The stylish and relaxing interior is like a cafe⭐️
The pork cutlet is fried in a "two-layer" style, once at low temperature and twice at high temperature, resulting in a crispy batter and juicy inside. It has a juicy texture😋

They use branded meats such as "Hiramachi Sangen Mochi Pork", "Kinako Pork", and "The Legendary Kinka Pork" under direct contract.
The small bowls served on the side, made with seasonal ingredients from Oita Prefecture, and the homemade carrot dressing are sure to tickle your fancy♪
