Best Tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet) @ Tonkatsu Hasegawa Higashi Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

We wandered around the Ginza area on our first night in Tokyo, craving some tonkatsu (pork cutlet) for dinner. The initial spot we chose was bustling with a long queue, prompting us to explore further. On our way back to the hotel, we stumbled upon a small, quaint tonkatsu shop with no wait time. Specializing solely in tonkatsu, it was an easy decision to dine there.

Our order included the super deluxe tonkatsu, tonkatsu curry, and a tonkatsu don (pork cutlet bowl). The meal began with shredded cabbage and a side of seaweed and pickles, complemented by a refreshing onion vinaigrette dressing. The super deluxe tonkatsu was juicy, moist, and crunchy, perfectly paired with a sprinkle of salt or Tatsu sauce. The fluffy rice served as a delightful accompaniment. The curry katsu, featuring a medium curry sauce, offered a nice balance of flavors without overwhelming spice. The last dish, the tonkatsu don (pork cutlet bowl), stood out with its sweet soy seasoning, adding another layer of flavor to the already delicious tonkatsu.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Tokyo. Below are the details for your convenience. Enjoy your dining experience!
