The original founder of “Yabaton’s Miso Katsu,” Suzuki Yoshio, accidentally discovered how delicious pork cutlet is when paired with miso sauce. He then dedicated himself to developing the perfect miso sauce recipe. In Showa 22 (1947), he opened the first store “Yabaton Tonkatsu” in front of the streetcar stop at 4-chome, Minami-ozu-dori. Soon after, “Yabaton Tonkatsu” became a popular local favorite, and “miso katsu” grew to be a well-known dish. While pouring thick red miso sauce over the pork cutlet is the current mainstream way to enjoy it, the restaurant also preserves the traditional method of dipping the fried pork skewers directly into a miso donabe hot pot, delivering an unforgettable flavor.
