I topped my 140g pork loin cutlet with Hokkaido Yumenochi pork with shrimp fry. The cutlet was thick and delicious. (The shrimp fry was thinner than expected and not very cost-effective at 400 yen.) The cutlet was delicious, but what stood out even more was the rice in the wooden rice bowl. The rice, cabbage, and miso soup were all refillable, so I enjoyed them without hesitation. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back!

I don't usually order a mix like this, but I decided to try it to see which one is better. The main dish, the loin cutlet, was thick, tender, and very delicious. The fat was also tasty. On the other hand, the fillet cutlet was dry and lacked juiciness. It looked thick and delicious, but maybe it was fried too much or it was the quality of the meat. However, it was tender and easy to eat. The rice comes in a pot and is about one serving. The miso soup had clams in it, but it was too bland to be tasty. You can get refills of rice, miso soup, and cabbage, so you can eat to your heart's content. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the new tonkatsu restaurant that opened just a 3-minute walk from my home. The location, along a hill near Parco, has seen various shops come and go, but Sakura is a popular sister store with a good atmosphere and cleanliness. I ordered the thick-cut tonkatsu with Hokkaido pork, topped with aji fry. The thick-cut loin was delicious and juicy, although there were some slightly sinewy parts on the edges. The aji was thick and juicy as well. It's great that they are open late, making it a welcome addition for locals. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I used it for lunch when I had errands in Shibuya. The rice came in a pot and was very delicious, but the portion was too much to finish, so I wondered what to do with the leftover rice. I chose the lunch set, which was very tasty and had a good amount of food. The restaurant was quiet and I was able to enjoy my meal slowly.

Today's lunch was at a tonkatsu chain restaurant called Sakura, which has its main store in Kagurazaka. This place used to be a yakitori restaurant, so I was surprised to see it transformed into a tonkatsu place. It just opened last week on June 2nd. The interior is clean and has a casual family restaurant vibe. It's quite spacious, and even at 12 pm on a weekday, it's not crowded. I ordered the classic "Rosu Katsu Teishoku for 1,000 yen including tax" from the lunch set menu. It's a reasonable price. The meal comes with rice in a clay pot, miso soup with clams, and unlimited cabbage refills. The pork cutlet is thick and has a good amount of fat, making it quite tasty. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

There is a tonkatsu restaurant about a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station. The main branch seems to be in Kagurazaka. I ordered the pork cutlet set meal. The flavor of the cutlet is a bit light and doesn't leave a strong impression. It's nice that you can get refills of cabbage and miso soup. The rice comes out in a pot.

Category: [Tokyo] Tonkatsu ☆ Shibuya Lunch The tenant of this place changes quite frequently, but this time it was a tonkatsu restaurant, so I decided to give it a try. Tonkatsu Kagurazaka Sakura Shibuya Jinnan branch, looking at the menu, I noticed the words "Korowide Group". They have various brands such as Kappa Sushi, Gyu-Kaku, Domadoma, Kantaro, Yakitori Center, Ootoya, Freshness Burger, Steak Miya, Karaoke Jiyukan, Shabu Shabu Onyasai, Nigiri no Tokubei, and many more. It is a huge food and beverage group that is often a topic of conversation, for better or for worse. Upon further research, I found out that this brand has a total of 21 stores nationwide. It's quite impressive. First, they serve rice cooked in a clay pot. I thought there was a cushion on top, so I tried to sit properly, but it turned out to be a mitten. When I opened the lid, I was like, please spare me, it looks like rice porridge. You can't eat tonkatsu with rice porridge, right? But as soon as I scooped it into a bowl, steam rose up, and the rice transformed into a fluffy and delicious dish! The transformation from rice porridge to rice was truly like a Han Solo moment. It's like the "I love you, I know" scene. I ordered the Aji Fry and Rosu Katsu set meal for 1848 yen, which comes with rice, clam soup, and unlimited cabbage refills. There is also a version without Aji Fry for 1000 yen. It's quite rare to find tonkatsu of this quality for 1000 yen in Shibuya. You can see the corporate efforts of the chain restaurant. The tonkatsu had a crispy outer layer and tender meat with a good amount of fat. Considering that it comes with clay pot rice and clam soup, the Rosu Katsu set meal for 1300 yen seems reasonable. The Aji Fry, priced at 638 yen, was thick and fluffy, with a flavorful seasoning. It was delicious on its own. In Shibuya, where tonkatsu restaurants are scarce, this place offers the best cost performance. The clay pot rice was especially outstanding.

It seems that the Shibuya branch of Tonkatsu Sakura Co., Ltd., part of the Colowide Group, opened on June 2, 2023. The restaurant is quite spacious, with counter seats and many table seats. The recommended dish is the fried horse mackerel, but there are also daily set meals to choose from. I went with the daily set meal which included fillet cutlet, minced cutlet, and eggplant stuffed and fried. The rice served in a hot pot was shiny and delicious. The cutlets were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, especially when eaten with salt. The eggplant was wrapped in minced meat and was a great combination. The miso soup and cabbage were also tasty. The total cost for the meal was 990 yen, which was quite reasonable. They also gave me a stamp card, and I noticed many people buying bento boxes as well. Overall, it's a great place for fried food at a good price, and I will definitely come back again!

The tonkatsu restaurant that opened in Shibuya on June 2nd offers a set meal with tonkatsu as the main dish, served with rice cooked in a pot, cabbage, and clam soup (which is rare for a tonkatsu restaurant!). Enjoying the tonkatsu with salt as recommended brings out the sweetness of the fat. There was a minor order mix-up, perhaps due to being newly opened, but the staff's response was excellent. I have decided that I will definitely visit this restaurant again when I am in the area next time.

It's incredibly delicious! I'm so happy to have found a very delicious tonkatsu restaurant right in the heart of Shibuya. The restaurant is spacious and you can even enjoy Maruef's draft beer.
