khiemtranStep inside Katsukura for some famous tonkatsu...
Katsukura is a Japanese restaurant chain specialising in katsu or deep-fried, breaded meat. The most famous of these is tonkatsu, using pork cutlets, but they also offer deep-fried prawns, beef and croquettes. Even if you just settle on tonkatsu you will still get the choice of which cut of pork and how many grams it will weigh.
Since katsu is this place is all about, whatever you order will come with unlimited tea, barley rice, miso soup and shredded cabbage (thought to be the best accompaniment to deep-fried meat).
As soon as you order, you'll be set to work grinding your sesame (goma) for your tonkatsu sauce. Everyone gets their own little mortar and pestle like this.
Each table has three different sauces. One has hot tonkatsu sauce, one has mild and one has a dressing for the shredded cabbage.
I've ordered the basic set - tonkatsu and ebi (prawn) katsu. Now to add the freshly ground goma and the appropriate sauces (I think I preferred the mild sauce over the spicy sauce, but they were both nice).
They looked huge when they came, but they're so delicious they're gone in a heartbeat. Just as well there's bottomless cabbage and rice.
