【Restaurant Name】Tonkatsu Narikura【Address】4-33-9 Narita Higashi, Suginami-ku, Tokyo【Genre】Tonkatsu【Menu】Tonkatsu Set Meal (JPY 9,900) ◾️ Tonkatsu ・Loin Cutlet ・Shabu-Brilliant Cutlet ・Millefeuille Cutlet ◾️ Fried Dishes (Choose 2 from the following) ・Chicken Cutlet ・Lamb Cutlet (+JPY 300) ・Fried Shrimp ・Menchi Cutlet ・Fried Pike Conger ※ Includes Appetizers, Side Dishes, Salad, Rice, Tonjiru (pork miso soup), and Dessert【Notes】Approximately a 4-minute walk from "Minami-Asagaya Station."This is an extremely famous restaurant that has long been regarded as one of the best in Japan for tonkatsu, and reservations are required via OMAKASE. I have visited several renowned tonkatsu restaurants, but the reviews suggest that Narikura is in a league of its own, which raised my expectations... perhaps too high (laughs).The low-temperature fried white batter is distinctive, beautifully plated, and the meat shines wonderfully. I usually eat it with sauce, but the umami is so intense that it feels like a waste to dip it in sauce because the ingredients are so delicious!The meat is tender enough to cut easily, yet it retains a satisfying meatiness, with the Shabu-Brilliant Cutlet being particularly exquisite.Eating it with rock salt and the sesame oil available on the table enhances the meat's flavor to perfection!It felt like a completely different experience from ordinary tonkatsu, truly a supreme tonkatsu! However, this evaluation takes into account the high expectations, the pricing, and the difficulty in making reservations.
