About this spot
Tonkatsu Aoki Ginza 8 Chome Ten delivers the gold standard for pork cutlets with a signature panko crust that shatters into perfect, golden flakes upon the first bite. The house-special Katsudon is a masterclass in balance, featuring a thick loin cutlet simmered in a savory dashi broth over steamed rice without ever becoming soggy. This basement spot in Ginza maintains a brisk, no-nonsense atmosphere where locals queue for lunch precisely because the meat quality remains consistently tender.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Hire' (loin) cutlet if you prefer leaner meat, but choose 'Rosu' (shoulder) for a richer, fattier texture that melts in your mouth.
- Ask for extra tonkatsu sauce on the side to avoid oversaturating the crispy breading before your first bite.
- Arrive by 11:30 AM to secure a seat at the counter during the packed lunch rush, as tables fill up within minutes of opening.
