Katsukura Umeda Chayamachi Branch

Katsukura’s tonkatsu is a cut above many places: the pork is excellent, and the sauce is homemade. Plus, this restaurant in Umeda serve tasty crab croquettes and chicken cutlets - perfect when not everyone wants to eat the same thing!

Walk 5 minutes from Hankyu Umeda Station to the oddly-named Applause Tower, and venture into the basement. There, you’ll find Katsukura, a tonkatsu restaurant serving up some solidly-executed pork cutlets that’ll satisfy anyone craving this dish. Apparently, they fry their cutlets in zero-cholesterol vegetable oil, which is great if you’re feeling health-conscious on holiday.

A special mention must go to the tonkatsu sauce here. Katsukura’s sauce is made in-house with an original blend of red wine and fruit chutney, and if you’ve eaten tonkatsu before, you’ll appreciate just how much depth of flavour theirs has!

Even if you’re not a fan of porcine meals, there are a number of other options available here. From crab cream croquettes and fried shrimp to chicken and beef cutlets, there’s sure to be something for the non-pork eater. We especially like the yuba (soy milk skin) croquette - it’s hot and creamy without being overly greasy or heavy.

Katsukura might be a chain from Kyoto, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking it out if you’re craving tonkatsu in Osaka. Quality is consistently high across all their branches, and they offer free refills of shredded cabbage, soup, pickles, and tea. Besides, who can argue with a deep-fried pork cutlet? Certainly not us.
