Tonkatsu Fujii

In tonkatsu, the chef expresses the knowledge and passion for pork he cultivated in French cuisine. The blackboard-decorated interior creates a bistro vibe. Sauces feature red wine; the batter is flavoured with vanilla. Recalling his days as a high school baseball player, the chef’s cooking wear is in the style of a baseball uniform. ‘JAPAN’ is inscribed on the sleeve, signalling that this tonkatsu rookie aims to be Japan’s No. 1.
