Shitamiya Main Store
The best known sauced pork cutlet bowl in Kiryu City is this Shitamiya main branch.
It has a long history among the many sauced pork cutlet bowl restaurants in the city, and is said to be probably the original.
The exterior of the restaurant is covered entirely with yellow walls, giving it a very conspicuous appearance.
The restaurant has both table seating and tatami matted floor seating, creating the atmosphere of a relaxed Japanese restaurant.
There are two types of Shitamiya's sauced pork cutlet bowls, one of which is the normal version made with pork fillet.
Here is what we would like to introduce this time.
This is a very popular menu item that many visitors to Shitamiya order.
The sweet and spicy sauce, inspired by "eel sauce," is unique to this restaurant and is truly one-of-a-kind.
The thick fillet is packed with volume and umami, making it a substantial and satisfying meal.
The meat is available in four-piece or six-piece packages.
If you prefer the more abrasive taste, there is also the Sauce Katsu-don (roasted pork cutlet).
Large portions can be ordered with an additional 100 yen for each type (as of May 2023).

Fujiya Restaurant
It is a restaurant that shares popularity with the previously mentioned Shitamiya.
Often there is a line at lunch time.
If possible, it is smoother to make an appointment before visiting.
If you do not have a reservation, try to avoid the "middle of lunchtime" and go around the opening time of 11:00.
The restaurant has both table seating and small tatami matted seats.
Fujiya Shokudo's sauced pork cutlet bowl has a crispy texture.
The meat is thick enough to be satisfying, but soft enough to be chewed through the teeth.
The sauce is slightly sweet but not overpoweringly so, and the flavors are in excellent balance with the rice.
The rice soaked slowly in this sauce is very tasty.
We encourage you to try a bite with just the sauce and rice.
The "Sauce Katsudon "made with pork thigh is somewhat more reasonable and is also recommended.

Fujiya Honten
Sorry for the complicated introduction.
Even though they share the same name, Fujiya is not a diner, but an udon store.
Management is also completely different.
Here, you can also taste one of Kiryu's specialties, "string noodles.
Enjoy this gourmet dish, in which the wide noodles create an interesting texture, with a bowl of sauced pork cutlet rice.
There are many kinds of local sake available for those who do not drive.
The restaurant has table seating and a counter, making it easy to come in alone.
If you eat at Fujiya Shokudo, we recommend the set menu that allows you to taste two major Kiryu gourmet dishes together.
This time, we will introduce a miniature sauced pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice.
Even though it is a mini bowl, it is by no means a short dish.
Two thin, large, crispy cutlets are on top, and they are a satisfying meal.
The sauce tastes sweet and relatively crisp.
This is followed by a salad and a small dessert.
Don't forget to order your set of udon noodles with an extra 100 yen "string kawa ".
"If you prefer not to use string noodles ", you can of course use regular udon noodles.

Hayabusa Restaurant
The restaurant has the atmosphere of an old-fashioned diner.
"Watarase Keikoku Kudo Mizunuma-sui (Watarase ravine railroad) is located close to Mizunuma station ( ") and is visited by many tourists.
Since it is often crowded during lunch time on holidays, choosing a slightly earlier or later time will be smoother.
The restaurant has a homey atmosphere, with table seating, counter seating, and wooden floor seating.
As mentioned in the introduction, there is no "rule" of spreading cabbage on rice in Kiryu City's sauced pork cutlet bowl.
Most of the sauced pork cutlet bowls served in the city are served without cabbage, and those with cabbage, such as those at Hayabusa Shokudo, seem to be a rarity.
It is refreshing to eat meat and rice with finely shredded cabbage, and can be enjoyed as a chopstick rest.
The cutlets are made from pork fillet and are four large, rather thin pieces.
The sauce tastes sweet and harmonious with the cutlets.
The rice is also served in generous portions and is hearty.
This "heaping up" is characteristic.
A special set menu that includes a bowl of sauced pork cutlet rice topped with half udon or half ramen is also available.

Seats are relatively spaced apart, allowing for comfortable seating.
There are tables, counter seats and small wooden flooring seats.
Sauce katsudon at Ipponkiya has a spicy sauce flavor.
It is not without sweetness, but it is not front and center and is moderate.
Recommended for those who prefer a more salty-sweet flavor.
The sauce, which is well-dipped in the meat, has a dark appearance, but it is not a harsh type of sauce, but a balance that enhances the overall flavor.
The volume of the dish is four pieces of meat of moderate thickness and plenty of rice.
The variety includes loin as well as filet, and the price is the same.
In this case, we recommended the tender filet, but you can use your own choice.
