Editorial Review

Long-time local Japanese favorite sports a constant line for the panko-crusted, deep-fried tonkatsu specialty; the retro space of this original near Omotesando Station appeals (there are three other branches), but the classic pork cuts, as well as shrimp cream croquettes, hit the spot; take it up a notch with a bowl of tonjiru (miso soup with pork).
