Okematsu is a century-old family diner tucked in the historic merchant district of Sawara, Katori, with a calm, traditional dining room featuring horigotatsu (sunken kotatsu) seating and private banquet rooms on the second and third floors. Founded in 1912 during the Taisho era, it has kept its recipes and generous portions consistent for over a hundred years. The kitchen specializes in katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl), tendon (tempura rice bowl), and tonkatsu, alongside classics like oyakodon and curry rice. A short walk from Sawara Station, it draws both locals and visitors exploring the town's preserved Edo-period canal streets.
