Our friends invited us to lunch at a well known "tonkatsu" restaurant in the Hikashi-ku (Eastern district) of Fukuoka. It was a wonderful lunch. 
Tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlet) is a popular Japanese dish. The set lunch came with miso soup, streamed rice, shredded cabbage and Japanese pickles "tsukemono" (漬物)
This tonkatsu was so crispy with no trace of oil or charred crumbs. I was told that this shop served the finest tonkatsu in Fukuoka. The pork they used was of high quality - "Kurubuta", a rare black breed of pigs from Kagoshima prefecture in Kyushu. The meat inside the "katsu" was soft and tender. It was really good ! 
The combination of tonkatsu and praw-katsu was also on the menu.
