Taking the Shinkansen to Enjoy Delicious Tonkatsu

This journey involves taking the Shinkansen from Hakata Station to Kumamoto City to savor the tonkatsu at Katsuretsu Tei Shinshigai, a popular spot among food enthusiasts. Due to its popularity, there is usually a queue, but the restaurant manages it very well, so the wait time is short. The tonkatsu here comes in both pork and beef varieties, served with perfectly cooked rice, fragrant soup, and a variety of side dishes that can be refilled. We ordered the pork tonkatsu, which was excellently fried—crispy, tender, and not greasy at all. It’s a dish we absolutely loved. 🕰️ Operating hours: Daily 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM 📍 Address: 8-18 Shinshigai, Chuo Ward, Kumamoto, 860-0803 💰 Average price per person: 2,000 - 3,000 JPY
