Neighborhood Haunt: Junpei

 

Junpei, just across the dormitories

 

One day, hungry and tired of eating convenience store food, I sent a message to a friend, “Where’s a good place to have dinner tonight?”

He answered, “Junpei.”  Followed by a brief instruction on how to get there, I dragged Samir along with me to a tonkatsu restaurant, small enough to be discreet yet just right across the university dormitories.  Junpei is a rather small place, and can seat only twenty customers at a time.  They prepare meals upon ordering so you’d have to wait a little to get your food.  They specialize in one type of food only: tonkantsu.  Tonkatsu with slices of juicy garlic between the crust and meat, tonkatsu filled with cheese and a crumbly shell, tonkatsu served with freshly grated daikon (radish) on top… bliss!  Being located near the university, the servings are huge, and you can even get up to two servings of rice. Not to mention, the prices are very reasonable.

 

yummy tonkatsu at Junpei!

So the next time you’re hungry for some tonkatsu, seek no further.  Head over and enjoy some of the best tonkatsu in the city for only a few coins from your pocket. Ahhh good!
