    Fukui Pref. Fukuishi Junka 1-7-4
    A famous restaurant visited by fans from far and wide and said to be the originator of sauce katsu-don, a local Fukui Prefecture specialty consisting of breaded pork cutlet soaked in Worcester sauce and served on a bowl of rice. It’s said sauce katsu-don was invented when the owner returned from a trip to Germany and, seeking to popularize the Worcester sauce he encountered there in Japan, created the dish to serve at a food fair in 1913. The shop’s pork cutlets, breaded with small panko bread crumbs, deep fried, and drenched in Worcester sauce, are so juicy and tender they can be cut with chopsticks. Served with several cutlets piled high on a bowl of rice, the shop’s sauce katsu-don is also visually impressive. The nearest station is Fukui Station.

    Came here for my kids as they are fan of fried stuff. In the end, we all enjoyed it. Ordered the set that comes with huge piece of prawn, minced pork and port cutlet. They are lightly coated, crispy...

    Fukui Fukui-shi Junka 1-10-1
    A long-standing curry and coffee shop. They were in the Katamachi area for over 50 years but moved due to renovation of the surrounding buildings. They moved to their current location just a few years ago. They brought much of their interior design including their chandelier and chairs with them from the old location so the inner atmosphere of the shop is unchanged. And of course their menu is still the same allowing you to enjoy their classic slow-stewed western-style curry.
