Known for its pork cutlets with a secret miso sauce, including the famous "Teppan Tonkatsu" and "Waraji Tonkatsu," Yabaton opened a new concept store called "Mukashi no Yabaton" in 2020 near Osu Kannon Temple (Shinpukuji Hoshoin), at the entrance of Osu Kannon-dori Shopping Street. True to its name, this location recreates the original Yabaton of 1947 (Showa 22), with a retro building and a large sign featuring the store's mascot, "Boo-chan."

The menu faithfully reproduces the original offerings from the founding era. The signature "Kushi Katsu," served with miso or sauce, is prepared with a crispier coating, different from the usual Yabaton cutlets. The "Miso Oden" and "Doteni," both simmered in the secret miso sauce, are also exceptional. A variety of side dishes and drinks round out the menu, and the lunch menu offers a wide selection during the day.

Inside, the decor includes Seven Lucky Gods riding a treasure boat and a retro mosaic of Mt. Fuji, reminiscent of a traditional bathhouse. The nostalgic, laid-back atmosphere evokes memories of classic Japanese izakayas, making it an inviting spot for guests of all ages, genders, and nationalities.

    After trying the familiar Yabaton pork cutlets, consider changing things up and visiting Mukashi no Yabaton for a different style of Nagoya cuisine. The menu here is a little different from the usual signature pork cutlets, focusing on dishes such as deep-fried skewers and oden. The skewers are fried until crisp and fragrant, with different ingredients and special sauces that make them crunchy and hard to stop eating. The oden is slowly simmered in broth, allowing the ingredients to absorb the soup for a mellow flavor. The seasoning isn't too heavy, so you can still taste the ingredients themselves. If you've already visited Yabaton, I highly recommend checking out this location too for a different taste of Nagoya's casual local cuisine!

    When you come to Nagoya, of course you have to try Yabaton's classic pork cutlet. The thick cutlet has a crispy coating, while the meat inside remains tender. Just seeing it served piping hot is enough to whet your appetite.

    The most distinctive feature is the generous amount of miso sauce poured over it. The rich red miso has a savory-sweet aroma and adds layers of flavor to the crispy pork cutlet. Eating it with shredded cabbage helps balance out the richness of the miso.

    This was my first time trying Nagoya's famous miso pork cutlet, and it was quite different from a regular pork cutlet. From the cutlet to the miso sauce, everything had a strong local character. After finishing it, I felt like I had checked off one of Nagoya's signature foods.
