About this place
There is a genuine comfort in having an unpretentious neighbourhood teishoku diner nearby, whether for an easy lunch or an unfussy dinner on the way home from work. Situated in Kamakura, Katsushika Ward, Takayasu supports the daily routine of local diners with a broad menu spanning fragrant deep-fried cutlets, rice bowls, and comforting yoshoku classics.
The expansive selection of deep-fried set meals immediately draws the eye. Alongside stalwarts like tonkatsu and hirekatsu (pork tenderloin cutlet) teishoku, the mixed fry set offers a satisfying combination of pork cutlet, white fish fry, and crab cream croquette on a single plate. Served alongside finely shredded cabbage, potato salad, piping-hot miso soup, and rice, the freshly fried cutlets carry the reliable, time-tested warmth characteristic of an old downtown diner.
Beyond the deep-fried repertoire, the kitchen prepares grilled fare such as pork sauté and ginger pork teishoku, alongside nostalgic rice dishes including katsu curry, omurice, and katsuju. Bottled beer, draught beer, and shochu highballs are also on hand, making the space just as handy for an early evening meal with a cold drink.
A quiet, easygoing atmosphere pervades the dining room, making it equally comfortable for solo diners looking to eat in peace. Both dine-in and takeaway options are available. Note that payment is strictly cash-only, so it is best to have notes or coins ready when you visit.
