Direct preparation by hand is the hallmark of the cutlets served near the Haemi Eupseong Fortress entrance. Located in Haemi-myeon, Seosan, Kim Chu-il Handmade Tonkatsu serves as a frequent stop for tourists visiting the historical site. Each cutlet features a crispy exterior and moist interior, catering to guests of all ages. Fresh ingredients maintain a quality that attracts visitors from distant cities. The cheese tonkatsu comes packed with savory cheese, making it a hit with families. An assorted set combines tonkatsu with a thick, soft tteokgalbi patty that remains juicy. Before the main course, a mushroom soup with visible mushroom pieces is served. Diners choose between two different sauces based on preference. Buckwheat soba with its rich broth balances the fried dishes, while the mild udon suits younger guests. Portions are generous, and the children's tonkatsu is sized appropriately for smaller appetites. Since lines often form during weekend and holiday lunches, arriving early facilitates a more relaxed meal.
