Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin@ION

Taken from ION's website:

Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin is a Tokyo Ginza-based specialty Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) restaurant offering a variety of signature dishes that have been kept true for three generations.

1927? that's a long history....but is the taste still as original? :P

Established in 1927, Ginza Bairin was the first Tonkatsu restaurant in Ginza, as well as the first to offer the now popular "Bite-Size Katsu (Hitokuchi Katsu), "Tonkatsu Sauce" and the "Katsu Sandwich" (Katsu Sando).

At Ginza Bairin, the main ingredient "pork" is carefully selected from the choicest loin, coated in our traditional bread crumb seasoning and masterfully deep fried in premium salad oil to retain and highlight its award-winning texture, aroma and flavor. Coupled with Tonkatsu, we offer our signature "Tonkatsu Sauce" a blend of spices, fresh fruits and vegetables bringing out the natural sweetness and robust flavor.

my yummy bowl... the egg makes it sooo appetizing :)
