Kagoshima Kurobuta Tonkatsu Maruichi
restaurant
黒かつ亭まるいち
Thick-cut heritage black pork tonkatsu from sweet-potato-fed Berkshire pigs, a Kagoshima staple.
Kagoshima's kurobuta (Berkshire black pork) is the prefecture's culinary icon, and this local chain is where residents go for thick-cut tonkatsu from heritage-breed pigs raised on sweet potato feed. The pork is aged, breaded in coarse panko, and fried to a deep golden crust while staying pink at the center. Side dishes include cabbage from Kagoshima fields and a locally made tonkatsu sauce.
