The hirekatsu 1.5 times set meal costs 1300 yen. I visited around 20:20 on a weekday. The restaurant has only 14 counter seats and is cozy. There were 7 customers before me. They offer various set meals like rosukatsu, menchikatsu, ebi katsu, and hirekatsu, as well as side dishes like potato salad and nametake oroshi. I ordered the hirekatsu 1.5 times set meal. It was served in about 10 minutes. The hirekatsu came with cabbage, rice, miso soup, and pickles. The hirekatsu had a crispy texture with coarse breadcrumbs. The meat was thick, tender, and had a nice bounce, with a satisfying crunch. The sweet and savory sauce enhanced the flavor of the meat. Considering the price of 1300 yen, I think it's a great deal.

Visited at 8:00 PM. I sat at the counter and ordered the Hire Mix Katsu (pork, shrimp, horse mackerel) set meal. The restaurant has only about 15 counter seats. The background music is the sound of katsu being fried. It was served in about 10 minutes. It was quite filling, so I'm glad I didn't order the extra-large portion. There was a generous amount of cabbage, which I appreciated. The pork was tender and crispy. The horse mackerel fry was slightly thick, but delicious without any fishy taste. I thought the shrimp katsu would be shrimp fry, but it was actually a cream croquette with a large shrimp inside. It was different from what I imagined, but it was very tasty. I thought it was a very cost-effective restaurant for a meal in Tokyo. There are various menu options, and I would like to come back again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

With this, it's still the best value for 750 yen. The white rice is delicious, and the clams with miso are also satisfying. I like to eat it with salt, Japanese hot mustard and soy sauce, and then switch back to salt. This time, my neighbor was eating it with ponzu sauce, so I want to try that next time.

Tonkatsu Maruya Shinbashi Ekimae Honten 750-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pork cutlet set meal for 750 yen. It's been a while since I had tonkatsu. Lucky to get in with just a one-person wait. Looks like they raised the price by 50 yen since yesterday. Still a great deal. The cutlet is crispy and delicious. The fatty part is sweet and tasty. Maruya's miso soup with clams is a nice touch. Feeling fortunate.

Friday evening, when I left the office, it was raining outside. Due to the high humidity, I decided to choose a restaurant where I could go without using an umbrella for dinner. I ended up choosing this restaurant, which I hadn't visited in about two years. I arrived around 6 o'clock, and the place was already packed with many customers. The only available seats were at the counter facing the wall, so I sat there. However, even that seat was quickly filled up after I arrived... The popularity of the place hasn't diminished! I ordered the "Special Rosu Katsu Set" that I had tried before. It was a "limited" item that seemed like a good deal. It took about 15 minutes to arrive, probably due to the crowd. At first glance, it looked the same as before... but when I took a piece with my chopsticks, something felt different. In the past, you could see that a lot of egg was used to bind the breadcrumbs, as the egg would turn yellow, but this time it was missing... The breadcrumbs easily peeled off. The crispy texture had changed to a crunchy one when I took a bite... The amount of meat was the same, but I felt like it was tastier before... I don't think they lowered the quality of the meat, but... I was quite hungry that day, but I didn't feel as satisfied as before... The rice and miso soup were the same as before... but refills were no longer free. However, the rice was still free for upsizing, so I went for it. But I feel like the rice was tastier before, maybe I'm just being too picky? I ordered a large serving of rice, so I was full after finishing it, but in terms of satisfaction, it was a bit iffy, as mentioned earlier. In a time when prices are increasing everywhere, I respect their decision not to reduce the portion size or raise prices. However, if adjustments are made that make the taste seem to have declined... Also, considering the weather that day, I wish they had adjusted the air conditioning a bit... Frying food in the humid heat makes it lose half its deliciousness... Thank you for the meal.

I have been restricting my calorie intake recently, so I haven't been able to eat tonkatsu for a while. However, I felt like having tonkatsu in Shinbashi, so I visited a restaurant. When I arrived a little after 11 o'clock, there was a small line. I thought I might have to wait for the second round, but surprisingly, the opening was delayed, so I was able to get in on the first round. Lucky me. I ordered the special rosukatsu set for 1000 yen. After a short wait, it was served to me. The tonkatsu, which always looks big, was truly wonderful. This time, I felt like the breading was a bit hard, but for 1000 yen, the taste was fantastic. I want to visit this restaurant again. I have a video on YouTube. Please subscribe to my channel. https://youtu.be/day16EZUJCY https://youtube.com/@bunzo64

I visited in the early evening on a regular day and was able to get in smoothly. I ordered the Hire Katsu set meal for 1000 yen. The breading is made with special bread crumbs, giving it a crunchy texture with a hint of bread flavor. The meat is moist with no fatty parts, and the umami of the lean meat is the highlight of this dish. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

The pork cutlet set meal has good value for money. I arrived just before 12 noon on a weekday, so I was able to avoid the long line. It gets really crowded during lunchtime. Lately, I've been coming here quite often depending on my transfer time at Shinbashi Station. There seem to be other branches as well. This main branch is a bit tricky to access from the ground level Uomori exit of Shinbashi Station, so it's faster to go from underground. You can get a free extra serving of rice. They provide condiments like mustard, sauce, soy sauce, and salt on the table, but the salt is delicious. I'll attach a photo of the exterior this time, but surprisingly, there is a vending machine for pork cutlet sandwiches outside the store. It would be nice to eat that while catching a Shinkansen. Next time, I want to try the minced meat cutlet.

During work, I came to Shinbashi for a lunch break and had tonkatsu. I have had Maruya's katsudon a few times, but there was a famous tonkatsu restaurant in the back. The standard hirekatsu set meal for 700 yen with free extra rice filled me up! Great cost performance! I will definitely come back again!

Tonkatsu Maruya Shinbashi Ekimae Honten in Shinbashi, known for being selected as one of the top 100 tonkatsu restaurants on Tabelog for 4 consecutive years, offers a delicious loin cutlet set meal for ¥700. This popular spot, loved by salarymen, is the main store of Maruya Japan, located in Shinbashi Ekimae Building 1. Despite being a renowned establishment, the price of ¥700 for a set meal is surprisingly affordable. The crispy golden batter and lean meat of the loin cutlet are appealing to those who prefer a thinner cutlet. The sauce, slightly sweet, pairs well with the tangy mustard. The freshly cut cabbage is crunchy and delicious on its own. The miso soup, served with red miso, is flavorful. Overall, the meal was satisfying and I look forward to exploring more tonkatsu restaurants in the future.

I arrived at Tonkatsu Maruya in front of Shinbashi Station Building 1, a little before 11 o'clock on a Saturday. Despite it being a weekend, there was a line of two people connected, and I waited for about 5 minutes until it opened. I sat at the counter seat and placed my order verbally. I ordered the limited Thick-cut Pork Cutlet set meal with ponzu and grated daikon. After about 10 minutes, the Thick-cut Pork Cutlet set meal arrived. I started by pouring sauce on the cabbage and the pork cutlet and adding plenty of ponzu and grated daikon. The end part had more fat, but it was refreshing and delicious. Next, I added plenty of sauce and mustard to the pork cutlet, ate the rice vigorously, ate the cabbage, had a second serving of rice, and finished with salt, which was also good. I enjoyed it until the end.

I had always given up because it was always so crowded, but by chance I arrived late for lunch and there were only 3 groups ahead of me, so I finally got to try it! I was still undecided when I was asked for my order while waiting in line, but I ended up choosing the special loin cutlet. When I was seated inside the restaurant, my meal arrived shortly after. Everyone was silently focused on their tonkatsu in front of them, probably because it was lunchtime. The crispy batter and the perfectly fatty loin were truly amazing. The miso soup was also great. I felt satisfied and a bit guilty after finishing my meal. It gave me the energy to tackle the rest of my work in the afternoon. And to think, the special loin cutlet was only 1000 yen! What a great value.

Tonkatsu Maruya, operated by Maruya Japan, aims to be the "number one tonkatsu restaurant in Japan." With 19 locations in office districts, including the Shinbashi Station area with the Shinbashi Station Front Main Store, Shinbashi Karasumiguchi Store, Yurakucho Store, and Hamamatsucho Store. During lunchtime, there is always a line, but the service is quick once you order. I recommend the Special Rosu Katsu Set for 1,000 yen. Despite the rise in ingredient prices, extra rice and miso soup come at an additional cost, but you can get a free large rice portion. The set includes tonkatsu, red miso soup, rice, and pickled radish. The tonkatsu has a crispy texture, with a juicy and flavorful pork loin cutlet coated in coarse breadcrumbs. The Special Rosu Katsu provides great value and is highly recommended. Enjoyed the meal!

Just after 11 am, I spotted a tonkatsu restaurant at the entrance of the Yurikamome Side Shimbashi Station Building. They offered a pork cutlet set meal for ¥750. The place was already a few customers inside, so I decided to give it a try. I sat at the counter and ordered the pork cutlet set meal. I forgot to ask for a large portion, but it came with miso soup, pickles, and sauce. It was affordable and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant around 18:30 on a regular day. I ordered the shrimp fry set meal for ¥1,000, which came with tartar sauce. The set included four large shrimp fries, making it a good deal compared to tonkatsu restaurants in Tokyo. Next time, I will try the minced cutlet set meal.

"Rosukatsu Teishoku (Pork Cutlet Set Meal) for ¥700. It is not an exaggeration to say that Maruya is a place where salarymen gather. With several branches located mainly in Chiyoda and Minato wards, this place offers lunch and even bento at such affordable prices. The restaurant itself is not particularly clean or fancy. The pork cutlet is lean with minimal fat, but the meat is tough and dry. However, when freshly fried, it is delicious. The set meal comes with roughly shredded cabbage, daikon radish with yuzu flavor, miso soup with clams, rice, and the usual condiments like tonkatsu sauce, salt, mustard, soy sauce, and seafood sauce. I remember enjoying salt seasoning at a different restaurant before, but the salt here is not as good, a bit too salty. Different restaurants may have different tastes or maybe they have adjusted the seasoning. Nevertheless, at this price point, one should not expect too much. Behind the counter, a sign reads 'Eat pork cutlet to win at life!!' - continuing to support salarymen in the future!"

You can get cheap and delicious tonkatsu here, but ever since the free rice and miso soup refills ended, I haven't been back. However, the option for extra rice at the same price makes it a satisfying place to eat. There are many tonkatsu restaurants in Shinbashi and Ginza, such as Matsumoto and Katsuya, which offer reasonable prices and delicious food with tonjiru (pork miso soup) on the side.

Thursday, 8:30 PM. I recently started stopping by the Shinbashi Ekimae Building. Every shop looks delicious and it's fun just to look around. I was planning to visit "Biriken" for their oil soba on the first floor of the new building, but it was already closed. As I was about to leave, I noticed this restaurant. They are open until 10:00 PM on weekdays (last order at 9:00 PM). Whenever I passed by Shinbashi Station, I could smell the delicious tonkatsu from outside this place. So, I decided to go in. Luckily, the restaurant was not crowded, so I sat at the counter. Since it was my first time, I ordered the cost-effective Rosukatsu set meal. Many other customers around me ordered more expensive options like the Mix set over 1,000 yen. The meal arrived in about 10 minutes. The Rosukatsu set meal for 700 yen was huge when it was brought to me. I thought, "Wow, this is amazing." I ate it with the sauce and mustard. It reminded me of the nostalgic tonkatsu. The meat was juicy and not tough at all. The breading was crispy. The fat was also delicious. I might love it enough to eat it every day. The cabbage was a bit firm. The rice was also delicious. The miso soup had a red miso base with a hint of clam broth. It was so good for 700 yen. Personally, I would consider this place as a top-notch restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant around 6 pm on a regular day. I ordered the pork cutlet set meal (700 yen) and after about 5 minutes, a freshly fried dish was served. The meat was tender, and the red miso soup with clams was delicious. The affordable price range is also attractive for salarymen in Shinbashi.

I visited the tonkatsu restaurant "Maruya Shinbashi Ekimae Honten" located on the 1st floor of the Shinbashi Ekimae Building No. 1 after a few years. The restaurant in Kagurazaka where Atago Shrine is located was still under preparation, so I visited Atago Shrine to receive a special seal for Setsubun before walking to Shinbashi. After stopping by Uomori Shrine, I arrived at "Maruya" at 11:30. There were already 5 customers inside, and more customers kept coming in, filling up the small restaurant with a counter seating for 15 people. This place is a popular restaurant, listed as one of the top 100 tonkatsu restaurants in 2017, 2019, and 2021. I ordered the Hirekatsu Teishoku for 700 yen. The rice can be served in a large portion for free. The table condiments include tonkatsu sauce, seafood fry sauce, salt, mustard, and soy sauce. The Hirekatsu Teishoku was served in about 5 minutes. It came with a generous portion of tonkatsu and cabbage, with a mountain of rice. The miso soup was made with clams, and the pickles were daikon radish. The thickness of the tonkatsu was similar to that of "Katsuya" for the price of 700 yen. It was delicious with the sweet tonkatsu sauce and mustard. The large portion of rice disappeared quickly. This restaurant mainly targets salarymen but also has many female customers. It was a tasty meal. "Maruya" has a total of 20 branches including the Shinbashi main store, located in Yurakucho, Marunouchi, Otemachi, Nihonbashi, Hibiya, Aoyama, and other areas.
