When a friend from overseas visited Japan, they wanted to eat delicious tonkatsu, so I took them to this restaurant that I had been curious about. We went for lunch, but there was already a wait. There is a machine in front of the restaurant where you can issue a reservation ticket, so we got our ticket and waited. There were many other foreigners at the restaurant, so it may be well-known. There was also an English menu available! My friend was significantly late, but the staff kindly kept our reservation and seated us when we arrived. My friend had a set with both fillet and loin tonkatsu (2,400 yen), while I had a 100g fillet tonkatsu (2,200 yen). There were two types of tonkatsu sauce and two types of dressing for the salad on the table, as well as other condiments, so my friends enjoyed trying different flavors. The tonkatsu was very tender, juicy, and delicious! My friends were also satisfied and said that Japanese tonkatsu is the best. I will definitely visit again!

I've visited a few times already but haven't reviewed it yet, haha. Hirata Farm never disappoints. Although the wait can be a bit long, you can definitely enjoy delicious tonkatsu. Today, I also added shrimp fry. It was thick and delicious, but I wished they had tartar sauce... My current favorite is to eat it with smoked olive oil and seaweed salt!

Hirata Farm in Yamagata Prefecture, which handles the rearing, processing, and sale of pork, has a shop in Tokyo Midtown. They offer various tonkatsu set meals. This time, I ordered the "Sangen Pork Loin Cutlet Set Meal." The pork was tender and had a good amount of fat. The portion size was decent as well. It's nice that you can get unlimited refills of rice, miso soup, and cabbage. The miso soup had seaweed, green onions, and three pieces of rolled wheat gluten. I enjoyed the wheat gluten.

I was finally able to visit a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I chose this place because I wanted to eat properly during my break at work. I arrived at 12:45 and there were already 3 people waiting. The turnover seems to be quite fast. I was drawn to the photos and chose the "Mizore Gozen" dish, which is available for 1300 yen during weekday lunch. They offer free refills of miso soup and cabbage rice. I was impressed by how beautiful the restaurant is and how good the cost performance is. I deeply felt that Japan is truly a wonderful country. #Thank you for the meal.

This is the tonkatsu from Hirata Farm in Roppongi Midnight Town! The souvenirs are quite abundant and nice, but since they are perishable, I will pass on them. The tonkatsu is delicious as always! Thank you for the meal! The pork from Hirata Farm must be special after all.

[Hirata Farm] - Kurobuta Pork Loin (100g) & Pork Tenderloin Cutlet (50g) 2500 yen - Change to Pork Miso Soup 200 yen The meat is juicy, sweet, and full of flavor. There are various seasonings available for you to enjoy different tastes. I recommend trying it with salt and smoked olive oil. You can have unlimited refills of rice and cabbage.

Hirata Bokujou Tokyo Midtown store is a place to cure a hangover. Located in Midtown, this restaurant is usually known for its takeout tonkatsu, but it also has a small dining area. I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised by the cozy seating and menu options. Recommended menu items include the Kinkatontonkatsu set for 2400 yen, the Kinkatontonkatsu 100g for 2200 yen, and the premium pork loin cutlet set for 1300 yen. I opted for the 1300 yen premium pork loin cutlet set during lunchtime. The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign. The set came with sesame and pickles, along with a variety of condiments like seaweed salt, olive oil, soy sauce, tonkatsu sauce, and spicy miso garlic sauce. I started with the seaweed salt, which enhanced the sweetness of the tonkatsu. The cutlet was tender with a crispy coating, and the tonkatsu sauce complemented it perfectly. I also tried the spicy miso garlic sauce, which was delicious but couldn't beat the classic tonkatsu sauce. Overall, the meal was satisfying and a great find in Tokyo Midtown. I will definitely consider dining in at Hirata Bokujou again in the future.

Lunch in Midtown! Couldn't decide where to go, but ended up here (^_^) Enjoyed both the pork loin and fillet of Kinuta pork with two types of sauce, garlic miso sauce and regular sauce. Upgraded to pork soup as well! So delicious! I am full and satisfied now. Thank you for the meal! m(_ _)m

13:00 I went to the restaurant and it wasn't too crowded, so I was seated quickly! I really wanted to eat tonkatsu that day. It's a weekday special, but getting a tonkatsu this size for 1100 yen is very reasonable. Plus, you can have unlimited cabbage and rice refills! I definitely had seconds of rice (haha). There are also various sauces available, all delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I went to Midtown in the afternoon and decided to eat at Hiraeda Bokujou. They offer a lunch set for 1200 yen, which is quite reasonable. I chose the 150 gram loin cutlet for 2700 yen. It took about 10 minutes to arrive. The tonkatsu looks decent and the meat seems to be of good quality, but it lacks juiciness. The rice lacks glossiness and the cabbage is not that great either. I wonder if I should have just ordered from the lunch menu. I'm sorry, maybe I set my expectations too high. Honestly, I'm disappointed.

I often go for lunch here. The lunch menu may change, but everything is delicious. Rice, cabbage, and miso soup are refillable. It's always crowded and hard to get in, so it's better to go in quickly when there's no line.

I ordered the combination of loin and hire cutlets. I had always wanted to try Hirata Farm, and it was incredibly delicious! The hire was tender and refreshing. The loin was also not greasy at all, tender and juicy! The coating was crispy without being oily. It was nice to have two types of sauce, one with salt and the other with sesame. The rice was shiny and delicious, and of course, the cabbage was fresh with tasty dressing. The only downside was that the cabbage wasn't drained well, so I hope they improve that next time. I definitely want to go back!

I have been to Hirata Farm many times. Today, during Golden Week, I went at 5 pm and was able to enter without waiting. I ordered 3 pieces of 150g each of Kinhua pork fillet cutlet for 3000 yen. It was slightly more expensive than before. Cabbage, rice, and miso soup are all-you-can-eat. There are two types of dressing for the cabbage, sesame sauce and onion-based, and I chose the latter today. It was fresh and delicious, and I quickly ate about half of it. Next, I had the main dish, the fillet cutlet. I chose the sweet sauce out of the two options. It is served in a small bowl with grated sesame. I dipped the cutlet in the sauce and ate it. It was tender, flavorful, and the coating was crispy and tasty. It tasted even better when eaten with white rice. I then sprinkled some seaweed salt on a plate and dipped the cutlet in it, which was also delicious. I prefer this over the sauce. I finished the rest of the cutlet by dipping it in the seaweed salt. I had one serving of cabbage and rice each. The quality of the meat and the way it was fried were excellent, making it a very satisfying dinner.

After Corona, our lives have returned to normal at home. His business trips have increased, which means my weekdays off from cooking dinner are slowly coming back. So, I decided to have dinner alone at a place I can stop by on my way home, Midtown. I realized that I haven't tried many places here, so I set a goal to try all the restaurants, mainly on the basement floor. This time, I chose this place because I wanted to get some protein. It's been over 15 years since I last visited Hirata Bokujou's Ebisu branch. I ordered the Thick-Cut Kurobuta Pork Loin for 2800 yen and a draft beer for 780 yen. The beer I received was incredibly delicious, with a hint of sweetness. It was so good that I couldn't resist ordering it, even though I didn't plan on drinking. The tonkatsu arrived 12 minutes after the beer. The 150g tonkatsu portion seemed a bit small, and I thought I should have ordered the 200g Rib Roast instead. I started by trying a piece from the center, seasoned with seaweed salt. The sweetness and tenderness of the pork, along with its fine texture, were outstanding. It was delicious. I found that just the salt was enough, but there were other condiments available: smoked aromatic soy sauce, tonkatsu sauce, spicy miso garlic sauce. I tried the smoked aromatic soy sauce, which had a strong smoky aroma, but when I added it to the tonkatsu, it made the fattiness more pronounced. The spicy miso garlic sauce was a good idea, but I preferred the traditional tonkatsu sauce and mustard in the end. There were also two dressings available: Japanese-style grated onion dressing and roasted sesame dressing. The Japanese-style grated onion dressing was delicious, and I didn't even feel like trying the sesame dressing because the onion dressing was so good. The shredded cabbage was fresh and crunchy, a perfect accompaniment. Overall, if you're craving tonkatsu, this place is worth a visit. During my usual routine of taking a photo of the menu before ordering, a staff member approached me and handed me a menu written in Chinese, English, and Korean. I was puzzled as to why they assumed I needed it, but apparently, they have seen foreign tourists using translation apps on their phones, and they thought I might need it too. It was a funny moment for me. If you're in the mood for tonkatsu, this place is a good choice.

At Midtown, after 12 o'clock, it's difficult to find a lunch spot without waiting in line. However, this time there was no line, so I quickly went inside. At the entrance, they checked my temperature and urged me to disinfect my hands with alcohol. Each seat had acrylic dividers. The tonkatsu sauce and dressings were neatly lined up. I ordered the weekday special, a loin cutlet set for ¥1300. The rice portion was standard, and for an additional ¥200, I could have miso soup changed to tonjiru (pork soup). The meat, from the Hirata Ranch three-way pork, had a good texture and was cooked well. The cabbage, rice, and miso soup were just the right amount. I hadn't had tonkatsu in a while, so it was a satisfying meal for ¥1300 at Midtown Roppongi.

When I went to see the illumination in Midtown, I chose it for dinner. The tenderness of the meat was as rumored, and we ordered different items to share between the two of us. So in the photo, there are other types of pork cutlets as well. The crispiness was just as it looked, and we could enjoy changing the taste by selecting sauces and salt while eating.

I have been making it a routine to wander around the Galleria on the B1F of Midtown after my regular check-up appointments (^◇^;), and on this day, after buying some souvenirs, I thought about grabbing something to eat before heading home. I knew about Hirata Bokujou (Hirata Farm) before, and I vaguely remember buying something to take away from there, but have I ever actually eaten there before!? So, since it was still early in the evening and not too crowded, I decided to give it a try. The counter-focused seating area is separated by acrylic panels. Looking at the menu, it's clear that they are very particular about the way the ingredients are raised. The menu features the "Kinkei Pork Loin and Fillet Cutlet Meal (2500 yen)", which is made from "Kinkei Pork" raised only on selected rice at Hirata Bokujou and one other place in Japan, known as the "phantom pork" due to its small size. It sounded delicious! And the set includes both the pork loin and fillet. I chose that without hesitation. I also asked to change the miso soup to tonjiru (pork miso soup) for an additional 200 yen. It turned out to be a great choice. The meal arrived in about 10 minutes. It looked delicious! There were various sauces and dressings on the table, so I tried a few. First, the crunchy agar cabbage. It's cabbage mixed with shredded agar. No wonder it's so crunchy! The Japanese-style grated onion dressing and roasted sesame dressing both went well with it. The seaweed salt was tasty on its own, and even better when mixed. The tonjiru was hearty with plenty of pork belly and very tasty! The tonkatsu was excellent. The pork loin was flavorful with high-quality fat, and the fillet was tender and juicy. The breading was crispy and remained so even after cooling down a bit. I tried the seaweed salt, original tonkatsu sauce, and spicy miso garlic sauce, and I found that the original tonkatsu sauce with mustard suited both the loin and fillet the best. The experience of dipping the crispy and juicy tonkatsu in the sauce and then quickly following it with a mouthful of white rice was pure bliss! I have visited some of the top tonkatsu restaurants, but this tonkatsu at Hirata Bokujou is on par with them in terms of taste. It may not have the distinctive features like double frying at low temperatures to achieve a pale color or the super thick cutlet that fills your mouth with delight, but the quality of the Kinkei pork is truly remarkable. Considering the price, it's no surprise that it matches the top tonkatsu restaurants. (According to reviews, they also have something like a Happy Hour, which might be quite a good deal!) By the time I left, there were several groups of customers waiting outside. Well, it's just really delicious, isn't it? I had never properly tried the tonkatsu at Hirata Bokujou before, and I had kind of imagined it to be like "Wako," but while Wako is also delicious, this tonkatsu was definitely more gourmet! It's a restaurant in a commercial facility, so there isn't much of an atmosphere, but on the other hand, it's convenient to just walk in. By the way, the Sanbonton (Three-Element Pork), this is also said to have originated from Hirata Bokujou! Next time, I'll try that one too. Thank you for the meal!

On weekdays, you can have a delicious pork cutlet set meal for 1,000 yen. It's limited to weekdays, so it may be difficult to go, but if the timing is right when you want to eat pork cutlet. The pork cutlet has a crispy coating and tender meat, making it easy to eat. Surprisingly thick, so the portion size is not a problem. The miso soup has seaweed, wheat gluten, and koji, giving it a gentle flavor that goes well with the pork cutlet. Also, the rice is delicious. *Rice and miso soup are refillable.

Tonkatsu restaurant in Tokyo Midtown! Hitara Bokujou!! There was a line during lunch time!! High expectations!! Ordered the fillet cutlet!! Was looking forward to the wait, but the fillet cutlet was not as tender as expected, it had a strange taste that I haven't really experienced before! Disappointing!

Located in the B1 floor of Tokyo Midtown Galleria, this restaurant has a casual atmosphere with a dining area on the right and a space for selling Three Premium Pork meat and side dishes on the left. The interior is clean with a mix of counter seats and table seats, and there is no greasy smell. I tried the Three Premium Pork loin and fillet cutlet set for 1500 yen, which is part of the discounted menu available from 2pm to 5pm. The cutlet comes with finely shredded cabbage with a choice of onion dressing or sesame dressing. The set includes rice, miso soup, and pickles. You can have unlimited refills of rice and miso soup. The cutlet is crispy with a deep brown color, and the breadcrumbs are large, giving it a crunchy texture with good oil drainage. The fillet is tender and light, while the loin is juicy and moist. I personally preferred eating it with sauce rather than salt. I look forward to trying the Kanaham pork cutlet next time!
