Kyoto tonkatsu pork cutlet well-known store No,2

Introduction

Aged Pork Kawamura

Kawamura is located a five-minute walk from Yamashina Station in Kyoto.

It is a station that I don’t usually get off at by train, and from Osaka, it is a bit of a hurdle to get to… but despite this, I find myself wanting to go to Yamashina just to eat tonkatsu.
Nevertheless, it is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to go to Yamashina just to eat tonkatsu.

Personally, I have to visit at least once a month or else I get withdrawal symptoms… I have been going there so much that I have withdrawal symptoms if I don’t visit at least once a month….

It goes without saying that Tonkatsu is one of the top 100 tonkatsu restaurants in Japan, and has been selected as a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant every year!
I have the impression that the ratio of customers is about 50/50 with foreign tourists.

The most attractive point of Kawamura’s tonkatsu is that both the fat and lean meat are well balanced and cooked to perfection.
If you focus on one or the other, you may find that one is undercooked and vice versa, but the fact that both are fried to the best condition is what makes it a masterpiece of deep frying!

In addition, the batter is perfectly coated on the meat, giving it a light texture of [crispy x fluffy].
You can feel the flavor of the fried oil moderately, but you do not feel the heaviness, so you will be impressed anytime you eat it.
