Matsunoya

Diners who return for the pork loin cutlet set meal say they remember its crisp coating and the savoury flavour of the meat in every bite. Another diner has praised the freshness of the cabbage served alongside it. The set comes with rice and miso soup and is listed at 690 yen, with a choice of rice size. For a classic order, try the standard set; for a different flavour, there is a miso-sauce pork loin cutlet set or one served with coarsely grated daikon and ponzu. Both are listed at 790 yen and come with rice and miso soup.

There are also rice bowls for a different way to enjoy pork loin cutlet. The pork loin cutlet bowl and miso pork loin cutlet bowl each come with miso soup and are listed at 690 yen. Choose a set meal with rice on the side, or a bowl that brings the cutlet and rice together, depending on what you feel like eating.

For a different fried main, consider the Japanese-style fried chicken set, served with rice and miso soup and listed with a choice of 5 or 8 pieces. A version with coarsely grated daikon and ponzu is also available. The menu also includes sets combining pork loin cutlet and Japanese-style fried chicken, as well as pork loin cutlet with fried prawns—useful options when choosing just one dish feels difficult.

Breakfast choices include a morning pork loin cutlet set, served until 11:00, as well as a morning sausage and egg set and an egg rice bowl. The morning pork loin cutlet set is listed at 550 yen, with a choice of side dish. The restaurant opens at 6:00, making it an option for an early meal.

Matsunoya Kachidoki serves diners eating in and is described as suitable for solo meals. Reservations are not accepted, so it may be more useful to keep in mind for breakfast, lunch or a late meal than as a place to plan around in advance.
