Katsudon from @nihonbashi_tonkatsu_hajime 🇯🇵

Been on the hunt for the best Katsudon / tonkatsu in Tokyo. There are so many good options around, from places like this and tasting menu joints to hole in the wall types and market stalls. This place is a good option for a quick, casual lunch. Just one counter but with quite a few varieties of pork tonkatsu with the ribeye and tenderloin being the most popular. The katsudon is served in a few sizes with the largest being this one at 350g. This is their best pork ribeye, panko crusted and fried till golden brown. The pork its self was really tender and well marbled. For me the golden brown panko is super important - I need the colour on a tonkatsu. It was sliced and sat upon a soft omelette and nicely cooked white rice. Really enjoyed the tonkatsu sauce here. Overall really tasty, but just way too thick to enjoy to its fullest. On the side I ordered a 180g tonkatsu which I much preferred. This was even a cheaper cut of pork, but the bite was so much better. Really tender and crispy, super easy to eat. I think going for the smaller size katsudon here is the move. The ebifurai was off the charts good. Definitely get a few of those. Overall it’s a great little spot.
