Tonkatsu; とんき（Tonki）

There many delicious Japanese foods such as Sushi,Ramen,Tempura,Shabushabu.

Tonkatsu is one of the most famous Japanese foods.
Have you ever eaten Tonkatsu?
Tonkatsu is a deep fried pork loin or pork medallion with flour, egg and bread crumbs.
Even though many foreign people have a good image of health and low calorie about Japanese foods , Tonkatsu isn’t included in it. But Tonkatsu is a popular food not only for Japanese people but also for visitors from abroad
This time Tokyo Geishas will introduce a Tonkatsu's restaurant“Tonki”that is legendary in Meguro in Tokyo.

 “Tonki”is a well-known restaurant among foodies who live in Tokyo.
The restaurant is established in 1939 and has been 76 years. If you were here, you might feel good old atmosphere at the restaurant.

Customers are taking a seat that surrounds the dining kitchen, watching craftsmen who are cooking Tonkatsu. It is an enjoyable time to watch to cook Tonkatsu, while waiting their Tonkatsu.
In the end, customers can see a craftsman who have great skills to cut Tonkatsu.
The restaurant provides a menu in English. Many foreign people visit and order easily. Main menu is “ Rousukatsu”(Deep fried pork loin) ‟Hirekatsu”(Deep fried pork medallion)”.
Tokyo Geisha recommends  to order “ Rousukatsu”(Deep fried pork loin) ” , if it is first time to visit.

‟“ Rousukatsu”(Deep fried pork loin) ”

‟Hirekatsu”(Deep fried pork medallion)”

 

Deep fried flour that added pork is nice and crispy. Tonkatsu is very juicy and good taste with sauce.
Customers can order julienne cabbage and miso soup and rice as much as you can eat.Craftsmen ask them what they want it more or not, it is good time for customers to ask them.Craftsmen are very polite to customers and have hospitality.
Everything is great. Especially miso soup (‟Tonjiru”) is good taste.

By the way, students preparing for an exam have a habit of eating ‟Tonkatsu”. Because the pronunciation is same.“Katsu” means winning.
