Hirekatsu (fillet cutlet)
Although not our favourite Meguro tonkatsu-ya, Tonki is undoubtedly the most venerated, still going strong after eighty years of serving tasty, if somewhat dated, breaded pork cutlets.
Spread across two floors, the ground floor dining counter fronting the open kitchen provides the most entertaining and Shōwa-esque experience, allowing for an intimate view of the thrice-dipped frying process (sealing in moisture, fat and flavour) for which Tonki’s cutlets are famed.
Immensely popular, lunchtime and evening queues are to be expected.
