Located in the area of 1-6-5 Akasaka, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City - a 7-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the subway! It's about a 15-minute walk from the Tenjin area. The owner of this restaurant worked at "Tonkatsu / Shido" on Kego Hondori for 10 years! After that, they spent 9 years at the Mexican restaurant "El Boracho" before opening their own restaurant in September 2021. Here, you can enjoy tonkatsu made with "Shirogane Pork," a brand of pork from Iwate Prefecture that was used at "Tonkatsu / Shido." (What is Shirogane Pork?) It is a brand of pork from Iwate Prefecture named after a word that appears in the works of Kenji Miyazawa. The pigs are raised with a focus on hygiene management, drinking natural underground water and being fed locally grown corn. The exterior of the restaurant is on the first floor of a mixed-use building, with a mannequin near the entrance and a striking red wall, which may make you hesitate to enter the building. Inside, the atmosphere changes to a Japanese modern style with counter seats and table seats. The layout is comfortable for solo diners. Last time, I tried the delicious "aji fry," so this time I had the "Shirogane Pork" fillet and loin in a half-and-half combination. First, I tried the fillet with a touch of matcha salt - delicious! The meat is finely textured, tender, and has a wonderful umami flavor. Next, I tried the loin in the same way - the richness of the fat is directly enjoyable, with a sweet taste and a rich meat juice spreading in the mouth. Whether you prefer fillet or loin, trying both meats in a half-and-half combination allows you to appreciate the greatness of Shirogane Pork. The breadcrumbs used are coarse fresh breadcrumbs, fried in light rice oil, resulting in a perfectly crispy finish that is not heavy! It goes perfectly with beer. In the evening, the clientele is slightly more adult, and the atmosphere is different from lunch, but it is still an easy-to-use and nice restaurant. Recently, there has been a sudden increase in the popularity of tonkatsu restaurants in Fukuoka, and it's enjoyable to compare and taste various tonkatsu dishes, not just your favorite tonkatsu restaurant. This is a place I'd like to stop by occasionally, a tonkatsu specialty restaurant! Thank you for the meal. Enjoy Pork Life☆

I had the half & half of loin and sirloin. The sirloin was surprisingly tender, and I could really taste the sweetness of the pork. Personally, I preferred the sirloin. The miso-based sauce and wasabi salt were both delicious, making it hard to choose between them. The miso soup was sweet and very tasty, I couldn't help but have seconds! The rice was fluffy and delicious, so I had seconds of that too! The main dish, side dishes, everything was fantastic. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I was struggling to find a lunch spot as most places were closing by 3 pm. I searched nearby and found this place that serves lunch until 4 pm. It is located a 6-7 minute walk from Akasaka Station (Fukuoka, Japan) down a narrow alley. It was not crowded when I arrived around 3 pm. I tried their "Half & Half" lunch set for 1,600 yen, which includes half portions of pork loin and pork fillet. Both were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a sweet and savory flavor. The pork loin had less fat than expected and was surprisingly sweet when chewed. The pork fillet was cooked with a slightly rare finish, which I enjoyed. The rice, cooked in a clay pot, was shiny and delicious. The miso soup was decent, but a bit slimy. They also provided tonkatsu sauce, matcha salt, and pickled radish leaves. Overall, the tonkatsu was tasty, and I would consider returning if given the chance.

I have recently become obsessed with trying out delicious tonkatsu restaurants, and this time I visited Tonkatsu Tonton for the first time. I went around 5 pm on a holiday and was able to get a seat right away. They only serve a la carte menu items at night, so this time I ordered the white pork fillet with rice and miso soup set. The tonkatsu had a golden crispy coating and was crunchy on the outside. However, when I bit into it, I found the meat inside to be a bit watery and not as juicy as I expected. Since it was fillet, it was lean and easy to eat.

Tonkatsu Tonton is a hidden gem located a little off the main street in Akasaka. The entrance may seem a bit intimidating, but the friendly owner and the cozy counter seating make it welcoming. I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. They have a wide variety of dishes listed on the blackboard, in addition to the menu. I started with a draft beer and ordered the Braised Pork Belly made with Shirakin Buta, which was delicious and priced at 700 yen. It's like a pork version of meat tofu. I also tried the Half-size Pork Fillet, which was beautifully pink and tender, priced at 800 yen. They offer a good selection of sake, including Kuro Isanishiki, which I enjoyed with hot water. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience.

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and it's easy to remember with the name "Tonkatsu Tonton". If someone asks me for a recommendation for a delicious restaurant, I would immediately suggest "Tonkatsu Tonton". I feel that it's a place where even a woman dining alone can feel safe. The interior is clean and calming. Unlike many other places with lunchtime restrictions until 2 pm, this restaurant is open from 12 pm to 9 pm without a break. This is very convenient. In addition to tonkatsu, they offer a variety of sake and snacks. Today, I had the tenderloin set and potato salad. The crispy coating and juicy tenderness of the pork made each bite flavorful. The thick-cut 200g pork loin provides a satisfying meal. The rice cooked in a clay pot is delicious. The tonkatsu sauce, blended with miso, is rich. I recommend trying the wasabi salt or matcha salt for a different flavor. The potato salad is also delicious. I always believe that a restaurant with delicious potato salad will have other tasty dishes as well. I wonder what I should try next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I went to Tonkatsu Tonton! I ordered the Hakkin Ton (half & half) for 1,600 yen (tax included) which comes with rice, miso soup, and pickles. The tonkatsu that came out was incredibly delicious and had a very appetizing appearance. It was very large and looked like the perfect tonkatsu. When I tried it with the matcha salt, it was tender, sweet from the fat, and very delicious. However, the service was lacking. The two female staff members seemed preoccupied with something in the back, the menu took a long time to arrive, I had to grab my own utensils, and the hot towel never came. The basic customer service aspects like eye contact and attentiveness were missing. I felt like they wouldn't be able to handle a busy rush. It was disappointing because the food was so good. Personally, I don't think I'll be returning. It's a shame because I was looking forward to it.

Hello everyone, what's up?! It's MoriP, who loves to eat around Fukuoka! Today, I visited "Tonkatsu Tonton", which offers tonkatsu made with Iwate brand pork "Shirogane Pork". The biggest feature of Shirogane Pork is its fat. It is soft, juicy, flavorful, and light, earning praise like "once you eat the fat of Shirogane Pork, you can't go back to eating other fats". I tried the Rosukatsu set meal (1500 yen), which had a juicy and fatty Rosukatsu. The fat was not the usual heavy kind, but rather light and not overpowering, yet packed with flavor! The lean part was very tender, albeit slightly dry, but full of flavor. The crispy coating was excellent, sticking well to the meat and incredibly delicious! It paired perfectly with the wasabi salt. The wasabi salt was light and didn't overshadow the tonkatsu's flavor, making it a perfect match. The reason I came here to eat tonkatsu was for the sauce made with Haccho Miso! As a former Nagoya resident who loved "Yabaton", I had high expectations, but this sauce was different - it had a rich and tangy flavor. It was different from "Yabaton", but still incredibly delicious! By the way, the rice and miso soup in the set meal were also amazingly tasty! This was a lunch experience that left me completely satisfied overall.

The restaurant had mannequins and was difficult to enter. The interior was bright with nostalgic background music. I ordered a pork cutlet set meal and beer. The cabbage portion was large and the pork was big. However, the pork had a lot of fat. Maybe it was just today's meat. The seaweed miso soup was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

This restaurant operates continuously and I made a mistake by arriving early at 11:40 instead of the usual 12:00 opening time. The place was almost full when I entered, but I managed to get a seat at the counter. The restaurant used to be a Japanese-style eatery, and now it specializes in tonkatsu made with "Shirokane pork", which is rare in Fukuoka. I ordered a half and half set with both loin and fillet. The meal came with rice, miso soup with seaweed, pickles, and sauces including mustard and green tea salt. The main dish was beautifully presented with cabbage on the side. The fillet had a nice pink color and the loin was rich with fat. Personally, I felt that wasabi would have been a better choice than mustard.

I had the lunch set with pork cutlet. The lean meat was incredibly tender, while the fatty part had a sweet flavor that spread in my mouth, making my taste buds tingle. The taste wasn't overpowering, so I could enjoy it until the last bite without getting tired of it. I think this restaurant is one of the top three in Fukuoka City. I heard that they cook rice in a clay pot for dinner, which sounds delicious. However, it takes 30 minutes to be served, so as someone who likes to eat quickly and leave, I feel a bit hesitant to go. Thank you for the meal!

TonTon-san, a tonkatsu restaurant that opened in September 2021, has a cute name. It is located on the way from Akasaka to the Kego area, and is about a 5-10 minute walk from Akasaka Station. There is a menu signboard, and once you enter a small alley, you will find the entrance. The interior of the restaurant has a Japanese atmosphere, with a counter for 8 seats and one table for 6 people. During lunchtime, I ordered the signature dish of this restaurant, the tonkatsu made with Shirogane pork. To compare, I ordered a half-and-half of loin and fillet. I vaguely remember having Shirogane pork somewhere before, so I looked it up on the official website. It is a type of pork raised in Iwate Prefecture, with a mix of 3 bloodlines, known for its fine muscle fibers and distinctive fat. The set meal includes pickles, miso soup, shredded cabbage, and the main tonkatsu. I was pleasantly surprised that they serve cold tea as the complimentary drink. For dipping, they offer wasabi salt and a special tonkatsu sauce. The cross-section of the tonkatsu meat was very clean, with fine fibers. First, I tried the loin. The meat inside the crispy coating was tender, and the fat was not overwhelming. It was not heavy, even as I continued to eat more pieces. Next, the fillet. It was tender without much fat, and very delicious. Personally, I found the fillet even more delicious. The miso soup was slightly on the richer side, with a delicious broth, tofu, and enoki mushrooms. It was a tasty accompaniment to the meal. The shredded cabbage was served with a dressing made with shiso leaves. It seemed like the cabbage would have been good even without the dressing. There are many tonkatsu restaurants in the area from Tenjin to Akasaka, but this is definitely one of the recommended ones.

Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, a shop located about 5 minutes from Akasaka Station on the municipal subway. It was my first visit. I visited around noon on a holiday and was seated at the counter immediately without having to wait. There was only one seat left and the restaurant quickly became full. The menu had "Shirogane pork" listed, with both fillet and loin set meals priced at 1500 yen, which was quite reasonable. I ordered the loin cutlet set meal for 1500 yen. Initially, I was served with sauce and wasabi, as well as cold green tea. The cold tea was delicious and I drank it quickly, but the attentive young staff immediately refilled it. Then came the cutlet, rice, and miso soup. The miso soup was made with white miso, tofu, and wakame seaweed, with a real bonito broth. The cutlet had a rich flavor that came from the batter, which I think was cheese. It was very delicious as the fat melted and the flavor of the batter came through. I got a bit tired of it towards the end though. The cabbage itself was very tasty, but the dressing on it was not the best. I thought it would have been better if they served it without any dressing. The combination of wasabi salt and the fat of the Shirogane pork was delicious. The lean meat was also well-prepared and tasty. The rice was firm and went well with the cutlet. In 2022, several tonkatsu restaurants in Fukuoka have made it into the top 100 list, but even compared to those, I felt that this restaurant stood out. If I were to recommend just one tonkatsu restaurant in Fukuoka, it would be this one. Thank you for the meal.

In Fukuoka, a strong north wind is blowing, and you can really feel the arrival of autumn. I've been posting reviews on Tabelog for 4 months now. Up until now, I've mainly posted about noodle dishes that are easy to eat and have a good texture, but with the arrival of the appetizing autumn season, I want to start posting about other types of dishes as well! The first one is my visit to Tonkatsu Tonton in Akasaka! Despite being open for just over a year, this place has received high praise. As soon as you enter, you are drawn to the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere, making you feel like you've stepped into a high-end restaurant. Being unfamiliar, I was a bit taken aback at first. Haha. For my first visit, I ordered the White Gold Pork Loin! This White Gold Pork is a brand of pork from Hanamaki City in Iwate Prefecture, named after the works of the local fairy tale writer Kenji Miyazawa's "Pig at the Agricultural College of Flandon". I love this kind of historical background, and it only adds to my excitement! The dish came with sauce, wasabi salt, pickles, rice, and miso soup served in that order, and after about 15 minutes, the White Gold Pork Loin arrived! The White Gold Pork Loin is incredibly tender, making you think, "Is there really such a tender pork loin?" The coating is thin and crispy, and surprisingly juicy, without any greasiness. The sauce is a rich red miso-based sauce, not as strong as the miso katsu in Nagoya, but still flavorful! Just imagining pouring this sauce over a katsudon makes me excited. The wasabi salt has a subtle salty taste, with the wasabi flavor taking the lead! It felt like the wasabi was dried and ground into a powder over a long period of time. Despite being quite a large portion, I finished it all in no time! The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant and lovely, making it a great spot for a night out. I would definitely want to bring a girl with me if I had one to go with! Haha. Thank you for the delicious meal!!

I finally got to eat the fried horse mackerel that I had been wanting to try! And it turned out to be the last order available. It was lucky that I got it within the first hour of opening. The appearance was very large and thick, and when I ate it, it was crispy and had a fluffy texture. It was delicious. I shared half of the pork cutlet loin and fillet with someone, and usually I don't get a second serving of rice, but this time I had two helpings. I will visit again soon so I can have the fried horse mackerel again.

The location is hard to find, tucked away in an alley with a difficult-to-spot entrance! I was prepared to wait in line, but surprisingly there was no wait to get in!! I ordered the loin cutlet!! The Shirakawa pork was tender with a hint of sweetness and incredibly delicious! I tried both the green tea salt and miso sauce, but the miso sauce was the best! It was rich in flavor, but the depth of the miso really came through, making it enough to just pour it over rice! Rice refills are free, so I got a second serving and was completely satisfied! The tonkatsu here is top-notch!! Thank you for the meal!

"Tonkatsu Tonton" in Akasaka, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. A new tonkatsu restaurant that opened in September last year. I couldn't forget the delicious taste from my last visit, so I went back again. Here, you can enjoy the premium Shirakane pork from Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture. Raised with natural underground water rich in minerals from the Ou Mountains and safe domestic corn, this pork seems good for your health. You can tell from the first bite! Despite being thick, the meat is incredibly tender and juicy. The flavor overflows and spreads in your mouth. This tonkatsu is amazing! I usually prefer loin, but the fillet here is also great! Whether it's the delicious fat, meat juice, or the perfect balance, it directly attacks the taste buds in your brain. The juicy meat pairs perfectly with the green tea salt (in my opinion). Oh no, everyone should try this! Even if you have to line up for it. I had the Half & Half for 1,600 yen (lunch). Free rice refills during lunch hours from 12:00 to 16:00. Thank you for the delicious meal. You can find beautiful photos and videos on Instagram by searching k.t.r.from_fukuoka.

This is my first visit. A tonkatsu restaurant in Akasaka. I heard from a friend that the tonkatsu here is delicious, so I went there right away. I think it would appeal to those who like hearty tonkatsu, but I prefer the light-colored, low-temperature cooked type of tonkatsu, so it wasn't really my type. However, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful and you can choose the type of meat, which was tasty.

I heard that the tonkatsu here is delicious, so I decided to try it out. In addition to tonkatsu, there were various other appetizing menu items listed on the blackboard. The owner was very friendly and likable. I ordered the mixed set of pork fillet and pork loin. It was very tender and delicious. I was a bit hesitant about the red pork, but they assured me it was okay, so I felt relieved. The rice was also tasty. Thank you for the meal.

I revisited the restaurant because I had a good impression of the white platinum pork cutlet I had last time. The lunch menu includes the following options (with rice and miso soup): □ White Platinum Pork Loin (tax included 1500 yen) □ White Platinum Pork Fillet (tax included 1500 yen) □ White Platinum Pork Half & Half (tax included 1600 yen) □ White Platinum Pork Thick Cut Loin (tax included 2500 yen) □ Kirishima Mountain-Foot Pork Fillet (tax included 1200 yen) The "Half & Half" and "Thick Cut Loin" that were previously on the secret menu are now on the regular menu. This time, I decided to order the White Platinum Pork Fillet since I had the White Platinum Pork Loin last time. White Platinum Pork, also known as Platinum Pork, is a brand of pork from Iwate Prefecture. The owner opened the restaurant with the desire for more people to know about the deliciousness of White Platinum Pork. Here comes the White Platinum Pork Fillet cutlet. The cross-section is a beautiful pink color. When I tried it, it was tender and juicy. The deliciousness of the meat comes through clearly. Wasabi salt, Hachimitsu miso sauce, and lemon are provided, so you can enjoy it with your preferred flavor. Finished it all in no time. White Platinum Pork is truly delicious. It lives up to its name, like platinum. This is my second visit here, and I have become a fan of White Platinum Pork. I fell right into the owner's plan. Next time, I'll try the Thick Cut Loin cutlet. I will definitely come back to enjoy the delicious White Platinum Pork at Tonkatsu Tonton. P.S. The Instagram account (@tonkatsu_ton2) run by the owner's wife has some witty and entertaining posts.

Today, I was in the mood for tonkatsu, so I decided to visit "Tonkatsu Tonton" in Akasaka, which I had heard good things about. When I arrived at around 1:30 pm, there was a group of three young people waiting near the entrance. I lined up behind them, and one of them (a young woman) kindly let me go ahead to the counter seats since I was dining alone. The lunch menu included the following options (served with rice and miso soup): - Shirogane Pork Loin (¥1500) - Shirogane Pork Fillet (¥1500) - Kirishima Foothills Pork Fillet (¥1200) I ordered the Shirogane Pork Loin. Shirogane Pork, also known as Platinum Pork, is a brand of pork from Iwate Prefecture. The dish arrived, and it was quite generous in portion. As I took a bite, I was impressed by how tender and juicy the meat was. The fat was sweet and delicious. I tried half of it with wasabi salt and the other half with a sauce made with Hatcho miso. I finished every last bite. This was my first time trying Shirogane Pork, and it was truly delicious. The cabbage salad with dressing and the rice cooked in a clay pot were also excellent. Whenever I crave tonkatsu in the future, I will definitely consider coming back here, alongside my usual spot "Tonkatsu Hiro" in Nagasumi. Next time, I might try the Shirogane Pork Fillet. Thank you, Tonkatsu Tonton, for the delicious meal. P.S. The chef, who appeared to be around 40 years old, was very friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive experience.
