Tonkatsu Aoki We adhere strictly to the Zen-monten philosophy, or the philosophy of being a specialty store. Our core principle begins with carefully selecting high-quality pork with the perfect balance of fat and lean meat. This is then prepared using a unique frying technique that requires precise control of both oil temperature and timing. The result is a golden, crispy exterior with a tender, juicy interior that retains the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
Our most distinctive feature is that we are the first in Japan to introduce pork cutlets served with salt instead of just sauce. We carefully select premium-grade salts from various sources and offer three varieties for our customers to choose from. This brings out the sweetness of the pork and fat to the fullest, providing a unique and clean taste experience. This secret has captivated many, making them return for more.
In addition to the meticulous selection of pork and salt, every element on the plate—from the perfectly cooked Japanese rice to the finely shredded cabbage and the rich, flavorful miso soup—has been carefully crafted to complement the tonkatsu perfectly. Every step is meticulously cared for with the same standards as our Tokyo branch, ensuring that every bite you enjoy is the ultimate premium tonkatsu, filled with quality and care.✨
