Restaurant name
KATSUYA かつや
Specialty
Katsuya specializes in Katusdon かつ丼. It is a bowl of rice topped with deep-fried breaded pork cutlet, eggs, and Japanese-style broth.
Actually, there are many other chain restaurants that offer Katsudon, but Katsuya offers low price and tasty Katusdon. Here is one of the most recommended shops for eating Katsudon.

This post introduces 4 kinds of different pork dishes that are low in price.
In my opinion.
The Pork Cutlet Bowl (カツ丼 Katsudon) is the best choice among them!
When I tried the dishes I thought the the pork cutlet tasted light and not very succulent, however the restaurant said they only use juicy pork.
Pork Cutlet Bowl (カツ丼 Katsudon) is served with a simmered Japanese-style broth with beaten egg that makes the simple pork cutlet taste better than just pouring normal sauce or curry on it.
