I WOULDTRAVELTOJAPANAGAINJUSTFORTHISPLACE. I’ve been in Japan for already over a week and this is by far the best place I’ve eaten since I’ve gotten here, it truly is just AMAZING. There’s only 1 thing on the menu which is just katsu-don, you can choose small medium or large but they’ll all cost 1000 yen. I don’t usually eat that much, if anything I don’t usually finish my food, but this place! I was able to not only finish the medium bowl but also ordered ANOTHER bowl and finished it with no trouble, just because it was THAT good. Follow the directions on Unilocal and turn into a small alley way and it should be on your right, really small but honestly the best food I’ve ever eaten. When I come back to Japan this will always be a must for me to visit, AMAZING.

Zuicho is a place for Katsudon — There’s nothing else on menu at the place so you only go there for Katsudon. What’s different about their Katsudon is thier pork cutlet staying crispy in the dish. Usually, pork cutlet in Katsudon is no longer crispy as it’s boiled with eggs and soup, which some people don’t really like. So, they keep the pork cutlet dry and crispy on purpose for those who really care about it. I’m personally fine either way. Their Dashi soup might be a bit too salty/sweat for some Japanese people, but should actually be appropriate for non-Japanese people, so I’d be pretty comfortable recommending this place to non-Japanese people. Not hesitation. It may even be the best Katsudon you’ve ever had in your life.

This is, without a doubt, the best katsudon I have ever eaten. The difference between the katsudon at the tiny(10 seat) family owned shop in Shibuya from the rest are the steps to create this crispy porky goodness. The egg and pork cutlet are cooked independently, allowing for an ultra crispy pork cutlet adorned on a sweet seasoned omelet. The sauce added last as to not upset the crispiness. There are no choices other than how much rice you would like in your bowl. That’s it. You can opt for a beer or sake, you’ll receive some pickled items and a crystal clear soup to start, then the katsudon. I was with several Japanese friends, all of them raving over how great this katsudon was after we had finished. They were almost completely silent up until then. I think that basically says it all.
