Gunma Prefecture's Numata City has been a thriving area for the pig farming industry for a long time. The high-quality pork raised in this bountiful natural environment is a local specialty that the community takes pride in. The restaurant "Tonkatsu TOMITA" brings out the deliciousness of Numata pork to its fullest. Its distinctive tonkatsu has attracted many food enthusiasts and tourists, making it a popular spot that often sees long lines during lunch hours. The specialty of TOMITA's tonkatsu is its large size, thick cut, and juicy meat. The crispy, fragrant breading pairs perfectly with the tender and firm pork. With just one bite, the fresh and savory juices burst in your mouth, leaving the unique flavor of Numata pork lingering on your palate. In addition to Numata pork, this local gem also uses various regional ingredients, showcasing the charm of Numata cuisine through exquisite culinary skills. The restaurant's signature menu item is the "Sanada Tonkatsu Set," which allows diners to enjoy both the tonkatsu and the local delicacy "Edamame Menchi" (えだまメンチ). Additionally, the restaurant's windows overlook a terraced riverbank, providing a serene and picturesque countryside view. Guests can enjoy a delightful dining experience while taking in the tranquil scenery.

The restaurant is located on a street locally known as "Pork Cutlet Street." All ingredients and seasonings are handmade by the restaurant, including the breadcrumbs for the fried pork cutlet, sauces, pickles, and miso. The thick-cut pork chops take some time to fry, so while waiting for the delicious food to be served, it's recommended to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. It is suggested to choose a tatami seating area, where you can take in the view of the riverside steps from the large window. The restaurant has 120 seats and can accommodate group travelers.
