Dinner at とんかつマンジェ

in osaka, japan (jan’24)

visited two tonkatsu shops this time in osaka, first was this long standing tonkatsu shop south-west osaka, on the outskirts of the city, where they take daily sign-ups from 8:30am in store to then return at the allocated times.

i was utterly disappointed here, ordered a half and half set course of their deluxe hi-re (fillet) with my choice of the tokyo-x loin. as they were the pioneer shop which used tokyo-x and with their accolades, i had some levels of expectations.... More

i was utterly disappointed here, ordered a half and half set course of their deluxe hi-re (fillet) with my choice of the tokyo-x loin. as they were the pioneer shop which used tokyo-x and with their accolades, i had some levels of expectations. but the batter was rough and thick, with some residual batter inside the coating yet to be fried. the pork quality itself was good, seasoning was underwhelming and relied entirely on the choice of charcoal salt or white truffle salt. the set lunch with additional costs was served with rice, miso soup, salad. a shop which i believe much passed it’s ‘peak visiting time’, i think chef has lost his passion when visiting, and many other new and rising tonkatsu shops have surpassed his level. not worth the line, the travel nor the price.

Dinner at とんかつマンジェ

とんかつマンジェ
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a place for die hard tonkatsu enthusiasts. Focusing in the special cross breed pork, TOKYO-X. Comprised of a cross of Berkshire, Duroc and Beijing Black breeds... which has been bred for 5 generations. A lot of effort required to eat here, including going to the outskirts of Osaka early, signing up at 730am and killing 3.5 hours of time. Tasty yes, but I don't think I will do that again

Lunch at Manger (とんかつ マンジェ)

on 25 Jun 2020

Fantastic Tonkatsu in Osaka. They feature six different porks including an Iberico in various cuts. In addition you can have some fancy ones with foie gras or cheese.
Usually there is a long line but at least you can put your name down and go for a walk.
