Jumonjiya

Jumonjiya is a dining spot in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, where you can enjoy Aizu’s local specialty sauce katsudon and ramen. Its katsudon, topped with oversized cutlets that extend far beyond the bowl and coated in a special sauce, is known for both its volume and flavor.

The signature dish is the “Bandai Katsudon,” made with a thick-cut pork cutlet weighing Approx. 450g. Its sheer size is impressive enough to be compared to majestic Mt. Bandai. The crispy fried cutlet is topped with a sweet and savory original sauce, then served with cabbage and rice for a hearty meal. Another local favorite is the “Jumonji Ramen,” served in a suribachi bowl. It features thick, curly Aizu noodles and a generous gomoku vegetable sauce, with a choice of soy sauce or miso flavor. The menu also includes a wide variety of options such as Kitakata ramen, gyoza, and curry.

The restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk from Aizu Jibo Daikannon. With up to Approx. 130 seats, it offers a spacious, open setting for a relaxed meal. Parking is also available, making it easy for groups to visit. Katsudon dishes and gyoza are also available for takeout.
