Nadai Tonkatsu Yachiyo Ajisei

“Nadai Tonkatsu Yachiyo Ajisei” is a long-established Western-style and tonkatsu restaurant founded in 1962. It was selected for the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand in 2019. Its flavors have earned high praise from Japan and abroad, and it has long been loved as a gourmet spot in Nagoya.

The menu centers on cutlet dishes. Each order is breaded and fried only after it is placed, locking in the meat’s savory flavor. The result is crisp and fragrant on the outside, and juicy on the inside. There is a wide variety of choices, including hire katsu, loin katsu, and fried shrimp, oysters, and scallops. The restaurant’s Nagoya specialty miso katsu sauce features a rich flavor made with a secret blend of local Shippo Miso. Its mellow umami pairs perfectly with both the cutlets and rice. Western-style dishes such as hayashi rice and beef tongue stew are also available, letting you enjoy a wide range of flavors in one visit.

The restaurant has 45 seats in total, including table seating, counter seating, and private rooms. It also offers an extensive takeout menu, so you can enjoy the restaurant’s signature tonkatsu at home.
