The breading on their pork cutlet is super crispy, and the meat inside stays tender—not tough at all. They use Kagoshima black pork, which has great quality. There's some marbling, but it's not greasy.

“Ginza Bairin” is a famous tonkatsu restaurant that was founded in 1927. One of the reasons for its popularity is that its founder, a former pharmacist, developed the original chuno sauce (the sauce used on pork katsu).
The restaurant uses specially selected ingredients such as Kagoshima Black Pork, which features tender meat and Yamagata Tsuya Hime rice which matches tonkatsu very well.
In addition to set meals including tonkatsu and rice, the hirekatsu (fillet) sandwich and the katsudon (tonkatsu and egg on rice) are very popular menu items.
Presently, there are locations in Ginza, Haneda Airport, and even overseas.

The pork cutlet is marinated in miso, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried to perfection—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. The flavor is amazing, way better than your average chain tonkatsu place.

My family loves pork cutlet, so I always bring them here to try it out. This place is super tasty and offers great value for the price.
