Historic tonkatsu counter

Tonki, a historic tonkatsu specialist in Shimomeguro, Tokyo, has been serving up its renowned pork cutlets since 1939. Known for its flagship location's large open-kitchen counter, diners can watch the choreographed precision of cooks as they prepare set meals centered on rosu and hire cuts. The light-wood interior retains a 1970s vibe, adding to the nostalgic dining atmosphere.
