Nustled just slight away from the Naka Meguro River along the main road lies this little Tonkatsu Restaurant. The serve pork from 2 different prefectures, each having their own fat characteristics and flavour. And the signature of the restaurant is the Tomahawk Pork Cutlet. 300g of porky, fatty melt in your mouth of goodness.
The fat bursts the moment you bite into it, making for an insanely messy bite in your mouth. And the Katsu was beautifully fried with little Panko flowers which form on the surface, adding volume to your crunchy experience.
You can enjoy it with their Tonkatsu sauce, Yuzu Kosho, Salt, Shichimi, lemon and Japanese Mustard(Karachi). If you are in the Naka Meguro river waiting to enter the beautiful Starbucks Reserve Roastery which I will post next, you can come here for a bite while chilling and waiting for your turn! You will not be disappointed!! . . . #russcullereats #foodporn #porkcutlet #tonkatsu #nakameguro #instafoodie #foodstagram #tokyofoodie #foodlover...

I tried all the sauces. The sweet, the spicy, the dollop of mustard they put on the side of the plate. I smothered a few bites in the fresh wasabi.
The set includes miso soup, rice, and some radish pickles. The miso soup was so good, with tiny baby clams at the bottom.
Wash it down with a beer.
Don't hesitate. I...
Read moreNice little place that seems to be mostly frequented by locals. The Tonkatsu is juicy and tasty, the staff is nice and you’ll get your order quickly. You can choose how many grams of meat you‘d like to have, starting with 150g to 350 grams, I think.
Complementing your meal you’ll receive a clam soup.
The menu is only available in Japanese and handwritten, so Google Translater can’t read it. The staff speaks mostly Japanese as well, so some Japanese phrases will bring you a long way if you want to visit this restaurant. The restaurant takes only cash payments, but a Seven Eleven is close by.
We liked the local atmosphere, the nice food and the...
