Meijitei Karuizawa Branch

Experience the beloved local dish of Komagane, Nagano Prefecture, "Sauce Katsu-don," at Meijitei, a dining establishment with its main branch in Komagane City and five locations across the prefecture.

Located in the heart of the popular Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, right in front of JR Hokuriku Shinkansen’s Karuizawa Station, this branch is a highlight of the plaza’s gourmet street, "Aji no Machi," catering to shoppers seeking a satisfying meal.

The standout dish is, of course, the Sauce Katsu-don. The restaurant's proprietary sauce, developed over years of customer feedback and painstaking refinement, is the secret to its flavor. This original sauce is crafted from 12 ingredients, slow-cooked to perfection to bring out its rich and deep flavor. Freshly fried cutlets are generously dipped into the sauce and served hot, resulting in a dish that is remarkably light and refreshing on the palate despite its hearty appearance.

Other menu options include local Shinshu specialties like basashi (horse sashimi) and soba noodles, with combo meals available for those who want to sample a variety of tastes.
