Keeping a Tradition for Half a Century

Yabaton has been very particular about ingredients they use since its opening. Especially the main ingredient, pork, is premium pork from southern Kyushu. Many other restaurants pound their meat to tenderize it, but the pork at Yabaton is very tender as it is. The pork is juicy and flavorful as well.

Impressive Special Menu

Yabaton's signature Waraji Tonkatsu Teishoku (1,600 yen) is highly recommended. They use twice the amount of pork loin than found in their regular dishes for this hearty meal. It is perfect for someone who wants a large portion of miso katsu. It is topped with two kinds of sauce, miso and tonkatsu sauce.

A Popular Regular Dish Since the Beginning

Misokatsudon Teishoku (1,200 yen) is one of their popular dishes. The crispy and juicy pork loin cutlet dressed with sweet miso sauce is placed on top of rice. Most of the miso sauce in Nagoya is rich and thick, but Yabaton's is mild and smooth.
