Since the tonkatsu restaurant "Wako" closed down in my hometown, it has been about 10 years since I last had tonkatsu from there. The restaurant's sign says "Tonkatsu Wako," but on Tabelog it is listed as "Katsu Kobo Wako." I wonder if there is a difference? I visited the store on the 3rd floor of Triton Square around 6:30 pm, and there were not many people, probably due to the decrease in customers after the pandemic. Wako also had about half the usual number of customers. I was seated at a table as soon as I entered. I ordered the "Mixed Fillet and Loin Cutlet with Rice (tax included 1530 yen)." At first glance, it may seem expensive, but considering the size of the tonkatsu in front of me and the fact that rice, cabbage, and miso soup are free refills, it is actually quite cost-effective. Both the fillet and loin cutlets were thick and the breading was crispy, while the meat was tender with a sweet flavor, making sauce unnecessary. The cabbage tasted delicious with the yuzu dressing provided on the table. The miso soup was made with clams, which would probably cost around 150-200 yen alone, but it was also free refills. Amazing, right? I have been losing my appetite gradually recently, so I did not ask for any refills this time, but for those who want to eat a lot, this place is perfect. The interior of the restaurant is clean and has a calming atmosphere, making it a hidden gem in my opinion. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The bento is cost-effective and delicious, even though you can get unlimited cabbage and miso soup at the restaurant. The heated bento is also tasty. There are various types to choose from, so I'm going to try a variety in a combination platter. The fact that there is a threshold made of styrofoam between the salad and the cutlet to keep the crispy texture is a thoughtful touch.

Visited on a holiday. Ordered the Holiday Lunch set which includes a combination of pork cutlet, shrimp fry, and minced cutlet for 1,080 yen. Everything was delicious with a crispy texture. Rice and cabbage are free for refills. Will definitely visit again.

Three years have passed since the arrival of the coronavirus. In the New Normal era where remote work has become the norm, business district restaurants are facing a tough environment. I also work in the office once a week, but overall, I think the attendance rate is about 20%. Well, it's a relief that it doesn't turn into a lunch war for the diners, but the restaurants are struggling with low turnover rates. Today, I happen to be eating lunch alone as usually I have a few colleagues to choose from. I usually go to a Taiwanese Chinese restaurant for quick, cheap, and delicious meals. But feeling a bit tired recently, I decided to go for a hearty meal, so I chose between a soba shop and a tonkatsu shop for a katsudon. Hmm. Today, I decided to go all in with a katsudon, so I chose Katsukobo Wako. I arrived at 11:45 and managed to be seated at the very last table without waiting in line. Since I had decided on katsudon, I ordered the "Rosu Katsudon (1,150 yen)" without hesitation. However, as people started coming in from around 11:30, most were still waiting for their orders, so I prepared myself for a long wait and started watching Netflix. It took about 20 minutes for the katsudon to arrive (fairly fast). At Wako, you can have unlimited rice and cabbage, so I first finished the cabbage with ponzu dressing on the table. Then I had a refill and this time finished it with sauce. After eating two servings of cabbage to prepare my stomach, I started attacking the main dish. Now, the katsudon. As expected from a specialty shop, even when wrapped in egg, the katsu's crispy texture remained, and the freshly fried aroma was rich and delicious. The thick pork loin meat was sweet and had a good volume. The rice and egg were also delicious, so I dug in and filled my mouth with the ultimate happiness. The default amount of rice is quite substantial, so even though I ate a lot, it didn't decrease much. Finally, in a full state, I continued to eat the pickles and miso soup, and with a final spurt, I emptied the bowl and said thank you for the meal. Even at 5:30 p.m. when I finished work, I was not hungry at all, so I decided to skip dinner.

This is a tonkatsu restaurant located on the 3rd floor of Shingai Triton Square. I visited during lunchtime on a weekday. Compared to other nearby restaurants, there were fewer people waiting, so I was able to get in without much of a wait. I ordered the lunch set which included pork cutlet, shrimp fry, and minced cutlet. The taste was decent and I found it delicious. However, since there are many tonkatsu restaurants like this, I wish there was something more unique about it. Considering the price is over 1000 yen, I think I would only visit occasionally.

It's been a while since I went to Washou. They have a lunch set menu with a small portion of hirekatsu, ebi fry, and shiso-flavored chicken cutlet called "Hagi." It's not listed on their website, but it's a great deal at 1,080 yen.

I casually explored Harumi Triton Square for lunch today. Exiting from Exit A2b of Toei Subway Oedo Line Kachidoki Station, turn right on the ground to reach Kiyosumi Street on the right and Harumi Street ahead. Walk along Harumi Street towards Harumi for a while until you reach a bridge with a moving walkway. Cross the bridge with the moving walkway, continue straight for a bit, then look to your left to find an escalator leading up to the second floor of Harumi Triton Square. Take the escalator up to the second floor, enter the entrance, and proceed diagonally to the right. You will find another escalator leading up to the third floor. Take the escalator to the third floor, continue straight, then descend a few steps of stairs where you will see a sign on a pillar. Follow the sign to the right, according to the instructions, and you will find "Katsu Kobo Wakou Harumi Triton Store" where I visited today on the left. I entered the store at 12:30 on a weekday. The store was quite busy with around 70% occupancy. I was guided to a table by a female staff member after waiting a bit at the entrance. Looking at the menu, they offered lunch sets such as Katsu Kobo Lunch Set for 1,050 yen, Double Katsu Kobo Lunch Set for 1,350 yen, Bite-sized Fillet Cutlet Set for 1,250 yen, Pork Cutlet Bowl for 1,150 yen, Fillet Cutlet Bowl for 1,050 yen, Assorted Set "Hana" for 1,580 yen, and Assorted Set "Hagi" for 1,080 yen. Feeling hungry, I decided to order the "Double Katsu Kobo Lunch Set" with two pork cutlets. After a 10-minute wait, the set was served. The set included two pork cutlets, cabbage and parsley, rice, miso soup, and pickles. I wanted to enjoy the pork cutlets fully, so I started by eating them with the sauce. The pork cutlets were juicy with a crispy coating, providing a delightful contrast in textures. One of the highlights of "Wakou" is the crispy coating, achieved through deep-frying with good oil and coarse breadcrumbs. I love the crispy texture and juiciness of the meat, which is why I come here for their tonkatsu. I finished one pork cutlet, had a refill of rice and cabbage, enjoyed the pickles with the remaining pork cutlet, and finished with the miso soup. Today, I devoured two delicious pork cutlets unique to "Wakou" and left the restaurant satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Near Tsukishima Station, there is a restaurant inside Harumi Triton ☆ We enjoyed a plate of roast and minced meat on a weekday evening, and there weren't too many people, so we could relax and enjoy our meal!! Delicious as always! It's nice to be able to fully enjoy mealtime♪♪ I will definitely go back☆彡

This is a tonkatsu restaurant located on the 3rd floor of the complex facility "Harumi Triton Square" in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. It is a branch of the tonkatsu chain "Wako" originating from Kawasaki. The difference between the regular "Wako" and "Katsu Kobo" seems to be minimal. At "Wako," you can have unlimited refills of rice, clam soup, and cabbage, while at "Katsu Kobo," you can only have refills of rice and cabbage. Also, instead of clam soup, you get miso soup at "Katsu Kobo." It seems that by adjusting the service content based on rental costs, the difference in price is not significant. The interior is a calm space with a woodgrain design, similar to other Wako branches. The main tables are for two people. As a measure against COVID-19, partitions have been set up between tables that are close together, and tables are thoroughly disinfected with alcohol. The lunch menu is all priced above 1,000 yen, which seems to be the standard for dining establishments at Harumi Triton. The basic Katsu Kobo lunch set is priced at 1,050 yen. The popular dish for women is the Combination Set [Katsura] (1,080 yen). I tried the Katsu Kobo Lunch Set (1,050 yen), which is the most basic tonkatsu set. It is a slightly thin loin cutlet, which is the main dish in this set. The cutlet is coated with slightly coarse breadcrumbs and fried. The thinness of the meat is undeniable, but the balance of fat and lean meat in the loin is good. There is a slight pork-specific smell, but it pairs excellently with the spicy and slightly acidic sauce. The combination of this cutlet and sauce is a taste that calls for rice. The rice is slightly soft and cooked just right, using good quality rice, making it delicious. If you want to eat delicious rice, I recommend going to Wako. The miso soup is filled with daikon, carrots, and konjac, providing a healthy taste. The pickled radish is light and refreshing. The shredded cabbage served with the cutlet is freshly cut in-store. It is delicious with yuzu dressing or sauce. For refills, a separate small bowl is provided, kept cool in the refrigerator, making it refreshing in the summer. It is disappointing that there are no refills for miso soup, but considering the location-appropriate price, this tonkatsu set offers high cost performance. It is a recommended restaurant for those who want to eat hearty but do not want to compromise on quality.

Today, I had a meeting at 12 o'clock, so my colleague and I went to the restaurant area on the 3rd floor of Harumi Triton at 11 o'clock. My colleague recommended a place called Wakou, which is always crowded. It's been a long time since I last went to a tonkatsu restaurant. I couldn't handle a whole loin cutlet, so I ordered a set called "Hagi" which included a bite-sized fillet cutlet, shrimp fry, and chicken tenderloin with shiso leaf tempura. While we were waiting, more and more customers arrived. All the dishes were freshly fried and delicious. I enjoyed the shrimp fry with tartar sauce, even eating the tail. I asked for less rice, but you can have unlimited rice and cabbage. The staff walked around and brought more cabbage. My colleague had two helpings of cabbage. I was very satisfied with this long-awaited tonkatsu meal. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the bustling Harumi Triton Square, this tonkatsu restaurant often has a short line but you can usually get your lunch within 10 minutes. The atmosphere inside is calm and relaxing, allowing you to enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Despite the low price of 1,000 yen for the tonkatsu lunch, there are elements that provide a sense of satisfaction. You can enjoy unlimited refills of cabbage and rice, and the fact that they refill your tea promptly adds to the overall satisfaction. The taste is decent for the price, and the complimentary miso soup is a nice touch. This tonkatsu restaurant competes in the competitive lunch market with its high level of hospitality.

Katsu Kobo Wakayuki is different from other restaurants because of its unique concept. The overall atmosphere is very calm with a wooden theme. I ordered the Holiday Lunch set, which was delicious. They provided cold barley tea with a refillable teapot at the beginning, which was a nice touch. I also added grated daikon radish for an extra charge, which added another dimension to the meal. The tonkatsu was cooked perfectly and didn't leave me feeling heavy afterwards. This is important for me as I need to stay focused during work after lunch.

I usually order the pork cutlet, but I also like shrimp, so this time I tried the lunch menu shrimp cutlet. It was very delicious. The price is reasonable if you enter before 5pm and can enjoy the lunch menu.

I like to eat with salt so I would like salt to be provided. I felt like there was a slightly excessive amount of batter. The pork miso soup is good. It may depend on the day, but the staff paying attention to refills was nice. Depending on the seat, you can see Triton Square, which I personally liked. Thank you for the meal.

In Triton, it's relatively affordable, so I go there occasionally when I really feel like having tonkatsu. The taste? The cost performance? As everyone knows, there's not much difference in service, so if you've been to a certain Wako, you can imagine it's pretty much the same. Well, the cost performance is average, the prices are a bit high, but you'll leave feeling full. That's about it.
