Salmon Tonkatsu at Tonkatsu Akira Shibuya

WOW.

I forgot how I first discovered this place but we stoped by and absolutely loved it. We ordered two types of the “traditional” pork tonkatsu along with their special salmon tonkatsu.

The pork was tender, soft, juicy, breaded perfectly and fried well, and came out hot.

But that salmon. Wow. It’s such a unique way to serve salmon and tonkatsu. Perfectly fried, and cooked just slightly kind of like a seared tuna. The salmon melts in your mouth while keeping its shape until you eat it.

Reasonable prices too, I think for all three plates we paid about 5,000 yen
