tables for 6 people. They have a touch panel for ordering. I ordered the Ginger Pork Set Meal for 1,980 yen. The pork loin meat with some fat, topped with plenty of leeks and coated with wheat flour, is soaked in a sweet and savory ginger sauce that goes really well with rice. The meat, from this long-standing tonkatsu restaurant run by three generations, is tender and delicious. Next time, I will definitely come back to try their Katsu Sandwich. The beautiful mama at the restaurant greeted me with a smile as I left. Thank you for the delicious meal! Tonkatsu Mishina offers takeout. Business hours: 11:00-21:00 (Last Order 20:30) Closed on Wednesdays.

I've always been curious about Mishina-san in Mikage when passing by on Route 38. But every time I look, there's always a line or lots of cars, so I never made it a destination. Finally, I decided to go on a rainy day. The prices are a bit high, but I guess it's worth it. After all, as long as my stomach is full, it's all good. The food arrived - I was torn between the pork cutlet and curry cutlet. The set meal also caught my eye, but this time I went with the curry cutlet. The 3x portion only costs 400 yen more, but I thought that would be too much. The curry cutlet is huge! And it's so delicious. It's spicy, but you can handle it with some water. Spicy, but both the cutlet and curry are tasty. I'm so satisfied - I don't need to eat anything for about 10 days. My heart, body, stomach, and soul are all content. I'll definitely go back.

The pork cutlet spa, the pork cutlet is 1,280 yen. The pork cutlet is crispy and the meat is thick and very delicious. It has a satisfying volume. I ate it with cabbage and sauce, and the sauce is delicious. You order using a touch panel system. The restaurant is very clean.

I'm Mishina. I had tonkatsu, but actually, this place serves pork chops! Seriously! It's Mishina's Pork Chop, not Tonkatsu! I inserted my face into a panel of a YouTuber from Niikappu, entered the restaurant, and ordered the Pork Chop Set for 1,980 yen on a tablet. Ah! This Pork Chop is amazing! I was so focused on eating. It was so satisfying! Really, it was delicious! I want to eat it again. Thank you for the meal!

Tokachi Shimizu is a popular tonkatsu restaurant. They have been in business for over 50 years and seem to have various commitments, such as using Hokkaido-produced pork and never using frozen meat. The restaurant was renovated last year (April 2022), with a beautiful and fresh exterior. The young second-generation president seems to be making various efforts, such as offering online shopping, vending machines, and takeout drive-thru lockers. I visited on a weekday at 13:30, so the peak time had passed and there were about 30% of customers. The interior is also new and clean, with a bright atmosphere featuring counter seats, table seats, and a raised seating area. I ordered the popular "Spa Katsu (1280 yen)" using the touch panel. I chose the fillet for the topping. Although I hesitated between fillet and loin, the fillet seemed to be the flagship product. The dish arrived on a hot plate in about 10 minutes. As expected from a tonkatsu restaurant, shredded cabbage was served on a separate plate. The fillet katsu was indeed tender and delicious, but it had a less juicy and oily taste that may appeal to everyone. I reaffirmed that I prefer loin. The noodles were slightly thin and had a texture from being cooked on a hot plate, which I liked. The meat sauce was not bad, but it had a strong acidity that was slightly different from my preference. Perhaps it would go better with the Napoli-tan (+100 yen). The cost performance was reasonable, as there was a decent amount of katsu (probably around 80g). Overall, it's a delicious tonkatsu restaurant that appeals to everyone, but it slightly deviated from my personal preferences for tonkatsu and spa katsu. Next time, I will go for the loin again.

Today, I went to Mishina for lunch around 1 o'clock and was able to get a table quickly as it was about 70% full. It's a popular place! You order through a touch panel and the food arrived in about 10 minutes. I had the hirekatsu and rosukatsu set. The rosukatsu was tender, juicy, and delicious! Whether with sauce or just a sprinkle of salt, the meat was sweet, tender, and I was able to easily finish the 250g portion. The hirekatsu was also tender and tasty, but a bit thin. I usually have katsuspa or katsucurry, but maybe eating delicious meat as it is, without any extras, is the best way to enjoy it? The interior of the restaurant is clean and spacious, creating a calm atmosphere. The payment is also done through self-checkout, showing the advancement of automation.

I went there for the first time since they moved, and it was really good. I was always curious because there were always a lot of cars parked along the national highway, but I finally went at noon. It's a beautiful restaurant with a wide variety of menu options. I had the rib loin tonkatsu set meal, and it was very delicious. I noticed that many people were eating the katsu spa, so I would like to try it next time.

The weekend is a popular restaurant with a full parking lot. It gets crowded suddenly after noon even on weekdays, so it's recommended to visit early. The new store is bright and clean like a trendy cafe, and it's bustling even at night. I ordered the pork cutlet set C, which cost around 1200 yen... I forgot the exact amount, sorry. It came with 2 cutlets, but the portion was on the smaller side. They use pork from Hokkaido that is not frozen, and I never noticed any strong smell. The preparation of the meat is meticulous, with all the membranes removed. They fry it in rice oil until it's crispy. If they stop frying a bit earlier, the softness of the fresh breadcrumbs might stand out more. The highlight here is the original sauce and dressing. They have different sauces for tonkatsu and chicken/ shrimp fry. The chicken/shrimp sauce is spicy to complement the mild ingredients, while the tonkatsu sauce is milder. They also sell them for takeout by the register. I always hesitate whether to buy them or not (laughs). In the middle of the table seating, there are big pots of sauce and dressing placed, and I tend to pour too much because I'm stingy (laughs). I used to just use sauce and lemon, but a friend recommended trying it with rock salt during lunch, and it was delicious! It enhances the fragrance of the pork meat.

It's been a while since I visited Misen. I had the hirekatsu. I arrived at 20:00 and there was zero waiting time. The next customer who came in after me had to wait for a table to be cleared. It's still as busy as ever here. The shop is new and spacious now, with touch panel ordering, but the sauce is still delicious as always! Thank you for the meal!

Tonkatsu Mishina 2023.01.16 What I can do now is to support at least the food and beverage industry while being very cautious. Let's all do our best and support each other. Today, I visited a long-established tonkatsu restaurant in Tokachi, where I used to frequent, which has been renovated. The new name is "Tonkatsu no Mishina." They offer takeout as well. The location is along National Route 38 in Gokei, Shimizu-cho. The exterior is clean and spacious, with a white-walled single-story building. Inside, there are 7 counter seats, 8 tables for 4 people, and 3 tables for 6 people. The touch panel ordering system is now in place, so you can't make unreasonable requests anymore (laughs). I have tried almost everything on the menu except for udon and new items, but my personal favorite is the Ginger Pork Set Meal B for 1,780 yen (tax included). It consists of fatty pork loin with plenty of green onions and a sweet and savory ginger sauce sprinkled with flour, which pairs perfectly with the rice. The meat from this long-standing tonkatsu restaurant run by three generations of a family is tender and very delicious. Next time, I will come to try the katsu sandwich. Today, the beautiful mama even waved goodbye with a smile (laughs). Thank you for the meal. Tonkatsu Mishina offers takeout. Business hours are from 11:00 to 21:00 (last order at 20:30), and they are closed on Wednesdays. 2023.02.29 (Meat Day) Added photo: Rosu Katsu Don for 1,280 yen (tax included).

The planned soba restaurant was not open... What now? My husband suggested Tonkatsu no Mise, which we had to give up on before due to it being too crowded. But today is a weekday, so maybe we can go? It was close to 1:00 PM and the restaurant was a bit full, but we were lucky to get a seat. I had the Rosu Katsu set meal with 150g for 1480 yen, and it came with a small side dish of sweet potato, carrot, and chicken. The meat seemed a bit overcooked to me. I usually prefer the tonkatsu from another restaurant. My husband had the half-size Katsudon for 1180 yen. He likes it when it's very saucy, but this was too much sauce, making it hard to finish without a spoon. Looking around, it seems like the Katsu Meat Spaghetti is popular. Maybe our high expectations made the disappointment even worse?

The restaurant was extremely clean and didn't feel like a tonkatsu place at all. I ordered the Rugby Curry, which is said to be three times the size of a regular katsu curry. The taste of the curry is as delicious as Ind**an's. If you go to Obihiro, be sure to visit Ind**an! Give it a try.

We went together and had the pork cutlet and shrimp fry set meal. The meat sauce was plentiful and the taste was just right, not too light or too strong. The tonkatsu sauce was delicious as well as the sesame dressing. It was delicious, filling, and worth the price. The new store is clean and well-maintained. The staff, even though young, were polite. It's a place I would definitely visit again, but they mainly offer hearty dishes, so it's best to go when you have time and your stomach is feeling good. If you happen to pass by, you might find yourself stopping by this restaurant. I will definitely go again.

I came here for the pork cutlet curry, but when I saw the menu on the touch panel, it had a ranking list and the number one was the pork cutlet set meal. I was torn between choices but decided to stick with my initial choice! I ordered the pork cutlet curry (1180 yen) and it was delicious with juicy pork cutlet with just the right amount of fat. The curry was not as spicy as it looked, and the meat was tender and flavorful. I slightly regret not asking for extra toppings, but overall, it was a great meal. The restaurant has a modern and bright interior, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I would love to try the set meal next time I visit. It would be nice if the touch panel suggested adding extra pork cutlet toppings to the curry. Overall, it's a great place with a mix of traditional and modern elements.

I visited for lunch. I was on a business trip to Shimizu-cho. I came back here because I had a delicious meal last time. I was debating whether to get tonkatsu, but this time I ordered the "Katsu Spa (fillet cutlet)" in a "large portion". It arrives sizzling hot on a hot plate! The large portion is very generous ♫ It tastes delicious with a little Tabasco sauce. Katsu Spa is delicious no matter where you eat it!! If I have another business trip, I would like to come back. Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

28/08/22 For lunch during my business trip, I had the "Hire Katsu Curry (Half) for 1080 yen." This is my third solo business trip spent in my hometown. My younger brother who lives in the city occasionally reaches out to me. "Hey, big bro, there's a delicious Katsu curry in Shimizu Town. Let's go together if you want." Wait, is that "Mishina" by any chance? I'm in! This place is a long-established tonkatsu restaurant with over 50 years of history. The new store that opened in April is very clean. It's rare to find a tonkatsu restaurant with a terrace seat, probably only here. The touch panel displays a variety of menu items. But we decided on the Hire Katsu Curry without hesitation! Um, how much is the "Half" portion? "Our original serving size is already larger than other restaurants, so many people are satisfied with the half portion." We are at an age where we worry about indigestion after eating. So, we chose the half portion without hesitation ^^; Wow! This Katsu curry is incredibly delicious!! The Hire Katsu fried in Hokkaido rice oil is super juicy. It's not greasy, and has a crispy and rich flavor. The standout feature is the curry roux. The balance of spiciness and umami is just right, understanding that the Katsu is the star. That's why the deliciousness of the Katsu is multiplied several times. I eagerly continue eating. Oh, it's so satisfying♪ "This place is really delicious." My brother also seemed to thoroughly enjoy his meal after a long time. Now, I'm curious about the Rosu Katsu. Of course, I'll have to try it soon. Cheers to the next visit(^^)/

On the way back from Asahikawa to Obihiro, I stopped for lunch in Shimizu. There was a pretty crowded restaurant along Route 38. It seems to be popular. I ordered a pork bowl at a tonkatsu restaurant and it arrived in about 12 minutes. Huh? Did I accidentally order a large portion? The amount is so much. People ordering should be aware, it's a tonkatsu restaurant, so the meat quality is guaranteed. The sauce is on the sweet side, but the burnt flavor is exquisite. But the amount is amazing.
