About this spot
Skip the tourist traps and head here for the Okinawa Shochu Pig Special Rib Whole Fried, a massive 500g slab of crispy pork that redefines tonkatsu. The Thick-cut Pork Loin Katsu is equally impressive, offering a juicy interior encased in a shatteringly crisp breading that stands out even in Asakusa.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the Okinawa Shochu Pig Special Rib Whole Fried if you want to share a feast with a friend or have an appetite for a full 500g challenge.
- Ask for extra tonkatsu sauce on the side to dip into the Thick-cut Pork Loin Katsu without sogging up the breading immediately.
- Come hungry, as the portions here are substantial and designed to be a hearty main meal rather than a light snack.
