Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Saboten Futako Tamagawa Rise

Love going to this location, you can hop on the denentoshi express line and it gets you there pretty quickly. It’s in a very nice area and lots to do without being overwhelmed with central Tokyo crowds. It is also less expensive than the location near Sky Tree or in Shinjuku. Usually a wait during dinner time and you need to add your name to a list at the front and the size of your party. Free miso refills (red miso with mushroom), rice and cabbage. Hot tea during cold months and cold tea during warmer months. I recommend ordering from the pick 2-3 menu. I usually order the hirekatsu and chicken cheese. Always crispy, juicy and fresh. I like coming to this chain sometimes over Wako because they have a delicious sesame dressing you can pour over your cabbage and toasted sesame seeds you came crush and add to your katsu sauce.

Modern restaurant with delicious traditional dishes. The panko crumb coating is super light and crispy.

Got the katsudon and it was perfect. Nice and tender katsu and the way it soaks up the sauce is very delicious. Comes with free refills of the salad.
