Itsuya is a walk-in-only, lunch-only tonkatsu tasting counter in Seogyo-dong, run by a Cordon Bleu-trained chef working cuts like tenderloin, sirloin, and pork collar. Queues reportedly form by 8:30am for the 11:10 open, with a same-day list taken in person and no reservations accepted. ChopChop University called the course extreme enough to overwhelm the tongue.
