A few minutes' walk along the tracks from the East Exit of Kamata Station, Maruyama Shokudo is a downtown eatery founded in 1971 that has long been popular for thick-cut tonkatsu and ginger pork (shogayaki). Its signature dish is the loin katsu made with Chiba's branded Hayashi SPF pork, featuring a light, crispy coating and meat cooked to a tender, slightly pink center. A unique pleasure here is varying the flavor using sauce and three kinds of salt on the counter, including Himalayan rock salt. The ginger pork—with your choice of loin, rib roast, or pork shoulder—and the tender fillet katsu are also popular; all dishes come with thick-cut meat accompanied by cabbage, rice, and miso soup for a satisfying meal. The interior centers on a 16-seat counter surrounding the kitchen, where the lively atmosphere and friendly hospitality of the staff create a welcoming vibe. It is a reliable destination when you want a hearty meal around ¥2,000 for lunch or in the ¥1,000 range for dinner.
