The couple of times we went past they were either closed or the line was krazy
Many shops in our area are known for their tonkatsu
And many tonkatsu shops in our area do not have all you can eat cabbage or unlimited rice
The portions at Maruyama Shokudo are pretty massive in my opinion
I ordered the katsudon without miso soup...1500 yen (tax included)
Bummed that there was about 1 inch of fat on each piece of pork on the katsu and that the rice was super mushy but I managed to finish this (and left all the fat on my plate)
He said he enjoyed this and finished his lunch way before I did
Dunno that we would go back but glad we got to try.

ReplyDeleteI wonder why tonkatsu is so popular now days. Aside from the it tastes good (duh) factor, don't think it's that healthy for you. I just started liking it after going to Japan where it's become one of my must eat stops.

Whoa, an inch of fat on the tonklatsu and mushy rice? Wonder what makes them so popular?
ReplyDeleteKirk, am thinking it is the other items on their menu like the shogayaki
ReplyDeleteTake care.
