Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstKatsu sando (かつサンド)
Katsu sando, the house's tonkatsu in bread ordered a size smaller, created here by the first okami, the proprietress. Our first order, and a box for later.
From Isen's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

A Yushima tonkatsu house that began as a tatami restaurant in the old geisha quarter. The katsu sando was born here, made small so geisha could eat between engagements, and it's the reason to come.
