Tonkatsu Den: Tokyo’s Premier Destination for Crispy, Affordable Tonkatsu & Izakaya Vibes
Tonkatsu Den is a specialty restaurant renowned for its tonkatsu, primarily located in the Edogawa ward of Tokyo. Its name is said to be inspired by the rural landscape of the ward in the 1950s. The hallmark of Tonkatsu Den is its meticulously prepared tonkatsu crafted from carefully selected ingredients. Undoubtedly, the highlight of Tonkatsu Den lies in the deliciousness of its tonkatsu. Particularly noteworthy is the crispy and succulent texture of the freshly fried tonkatsu, leaving patrons thoroughly satisfied.
The surprise of being able to enjoy such delectable tonkatsu for around 1,000 yen, along with its high cost-effectiveness, has garnered considerable acclaim. During our recent visit to the Toyosu branch, we found it conveniently located just a minute’s walk from Toyosu Station, situated on the first floor of Toyosu Foresia.
While operating as a tonkatsu specialty restaurant during the day, Tonkatsu Den transforms into an izakaya setting in the evening, offering various skewered delicacies. With counter seating available and a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and accompanying dishes, it’s an ideal spot for a casual solo drink.
