All Reviews of Yabaton Yaba-cho Main store

This time I made a special trip to try Yabaton. Around mealtime, I waited in line for a little over an hour. The wait was a bit long, but after eating, I really felt it lived up to its reputation!

The tonkatsu was crispy outside and tender inside, and the pork was soft and juicy without being dry at all. The signature miso katsu is topped with a sauce made from naturally brewed miso. It's savory and rich with a touch of sweetness, and goes perfectly with the piping-hot tonkatsu.

I also tried the cutlet this time. Eating it with plenty of cabbage was refreshing and helped balance the richness. I had the miso katsu with white rice, and mixing the sauce into the rice made it really hard to stop eating!

When you come to Nagoya, you definitely can’t miss the super popular miso katsu spot, Yabaton Yaba-cho Main Store.

Their signature pork cutlet is topped with a special miso sauce that’s rich but not too heavy. It has the aroma of naturally brewed miso and pairs perfectly with the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside cutlet.

I thought the miso sauce would be really salty, but it was actually sweet, smooth, and so easy to keep eating. With white rice, it’s almost dangerously good! If you want to try local Nagoya food, this place absolutely belongs on your must-visit list.
