Going to this restaurant 'Tonkatsu Hinata' took us forever to get to from where we stayed but we had to try this place. I hear it's Michelin rated. We got lost finding this place. This place was so small with only 14 counter bar seats. You would not expect this place to be a popular place by looking at the outside. We arrived at night. I thought it was weird it was located on a dark small street within a residential area, close to Kanda River. It was in an old white brick building but inside was quite nice but tight.

Since there was ten of us, we sat by small groups but eventually we all sat together. The seating is bar style so we got to see the chefs at work. It was fun to see them at work and ask questions. They spoke some English but very friendly people. This restaurant will only fit so many people. So it was good we came on a weekday. I am sure this place has long lines outside but it was close to end of their night, it was not too busy and we got to hang out a little longer than getting kicked out. These restaurants like this, you will have to eat and go; no lingering.

We all basically ordered the Pork Loin which comes with miso soup, rice and cabbage. On the table, there are sauces to choose from for your cutlets. There were two small cups for two different salts which are very good with the pork. Ordered Ashahi beer. One of the chefs gave us a little side pork sauted' soup sampler that went with our beer and that was delicious!!

Why we came here was the chefs or owners - Yuta kimura and Daisuke Masugi specializes in tonkatsu pork. They say it's best eaten this way. The pigs are bought whole from a special farm they special feed organic stuff. Well that is what I saw on YouTube and that is why we had to try it here. All I know is I was very entertained here and the food the good and pork was moist. They specialize in pork and nothing more so don't expect other things. Still, It was worth it!
