Waraji Katsudon
When you lift the lid, you are greeted by two enormous pieces of cutlet spilling out of the bowl. As large as actual waraji (straw sandals), they are coated in a secret sweet and savory sauce. With a crispy, juicy texture, it offers a satisfying meal experience unique to Chichibu. The origin is said to be 'Yasudaya' in Ogano Town, Chichibu, with roots dating back to the Taisho era. Originally called simply 'Katsudon,' the name changed after a visiting rice merchant remarked that the two large cutlets looked just like waraji sandals. It became widely known through touring riders traveling along Route 219, as word-of-mouth spread about its delicious taste and incredible volume. With two pieces of meat reminiscent of a pair of straw sandals, please come and enjoy this hearty Chichibu specialty.
