Enjoy a kitchen tour and prix fixe meal at one of Tokyo’s premier tonkatsu specialty restaurants.

Join us on a tour of one of Tokyo’s most popular tonkatsu specialty restaurants. Our host/restaurant owner spent the bulk of his career as a chef specializing in French cuisine. While perfecting the art and technique of traditional French cooking, he developed great insights into the light, tender, flavorful potential of pork. With these insights, he has developed a method of preparing pork cutlets that breaks the stereotype of them being heavy and unhealthy. Our host’s original restaurant in Chiba became instantly popular for its light, crispy tonkatsu and served capacity crowds daily. He operates the current, equally popular restaurant location in Tokyo alongside his wife.
