Restaurant highlights |
Our specialty is the "Toro Toro Katsu," featuring thick cuts of pork belly that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. |
Located in a quiet back alley near Asakusabashi Station, this tonkatsu restaurant was established in 1987 after operating as a butcher shop since the early Showa period. Having recently relocated, the current establishment boasts a new and clean yet small and simple interior. There are counter seats for solo diners, small tables for two, and an additional tatami room with about ten seats in the back. You can enjoy their signature "Toro Toro Katsu," alongside the reliably delicious loin and fillet cuts, as well as chicken and minced meat options served as set meals. While there's also a branch in front of Akihabara Station, this main store offers the renowned Tokyo brand pork "TOKYO X" in their tonkatsu. ● TOKYO X Loin Cutlet Set Meal 200g (JPY 1,900, tax included) TOKYO X pork, developed for both safety and quality, features a tender texture with just the right amount of marbling. The meat is so tender that you can slice it with chopsticks, offering a satisfying bite along with a gentle umami flavor. The fat is well-distributed, providing a delicious sweetness that spreads in your mouth. The coating is crispy and flavorful, standing up well against the table sauces and Worcestershire sauce. ● Pork Toro Toro Katsu 2 pieces (JPY 1,100, tax included) This dish is created by simmering thick belly pork overnight until it becomes tender, then frying it in lard to achieve a juicy, almost "melting" texture. It's reminiscent of pork kakuni, and when you bite into it, the meat fibers fall apart, resulting in a wonderfully soft texture. The fatty portions harmonize perfectly with the accompanying ponzu sauce, enhancing the overall flavor. The demi-glace sauce drizzled on one side also adds a nice taste. Although the Toro Toro Katsu is delicious as a variation, those seeking a traditional tonkatsu may find it a bit unusual. For that reason, I would recommend the classic loin cutlet instead. Rice and cabbage can be upgraded to a large portion for free when ordering in advance, but additional requests later will incur a charge. Given the generous portions of meat and moderate fat, a regular-size serving is likely sufficient, while large sizes may be too much to finish. Even when full, there’s a pleasant aftertaste, with a feeling of "heavy stomach but light digestion" that remains, thanks to the overall quality of the lard and ingredients. The service was attentive, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.
