Narita, Chiba, Japan｜Tonkatsu TON-Q

You’ll love it! The staff are all smiles and friendly and it doesn’t feel performative like in most places and the food is excellent. It’s a little expensive compared to similar restaurants, because they supposedly use higher quality meats and fish, but it’s the atmosphere that sets this place apart from the others. You’ll remember eating here.

Everybody knows the quality differences with beef. I now know that difference with pork! Yamato pork, tonkatsu cutlet! The outer layer so cacklingly crispy it reverberates to the inner ear, giving way to a tender but firm morsel of perfectly cooked meat, every bite coating the palette with a rendered juice so rich and nutty in flavor that one could believe the Yamato pork was fed only cachew nuts. Added with a generous assortment of condiments including a delicious in-house carrot dressing. Poured on top of sliced cabbage and eaten after a bite of tonkatsu, the sweet and sour acidity of the dressing and the fresh zing of green cabbage balancing perfectly with the pork. With a selection of elevated white rice and soups to complete the set one would think it quite more expensive then the reasonable price they offer!

Staffs are so very kind with lovely smiling face♥️
