Priced reasonably out of a desire to have more people taste Kagoshima Prefecture kurobuta and

There is the main restaurant close by Kagoshima-Chuo Station,

Those who think "when I come to Kagoshima,
I definitely want to eat Kurobuta," should be sure to visit Kurokatsutei.
Kurokatsutei's pork uses all Kurobuta raised in Kagoshima Prefecture.
You can enjoy its characteristic strengths of powerful flavor, sweet fatty meat, and crisp texture.
This safe and secure Kurobuta, which has been stocked solely from the same
butcher ever since the restaurant's founding,
has its fatty parts adjusted and sinewy parts removed carefully slice
by slice so that it tastes even better when it is made into tonkatsu.
We also do not make any compromises when it comes to the discriminating care
we put into our ingredients to give the tonkatsu an even more delicious finishing.
For our "panko crumbs," which are what determine the tonkatsu's texture,
we use "raw panko crumbs" that do not distract from the crispness of the
Kurobuta and even draw out a great tasting texture from it.
In particular, we enhance the crunchy texture by choosing rough panko crumbs.
A lot of oil gets absorbed when using
Therefore, we use canola oil to evoke a feeling of lightness and are
committed to using a special oil that blends in lard that draws out the pork's flavor.
To make the kurobuta tonkatsu taste even better,
we give lots of painstaking attention not only to the kurobuta, but also to the sauce and rice.
Here too we include the Kagoshima commitment to discriminating quality.
Enjoy it from the first mouthful to the last.
- The sauce that is indispensable for tonkatsu is "black sauce."
A special sweet and spicy sauce with a superb taste using plenty of fruit that was created
through repeated trial and error to create a flavor that suits tonkatsu.
Also try the three condiment varieties of "salt," which allows you to simply taste
the kurobuta's original flavor, red miso, and a "sesame sauce" that is made with sesame seeds and Japanese soup stock.
- Kurokatsutei does not compromise when it comes to either
its main menu item of Kurobuta or any other ingredients.
In particular, we are absolutely committed to our "rice,"
which we cook just the necessary amount of,
ranging from 1-3kg, depending on the day of the week and the time of day,
so that customers can always have "freshly cooked" rice made in Kagoshima Prefecture.
We take great care to serve our customers rice
that has been cooked within 2 hours at the longest.
