TOKYO FOOD TOUR | EAT TONKATSU
This breaded, deep fried pork cutlet served with a bowl of rice, miso soup and shredded cabbage will leave you dreaming about it for days. Maisen in Tokyo has been serving tonkatsu since 1965. They fry up different types of pork’s and also serve their signature tonkatsu sandwich - a must try along with your meal. Their specialty kurobuta pork, or Japanese black pork is from the Berkshire pig which is prepped with care so that every bite is juicy and tender. Every chef at a Maisen is required to go through their tonkatsu school to learn all about tonkatsu and how to properly prepare it to leave a lasting impression.
