Mochi Buta Tonkatsu Taiyo
Japanese
The pork variety comes first, literally, written into the restaurant's name before anything else gets a say. This is a tonkatsu shop built around Mochibuta, a domestic breed prized for tender meat and fat that stays clean on the palate. The cutlets go into vegetable oil over a low, unhurried flame, which keeps the crust light rather than greasy. The chef works the pots with near-religious focus. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and sits beside the Musashikoyama arcade.
