We had a holiday lunch here. We ordered the Tonsho Assorted Meal Set for 4,780 yen (enough for two people), a bottle of beer for 710 yen, and a highball for 540 yen, totaling 6,030 yen. Rice, cabbage, and miso soup were free refills. The staff were all very friendly, and we enjoyed our meal. Thank you for the delicious food!

I wanted to enjoy a leisurely tonkatsu lunch, so I decided to dine at a tonkatsu restaurant in Shinjuku Takashimaya. I ordered the fillet cutlet, which came with unlimited cabbage and rice. They had green shiso dressing available on the table, which was a nice touch. I appreciated having a small dish for the sauce, as it prevented the tonkatsu from getting soggy. The seating arrangement in the restaurant was conducive to a relaxed dining experience, and there were many families dining there. The tonkatsu restaurant on the first floor had a long line, so I was glad I chose this one. Overall, I was satisfied with my meal.

Using Kagoshima pork, the 170g Mochi Pork Loin Cutlet costs 2160 yen. The service includes unlimited refills of thinly shredded cabbage, pork miso soup, and rice. The pork cutlet is crispy on the outside and juicy with fat, making it delicious.

The combination of oysters and roast beef that can only be enjoyed at this time of year is fantastic. The oysters are plump and the roast beef is thick, providing a satisfying meal. The all-you-can-eat pork miso soup is also a great match. It's rare to find a place that offers all-you-can-eat pork miso soup, which is a big plus. The atmosphere inside the restaurant can be a bit noisy at times, possibly due to the close seating arrangement, making it a bit difficult to relax.

The pork cutlet dish served by the master of pork is exceptional. The carefully selected domestic pork is tender, juicy, and has a fine texture. You can also enjoy rare brand pork from various regions of Japan. The staff recommended the loin, so I ordered that without hesitation. You can get refills of cabbage, rice, and miso soup. The thickness of the pork cutlet coating is just right, providing a crispy texture and a rich flavor from the rose pork and its moderate fat content. It's delicious! The cooking temperature was perfect, with no oily smell. I enjoyed the flavor of the pork with the snow salt provided, followed by the tonkatsu sauce. The cabbage was sliced just right, not too thick or too thin, maintaining its deliciousness. It was crispy, not too cold. The dressing with green perilla was also delicious. The rice is Fukushima-grown Koshihikari, cooked slightly firm to complement the pork cutlet. Alternating between the tonkatsu, rice, and occasionally the miso soup and pickles was a delightful experience. The miso soup was simply delicious. The pickles had a nice texture and added a refreshing touch to the meal. I felt so happy to enjoy a delicious pork cutlet. I am grateful for the blessings of food. The attentive service of the staff was also very much appreciated. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Tonkatsu Tontaro on the 13th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya for a weekend dinner. After finishing shopping at the baby products section on the 9th floor, we headed straight to the restaurant area since it was a good time. We chose a table near the elevator, as my daughter was a bit fussy. The restaurant is very child-friendly, with highchairs available and other families with kids around. The atmosphere was calm, although the seating capacity was not very large. We had to leave the stroller at the entrance due to limited space. The best part was that cabbage, miso soup, and rice were all-you-can-eat, which was a pleasant surprise. My daughter loves miso soup, so I was happy about that. We ordered the Oyster and Pork Loin Cutlet Set for 2,330 yen, the Mochi Pork Loin Cutlet Set (170g) for 2,190 yen, and the Kids Set for 1,090 yen. The Kids Set came with a fancy snack box where my daughter got a toy airplane, which she loved. The food arrived in about 10 minutes after ordering, and the service was smooth. The quality of the Kids Set was surprisingly high, and my daughter enjoyed it. The Pork Loin Cutlet I ordered was delicious, with a crispy coating and juicy meat. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience at the restaurant.

I have been quite busy with work lately, so I haven't had the chance to explore new tonkatsu restaurants. However, I had some business in Shinjuku during lunchtime, so I decided to go for a tonkatsu meal. I found two tonkatsu restaurants in the restaurant area of Takashimaya, and I chose the one that was less crowded. The restaurant was called "Tonkatsu Toshou" on the 13th floor. The interior was clean and had a cozy atmosphere. I ordered the "Mochi Tonkatsu Loin Set (170g)" for 2,190 yen. The tonkatsu arrived after about 12-13 minutes. The tonkatsu was cooked perfectly with a crispy coating and tender meat. However, I found the meat lacking in flavor and a bit lean. Overall, I enjoyed the tonkatsu with the fruity sauce and spicy mustard. The tonjiru soup was delicious, and the pickles were just a decorative touch. I had a bit of a dilemma in giving a rating, as the tonkatsu was better than some chain restaurants I like but not quite on par with the higher-rated ones. In the end, I would give it 3 stars.

The inside of the store was clean and the service was attentive. The taste of the cutlet was very delicate... it disappeared as soon as I chewed it. It went perfectly with the cheese. The cabbage side dish and dressing were also delicious and wonderful. It's a hidden gem that I want to come back to again.

On a windy day, while walking in Shinjuku South Exit, my eyes suddenly started hurting a lot. I rushed into Takashimaya, and since there was no line, I decided to go into a tonkatsu restaurant called Tonsho. (It may seem strange to go into a tonkatsu restaurant because my eyes hurt, but I was hungry and thought eating would make me feel better.) One of my eyes was hurting so much that I couldn't open it at all, and the other eye was half-open with tears streaming down. I ordered the Ebi Fry and Ume Cheese set meal for ¥2070 from the menu that I could barely see. I was happy to find out that the miso soup was tonjiru and that there was plenty of tartar sauce! The cabbage, which was free refill, tasted surprisingly good, as always in tonkatsu restaurants. The set included Ebi Fry, Ume-wrapped Hirekatsu, and Cheese-wrapped Hirekatsu. I especially liked the Ebi Fry and Cheese-wrapped Hirekatsu! Despite my eyes almost closed and using my left hand to hold the painful eye, I managed to finish the meal! It was a moment when my determination to eat overcame the pain.

Tonkatsu restaurant on the 13th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. I wanted to eat a luxurious lunch, so I entered. The restaurant was crowded with many families. I ordered the "Ebi Fry and Ume Cheese Set Meal" for 2070 yen, which is quite expensive for me. Normally, I spend around 500 yen for lunch, so I ate it carefully. The Ume (plum) was sandwiched with shiso (perilla leaf), and it had a strong shiso flavor rather than Ume, but it matched perfectly and was delicious! It made me feel the Japanese essence. The Ebi Fry and Cheese were also delicious without saying. I felt very satisfied. I can't come here often, but I still want to come back soon to eat. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first visit. I went on a weekday night. The interior of the restaurant is very simple. I ordered a set meal that included both hirekatsu and oyster fry. The hirekatsu was thick and tender, very delicious. The oyster fry had large oysters and was decent. However, both dishes had a subtle issue with the batter. The thick and hard batter felt like it was getting in the way, which was a shame. Order details (including tax): Oyster and hirekatsu set meal 2,050 yen. Paid by card.

At Takashimaya, there are other tonkatsu restaurants, but this time I visited this one for the first time. It was a bit past peak hours, but there were quite a few customers. I felt like just having tonkatsu might not be enough, so I ordered a set that came with fried oysters. First, they brought out cabbage, which you can have unlimited refills of. Why is tonkatsu restaurant cabbage so delicious? I don't eat that much cabbage at home, but I always end up getting refills at places like this (laughs). Afterwards, the pork cutlet and fried oysters arrived. The fried oysters left a bigger impression than the cutlet. The thick oysters were delicious. The pork cutlet was just okay. It felt like a basic tonkatsu restaurant.

Category: [Tokyo] Tonkatsu Everyone, have you tried the delicious tonkatsu at Wako? However, did you know that there is a high-end Wako chain as well? Tonkatsu Tonsho Shinjuku Takashimaya store has only two branches, located in Shinjuku Takashimaya and Yokohama Sogo. In other words, only selected celebrities who enter high-end department stores like Takashimaya or Sogo can enjoy this Wako. Among them, the most expensive menu is this one. Probably at 2950 yen for lunch, it may be hard to imagine for everyone. Let me explain it clearly. When it comes to luxury, think of iodine egg light. One iodine egg light costs 60 yen. The amount you pay for drinking a ramen bowl with 50 iodine egg lights poured in all at once is this price. You can understand how luxurious it is, right? Black Pork Rose Cutlet Set (220g) 2950 yen Rice, miso soup, cabbage - all refillable Freedom The fact that one-third of the meat is fatty is a sign of the deliciousness of the fatty part. When it comes to loin, it's about the fatty part, and when it comes to the fatty part, it's about loin. The meat is tender and not too strong in flavor, but the fatty part alone is more than enough. The rice is also delicious. They even ask if you would like a second helping, along with the miso soup. Even if you have the opportunity to eat 50 iodine egg lights, I recommend having tonkatsu here for the same price.

Due to circumstances, it had been a year since I last visited Shinjuku, so I decided to go to Takashimaya on the 13th floor in the midst of a storm. My original plan was to have thick-cut pork cutlet, but upon seeing the menu, I was immediately drawn to the katsudon. However, I forgot the rule that katsudon should be eaten at a soba restaurant. It was delicious enough, but the set meal would have been the better choice.

- Station: Shinjuku, Shinjuku Sanchome - Budget: 1,700 yen - Reservation: Not required - Order: Pork cutlet bowl with cabbage, free refills of miso soup. The charm of a pork cutlet restaurant lies in this. Honestly, I always end up enjoying the cabbage and miso soup more than the main dish. On this day, I had 5 servings of cabbage and 3 servings of miso soup. It may seem a bit stingy to fill up on the free refills, but I simply love shredded cabbage and miso soup. Moreover, at Tonsho, the dressing on the shredded cabbage was made with shiso. It's a combination I adore. Sometimes there are places that only offer sauce, but in those cases, I strangely find myself not asking for refills. In other words, I love shiso dressing. When I receive fresh shredded cabbage with that dressing, it's irresistible. And as for the miso soup, I decided back in elementary school that it would be my last supper. I always switch miso soup to pork soup at various beef bowl chain restaurants. Different places offer pork soup with varying levels of oiliness, richness, and ingredients. In this particular restaurant, the first bowl was rich in ingredients, while the second bowl had a concentrated flavor despite fewer ingredients. It was clear that the staff were taken aback by me ordering three servings of miso soup at a pork cutlet restaurant. However, I wished they wouldn't skimp on the ingredients, even if they were surprised by my order. In conclusion, the pork cutlet was simply delicious.

I visited the high-class Tonkatsu Wako restaurant a little after 5 pm on Saturday for an early dinner. The bright and clean interior provided a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy my meal. I ordered the "Master Roast Pork Cutlet Set" (130g for 1740 yen excluding tax), which had a slightly coarse and crispy coating, tender yet not too soft pork, and a hint of sweetness from the fat. It was a delicious dish. The only downside was that the coating didn't drain well, causing the meat to peel off a bit. I enjoyed the dish with simple powdered salt to savor the natural flavors, as well as the classic fruity tonkatsu sauce. The shredded cabbage and rice were free for refills, and the set came with free refills of pork miso soup, which was a nice bonus.

Cabbage, rice, and miso soup with unlimited refills ❤️ So happy (lol) I couldn't resist getting a second helping of cabbage while waiting for the tonkatsu. Today we shared oysters, shrimp, and pork loin. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, perfect for a leisurely meal. With unlimited rice and miso soup refills, I am completely satisfied.

Today, I had a huge appetite. Lately, I've been craving meat a lot. Maybe it's because I ate too much sushi and seafood recently? I decided to stop by a tonkatsu restaurant. I really like the all-you-can-eat cabbage and rice at tonkatsu restaurants. The tonkatsu was thick and satisfying to eat. Yeah, it was delicious. Before I knew it, I had eaten three bowls of rice.

Tonsho, located on the 13th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya, is a tonkatsu restaurant. It is a branch of the large tonkatsu chain "Wako" and there is only one of its kind in the whole country. This was my second visit, and I was excited to try their food again. Arriving around 6:30 pm on a Saturday, the restaurant was packed with long lines at every table. I was seated at a slightly spacious table for two. I decided to order the recommended Kagoshima Rokkaku Kurobuta thick-cut loin tonkatsu set meal (2,916 yen tax included). The cabbage salad that came first was served separately, which was a nice touch. However, the taste was not impressive, lacking sweetness and having a slight bitterness. The texture was also not great, similar to eating coleslaw. The thick-cut Rokkaku Kurobuta tonkatsu arrived after a 15-minute wait. Visually, it looked slightly burnt, and the presentation of the tonjiru soup was not appealing. The tonkatsu slices varied in quality, with the right end being delicious and melting in the mouth, but the breading was too coarse and interfered with the meat's flavor. The middle to left end was overcooked, dry, and disappointing. The tonjiru soup, on the other hand, was tasty with good ingredients, but the presentation was lacking. The price of around 3,000 yen is a bit high, especially considering the availability of tastier tonkatsu options out there. Despite some shortcomings, I appreciate the free refills of rice, cabbage, and tonjiru soup, which is a unique feature of chain restaurants. While the overall experience was not perfect, I may consider returning to try other items on the menu. Thank you for the meal, and I look forward to visiting again.

Before watching a play at the Southern Theater in November 2018, I entered the restaurant. It was a weekend and there were many families with children, so the sound of crying toddlers filled the restaurant at 11:30. However, I am not easily bothered by such things, so it didn't really bother me. What did bother me a bit was the loud voice of a middle-aged woman talking on the phone. The menu had generally high prices, like those you would find at Takashimaya. Plus, most items were priced over 2,000 yen, with tax not included. I decided to order the Oyster and Pork Cutlet set meal for 1,980 yen. I quickly calculated the tax, which came out to 2,138 yen. It was a bit extravagant for a solo lunch without alcohol. First, they brought out shredded cabbage. I usually like to eat it with sauce, but they had table dressing so I tried that instead. I still preferred the sauce. The Pork Cutlet and Oyster Fry were served in about 8 minutes, which was quite fast for frying from scratch. However, the pork cutlet had a dry coating and the meat was a bit dry. The oyster was large and well-cooked. The rice and miso soup were okay. The pork loin had a good amount of fat, making it less dry, but it was still disappointing. Overall, it was a low-quality pork cutlet that did not match its price.
