Today, I had a meal at this restaurant. I heard the tonkatsu was really delicious, but every dish was amazing and I was completely satisfied with both the food and the drinks! We started with sashimi and agemono, which were delicious and went well with the drinks. Then we had some fried dishes, all of which were crispy and you could tell they were fried in good oil. The camembert fry and horse mackerel fry were both tasty, but I personally loved the garlic tempura the most. And then came the tonkatsu! We tried the Royal Sangenton pork and Kagoshima black pork tonkatsu. The coating was crispy, the meat was juicy, and the flavor was incredible. It was so delicious that we ended up ordering more menchi katsu! Every dish was delicious and paired perfectly with the sake. When you think of a tonkatsu restaurant, you usually imagine just having a meal, but enjoying tasty fried food and sake is also a great idea! I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I'm on the 4th floor of Toranomon Hills. It's my third visit, entering around 8:30 pm on a weekday. About half of the customers are here, including a solo woman, couples, coworkers having drinks, and it's quite lively. Today, you can see Tokyo Tower from the window ❤️ Western pop songs like Ed Sheeran are playing. It feels like a Japanese-style dining bar. Unfortunately, my last visit was a miss. When I nervously looked at the kitchen, I was thrilled to see the same chef from my first visit ❤️ Overwhelmed with joy, I decided to order more fried dishes in addition to the tonkatsu set meal today. The Royal Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet Set Meal costs 2,000 yen. It comes with rice, miso soup, dried radish strips, pickled vegetables, cabbage with Japanese dressing (delicious). The pork loin cutlet is perfectly fried. The crispy and fluffy coating, along with the juicy and tender meat, is outstanding. The inside of the loin is slightly pink, turning white towards the outside, showing subtle changes in the meat's deliciousness as it cooks. It's enjoyable and all cuts are very tasty ❤️ I marveled at how the frying method can change the taste so much. The Snow Crab Cream Croquette costs 680 yen. I was surprised by how delicious it was! The crispy and fluffy coating is excellent, just like the tonkatsu. And inside the cream, there is plenty of crab, allowing you to fully enjoy the texture and umami of the crab. Yet, there is no hint of seaweed smell, the creamy and mellow flavor of the bechamel sauce perfectly matches. There is no lingering heaviness. Yes, this is a masterpiece! It's my number one snow crab cream croquette ever ❤️ It's about the size of a convenience store rice ball. The Shiitake Mushroom Stuffed with Meat Fry costs 400 yen. Squeeze lemon and eat it as it is to taste the rich flavor and aroma of the thick shiitake mushroom, which is delicious ❤️ The saltiness and meatiness of the minced cutlet part go well together. The Crispy Shrimp Fry costs 490 yen. This is also a high-level shrimp fry! The rich flavor of the shrimp is delicious ❤️ The tartar sauce is also amazing. It has plenty of pickles and onions, with less mayonnaise. You can enjoy the shrimp fry in a refreshing way. Unlike the sweet and heavy mayonnaise-filled tartar sauce at a Western-style restaurant, this one is well thought out to pair nicely with alcohol. It's truly impressive. I apologize for underestimating it.

Today I had a slightly luxurious lunch at the office ◆ Black Pork Satsuma Rosu Katsu Set ¥2530・Rokubai Kurobuta Rosu (120g)・Rice・Miso Soup・Pickles・Side Dish I learned in Kagoshima to start with salt. Mmm, you can really taste the flavor of the meat and it's juicy! I tried the cabbage and tonkatsu with sauce for the third piece. Oh, this is it! I switched back to salt and enjoyed it again. I found out later that this is originally a famous restaurant with its main branch in New Otani. When you want to eat black pork tonkatsu in Tokyo, this is the place to go.

I enjoyed a delicious meal of Kagoshima black pork loin cutlet at Toranomon Hills, where the taste has been established for over 40 years since its founding at Hotel New Otani. I chose to eat it with salt provided, and it was very tasty. Thank you and I look forward to visiting again.

I randomly walked into a restaurant on the 4th floor of Toranomon Hills with the shortest wait time, and it turned out to be a great choice! I tried the seasonal salmon fry and stuffed shiitake fry for 1,815 yen. Although it's a bit pricey, the tartar sauce and dressing were likely original and delicious enough to eat on their own. I wonder what the greenish chopped ingredient was - maybe cucumber pickles? The main fries were perfectly crispy and satisfying, and each dish was very tasty. I definitely want to try other items on the menu as well. They even had a non-slip mat under the miso soup bowl, showing attention to detail.

I visited an izakaya known for its tonkatsu at a company drinking party. The food at this Japanese restaurant was very good, with a focus on each dish. The sashimi and seafood platter were particularly impressive. I was in the mood for wine that day, so I ordered some and the recommended wine was delicious. Even when drinking and eating, the total bill was less than 10,000 yen, making it easy to use for small gatherings with foreigners.

The delicious tea high variety was interesting and tasty! The eggplant simmered dish and potatoes were very delicious! I will definitely order them again! The tonkatsu dumplings, edamame and corn rice were delicious. Maybe I won't order the potato salad next time. I want to try going for lunch next time!

Once-a-year human body checkup also became my last while still working. To celebrate, after the anesthesia from the nasal endoscopy for the stomach camera wore off at 11:05, we had lunch at a restaurant in Toranomon Hills that opens at 11:30. We ordered the weekday limited 20 servings of "Fumizen set meal" and added the "Black Pork Menchi Katsu". The set meal was abundant with deep-fried fish, sashimi, and even menchi katsu. However, the sashimi was a bit disappointing as it felt like a simple assortment of individual slices. Perhaps opting for a hearty 200g loin cutlet at a tonkatsu restaurant would have been a better choice. Since we had high expectations and lined up before the opening, it was a bit disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

Fumizen at Toranomon Hills, it's a hangover meal. I was looking for a lunch spot around Toranomon area, but the heat outside was too much to handle, so I gave up! I decided to search inside Toranomon Hills instead and found "Fumizen at Toranomon Hills". I was craving tonkatsu. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was full. Luckily, there was a spot available at the counter, so I quickly got in. Popular menu items: - Royal Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet Set 1800 yen - Royal Three-Element Pork Tenderloin Cutlet Set 1900 yen There were other menu options available, but most of the affordable lunch sets and limited items like wasabi cutlets were sold out. So, I decided to go for the Royal Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet. After a short wait, the Royal Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet Set (1800 yen) arrived. The tonkatsu was of average size and thickness. The cross-section looked good! I briefly thought about eating it with salt, but I believe tonkatsu performs best with sauce, rice, and the combination of the three. So, I poured a generous amount of sauce. The sauce at this restaurant is a special secret recipe passed down since its founding, and it has a strong spicy-sweet flavor. It paired perfectly with the rice. I also tried a bit of salt, but I think the tonkatsu tasted better with the sauce. Since there was no dressing, I sprinkled a bit of salt on the vegetables. The miso soup was seaweed miso soup, which was comforting. Overall, the tonkatsu was delicious. It seems like this place is a second branch of a long-established tonkatsu izakaya in New Otani or somewhere similar, and the secret sauce has been passed down since then. It was tasty, but the fact that only the slightly expensive tonkatsu was left was a bit disappointing. At 1800 yen, it might be a bit pricey, but for those times when you really want to eat a hearty tonkatsu for lunch, it's a good option. It's great to be able to pour sauce on the tonkatsu without hesitation from the start! I might come back again!

Fumizen Toranomon Hills is a restaurant where you can enjoy tonkatsu. The highly recommended dish is the katsudon with egg. The fluffy egg and juicy tonkatsu blend perfectly together, creating an exquisite taste. The regular tonkatsu set meal is also delicious, with a generous portion that leaves you feeling satisfied. When you want to eat heartily at Toranomon Hills, this place is recommended. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm, allowing you to enjoy your meal leisurely. Fumizen's tonkatsu has a crispy coating and juicy meat, making it addictive once you try it. For those who want to enjoy delicious tonkatsu around Toranomon Hills, this is a restaurant you should definitely visit.

This is the Fumizen restaurant located inside Hotel New Otani at Toranomon Hills. I occasionally go there for lunch and you can enjoy delicious tonkatsu for around 1,500 yen. On this day, I had the rosukatsu. The option of grated ponzu sauce is a must. I have never visited at night, but it might be nice as you can see Tokyo Tower. The atmosphere of the staff is also good, and I am always satisfied.

I visited for lunch after 12 noon on a regular day. There was only one group waiting. The Toranomon branch has a new and beautiful interior with a luxurious atmosphere, while the Nihonbashi main branch is a traditional store with over 40 years of history. It turns into an izakaya at night. I ordered the Herb Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet Set. It seems that rice and cabbage are free to refill. The pork cutlet is crispy and juicy, with a hint of sweetness from the fat. I will come back when I want to eat until I'm full! Thank you for the meal.

The crispy yet fluffy coating on the meat was delicious and the meat itself was tender. The coating was not overly greasy, giving a refreshing feeling while eating. I would like to try the chicken cutlet next time.

Although it is a tonkatsu specialty restaurant, the fish here is also delicious, so I had been eating grilled fish for a while. This time, I chose the tonkatsu set meal with herb-fed pork fillet. The portion size, chewiness, and of course the taste were all satisfying. The miso soup came with two sheets of seaweed and two pieces of flat wheat gluten. I enjoyed the wheat gluten.

[Shop Location] Directly connected to Toranomon Hills Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line [Visit Date] Weekday (Monday) around 11:30 [Crowdedness] About 30-40% full, but by 12:00 it was almost full [Order] Special loin cutlet set (¥1,700) [Impression] As mentioned above, highly recommended within the Mori Building. I have been here many times. Today, I chose the classic loin cutlet set. The 200g portion is very satisfying, with a great quality sweetness, elegant umami, and meatiness. I think it offers great value for money. Personally, I prefer it over the "Royal Berkshire Pork" (which I feel has more fat). Well, both are delicious though haha. Thank you for the meal today.

Tonkatsu restaurant "Fumizen" on the 4th floor of Toranomon Hills. The location offers a beautiful view of Tokyo Tower from the window. The original store has been a long-standing establishment at Hotel New Otani since 1977. We tried various items a la carte, and everything was delicious. The tonkatsu had a light color on the outside and was juicy on the inside. Even for someone with a sensitive stomach, the fried food seemed endless. There were no complaints or shortcomings (well, except for wanting more rice, but I resisted). It's no wonder they have been a prominent sign at New Otani for many years with such well-prepared dishes. Today was dinner, so it was a bit pricey, but I envy those who work at Hills for the affordable lunch prices. Today's order: Fillet cutlet, Black pork minced cutlet, Snow crab cream croquette, Chicken tenderloin plum shiso cheese fry, Asparagus and enoki mushroom with green onion, Smoked bonito pickled radish cheese, and a finale of rice in a clay pot with 5-6 drinks. Total cost at the time of visit: 3,350 yen.

"Tabelog Rating ☆3.35 *Visit Date: April 2023, Saturday, noon "Tonkatsu Fumizen" has been in business for over 40 years at the "Hotel New Otani." In March 2020, "Fumizen" opened its second store at Toranomon Hills. I visited without a reservation on a Saturday before noon, and there were available seats. The three types of pork used for tonkatsu are "Herb Sangen Pork," "Chiba Prefecture Royal Sangen Pork," and "Kagoshima Prefecture Kurobuta Samatsu." This time, I had the "Royal Sangen Pork Loin Katsu Set (150g)" (tax included 1760 yen). Royal Sangen Pork is characterized by its low fat content, high-quality starch-based feed, rich in oleic acid, and using only pure vegetable ingredients to reduce any odor. It arrived shortly after ordering. I seasoned it with the sauce and salt on the table. Although it had a bit more fat, it was indeed free of any odor, and the sweetness of the fat could be tasted. The breading was crispy. It was delicious, but personally, I found the fat a bit overwhelming towards the end (probably because I usually eat fillet only and it had been a while since I had loin). If I have the chance to visit again, I would like to try the fillet katsu next time.

A tonkatsu restaurant that has been in business for over 40 years at Hotel New Otani has opened a branch in Toranomon, attracting famous people from various fields. They offer a variety of tonkatsu sets and tonkatsu bowls, but this time I tried the grilled fish, which was incredibly delicious. The miso soup with board-cut wheat gluten was also a delightful addition. I highly recommend trying the wheat gluten.

It was very crowded around 11:30 in the afternoon. The food was delicious. I had the pork cutlet set meal, and the meat was thick and tasty. It may be a bit pricey for lunch, but treating yourself occasionally could be worth it.

Kurobuta Satsuma Special Pork Cutlet Meal Flavor of the meat: 4 Tenderness of the meat: 5 Oiliness: 4 Crispiness of the breading: 4 Cabbage: 4 Rice and soup: 3.5 The lightly pink pork cutlet is excellent with its tenderness and rich juiciness. The large cut is easy to eat due to its lightness in the frying method. Enjoying a beer while listening to Western music in the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and overlooking Tokyo Tower while eating exquisite cutlets is a luxurious moment. The restaurant has a mild oil smell, making it a good choice for those sensitive to odors.
