Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜Butagumi Shokudo

The waiting line on Friday night was short and moved fast, so don’t be put off by it. The Tonkatsu is worth the wait, as the chef is very professional and passionate about his food. Sit at the counter and you can watch him work as you enjoy a host of side dishes that come with this delicious and succulent meat. Cabbage was so tasty with the vinaigrette, too! Order the premium pork and ask where it comes from on the island- all is local of course. We went back a second time and it was even better! Also, thanks for the cabbage dressing recipe!!

The tonkatsu here is truly exceptional, one of the best I've ever had. The small tomatoes are also surprisingly delightful, exceeding my expectations.

pretty good tonkatsu place, it’s located in B2F, take the escalator down and you can see the place straight away. was there around 2pm and a bit of a lineup and we’re able to get in before it closes at 3pm (re-opens at 5:30pm). had the regular loin, it was very tender and not oily. the sides were standard cabbage, miso. english menu is available and service was good.
