Tawara

Tonkatsu Tawara is a specialty restaurant serving tonkatsu in a part of Osaka that tourists do not often visit. Orders come with tonjiru simmered with meat and vegetables instead of miso soup, along with salad, a large bowl of rice, and pasta. On weekday lunches, locals line up before opening, and the side dishes are a buffet that you go through once. The coating is coarse and fatty, leaving a greasy finish.
