Tonkatsu KATSU Hana

Tonkatsu KATSU Hana, located in Osaka's Chuo-ku district, specializes exclusively in tonkatsu since its founding in 2016. The owner and his spouse dedicate themselves to perfecting this fried pork dish, emphasizing freshness and a crisp texture achieved through a unique blend of fresh oil and custom-made breadcrumbs. The restaurant offers a daily rotating selection of domestically sourced brand-name pork, enabling guests to compare various types and experience distinct flavors and aromas. The cooking technique features expert frying followed by a resting period, allowing flavors to fully develop for an exquisite result. Tonkatsu is enjoyed traditionally—first on its own, then with two gourmet salts, and complemented by original homemade sauces and finely chopped cabbage dressed with hand-made onion and shiso dressing. Dishes include brand pork rosu katsu, selectable brand fillet katsu, mix fry sets with shrimp and cream croquette, mini fillet katsu bites, and roasted katsu with cheese and shiso leaf. Premium Fukui Koshihikari rice accompanies the meal. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for its delicious and approachable tonkatsu.
