Tonzen - Tonkatsu Restaurant
とん膳成田店
(just outside of Aeon Mall)
Opens at 11am

Tonzen is located just opposite from AEON mall’s daiso.
Tonzen specializes in fried matsusaka pork. *Matsusaka pork's most acclaimed characteristic of our pork is its high percentage of collagen in the fat, a whopping 70%, making it great for beauty care. When cooked or grilled, Matsusaka pork doesn’t shrink or get tough; the meat stays beautifully tender and smooth.*
They do have beef and prawn tempura as well but its primarily known for their pork.

Beef Katsu and Ebi

 *Having been so impressed with the fatty pork cut, I thought that I'd give a go with the beef cutlet. However, it fell way short of expectations. Although, visually it is beautiful with a glistening moist center, medium rare center, the beef flavor was lacking. Texturally, although it melted away, its just the taste of fat. Not even the good kind, like beef fat. The prawns weren't much to scream about either. Although the fry on both are very light and well executed, I'd rather stick to the original, fatty loin cutlet. Tried and tested, guaranteed good!
Total ¥1980+ for my beef ebi order.

Fatty loin cutlet set ¥1680(+tax) total ¥2030

The set comes with choice of white/black and clam/pork miso soup.
The condiments were already pretty impressive with a choice of carrot or sesame dressing. You get fresh sesame seeds for one to grind and add either a sweet or spicy dipping sauce to go with your pork cutlet.


*Just wow! The smell from the freshly fried pork, presented,already angled for a picturesque and delicious meal to come. The fat distribution was just right. Not over bearing that may make the dish too rich. Tender, delicious with a crispy fried exterior. The fatty cut serving was just nice or a tad slightly over for a single eater.  Perfect with the free flow of salad with choice of sesame or carrot dressing. An incredibly satisfying meal*
Fed1 very well at ¥2030

The best tonkatsu (Fried Pork cutlet) had thus far and said to be superior to tonkatsu joint located inside the mall. Its got a cozy interior and can accommodate large groups with various order choices to suit every eater. They have fried beef and prawns as well! A must try!
