I finally had the chance to visit Tonkatsu Narikura after a long time!This renowned restaurant is well-known among tonkatsu lovers nationwide. Since its days in Takadanobaba, it has maintained its unique status and continues to be a popular choice even after relocating to Minami-Asagaya, making reservations quite difficult. The tonkatsu, with its white batter cooked slowly at low temperatures, is a masterpiece that can only be created by Narikura-san.Narikura's tonkatsu truly embodies the essence of "tonkatsu that lets you savor the meat." The light and crispy batter plays a supporting role, while the star is the pork itself. With every bite, the rich flavor of the high-quality red meat and the sweetness of the fat fill your mouth, allowing you to fully enjoy the pork's inherent potential.Instead of finishing the flavor with sauce like typical tonkatsu, I recommend enjoying the meat on its own first, then enhancing its taste with salt. Despite being a fried dish, it doesn’t feel heavy at all, allowing you to enjoy it comfortably until the end—this is what makes Narikura special."Tonkatsu that lets you savor the meat" perfectly describes this representative tonkatsu restaurant in Japan. It had been a while since my last visit, but I was once again impressed by the high level of quality.It was a great meal!
