【ミックス】 : Tonkatsu Takotsubo

It's been a while since I last visited "Pork Cutlet Takotsubo", a tonkatsu specialty restaurant located directly opposite Abeno Ward Office. As the name "Takotsubo" suggests, this is a Pork Cutlet specialty restaurant run by a famous "Akashiyaki" restaurant that has been in business in Abeno for 60 years. It's a small restaurant run by a single female owner. I've had "Top Loin Pork Cutlet" and "Tonteki" before, but this time I went for the "Mix". Last time, the "Mix" that the salaryman sitting next to me was eating looked really delicious... [Mix] ~~ ... Fillet Thick and tender fillet. When it was brought to me, it was a little rare and pink inside, but as I ate more, the residual heat seemed to color it nicely... It's been a while since I've had such juicy fillet. Juices were overflowing even from the cut surface. I had it with rock salt. Shrimp Fairly sized fried shrimp. Perfectly fried... thick shrimp meat packed inside a crispy batter. I had it with homemade tartar sauce. Squid Another thick fried squid... very satisfying. I alternated between sauce and rock salt. Scallops Crispy on the outside, moist inside and full of flavor. Goes well with lemon, and I think rock salt is best... it was packed with the flavor of the shellfish... The glossy rice was also delicious... I'm sure they use good quality rice. The red miso soup is delicious with lots of ingredients such as konjac, fried tofu, enoki mushrooms, daikon radish, carrots, and mitsuba... The salad is also plentiful, and acts as a palate cleanser for the fried foods. What's best about it is that it is garnished with colorful edible flowers... They are grown without any pesticides, and are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. For an additional 200 yen, you can also get more flowers... Rock salt, Pork Cutlet sauce, and tartar sauce are prepared on the partitioned plate. The dressing bottles are stylish, aren't they? This is another aspect that only a woman can have... (*^_^*) Thank you for the meal. "Pork Cutlet Takotsubo (Mixed) @ Abeno Ward" http://hashidamen.blog46.fc2.com/blog-entry-4079.html

The restaurant is located directly across from Abeno Ward Office... "Pork Cutlet Takotsubo"...I was impressed by the thick Pork Cutlet last time, so I decided to visit again. As the name "Takotsubo" suggests, this restaurant is run by a famous "Akashiyaki" restaurant that has been in business for 60 years in Abeno, Pork Cutlet and is a specialty restaurant. I was a no-guest inside the store as it was just after opening... but I had actually passed by the store several times... As you can see from the picture, there are three counters and two tables for two people, but the space for each person is quite small.... To put it nicely, it is a small and clean restaurant, but when there is a large number of people in the restaurant, I think it would be hard even in this day and age.... The restaurant is run by a single woman, and the POP is very cute. I had already decided what I was going to order today from the very beginning... I was looking for "Tonteki" which I was very interested in last time... Tonteki] ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ I was surprised when it was brought in front of me... The picture on the menu looked like a reasonable volume, but what's with this super-thick meat? (O☆O☆) That's because Pork Cutlet is that thick. I wonder if the meat used for Tonteki is this powerful... Tonteki means "pork Steak"... Ton (pork), teki (Steak)... The pork loin is tender and is covered with a sweet and spicy sauce with a hint of garlic. The sauce is based on soy sauce and mirin, with a hint of oyster sauce. The garlic chips sprinkled on top add a savory accent to the dish. The fat from the loin is sweet, making it my ideal tonteki. It goes great with rice, too. It is very rare to find such a good tonteki... The arrangement of brightly colored "edible flowers" on top of the generous amount of shredded cabbage is also a nice touch... The flowers are made without pesticides and are said to be rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. I feel that this is also a woman's thing.... The red miso soup was delicious and filling, and the large serving of rice was a nice touch. （The aka-dashi (red soup stock) is delicious and filling, and the large serving of rice is a nice touch. The generous portion gave me a good feeling of fullness. Next time, I would like to try the "mix". Pork Cutlet Takotsubo (Tontoki) @ Abeno Ward" http://hashidamen.blog46.fc2.com/blog-entry-4056.html

A tonkatsu specialty restaurant located directly opposite Abeno Ward Office... "Pork Cutlet Takotsubo"... I was told about it by one of our regular customers... I was looking forward to going there because I heard it was very high quality. At first glance, it looks like a small restaurant, but when you look inside through the glass on the side, it doesn't seem so stuffy... The menu with photos posted in front of the restaurant... Everything looks delicious, but the prices are quite high... But the customers were raving about it, so it must be worth the price... Let's go in... The inside of the restaurant doesn't have the atmosphere of an old man in a white coat, but it's smaller than I imagined, simple and well-cleaned... There are three counter seats and two two-person tables... It seems to be run by a friendly woman. I sat at the counter seat near the entrance, but the space for each person is quite narrow. It was not crowded on this day, but it might be quite tough if it's crowded... (^^;) [Top Loin Pork Pork Cutlet] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just looking at the picture on the menu, it's a pork cutlet made with thick loin meat that looks like it would take a long time to fry, so it will take a fair amount of time to cook... I'm also interested in the "Special Loin Pork Pork Cutlet," but 2,000 yen for lunch is a bit steep, so I'll start with the top loin pork Pork Cutlet. I was surprised when the food was brought out...The presentation was really feminine...The cross Pork Cutlet section of the thick pork cutlet was impressive, but it was topped with plenty of shredded cabbage and colorful "edible flowers." This is nice...By the way, I asked for a large portion of rice. They use domestic pork, so the meat is chewy, juicy, and satisfying... The fat, which is the best part of loin, is sweet, and the crispness of the coating is wonderful... They use "cottonseed oil" from Osaka, so it's worth the price... I think it's quite filling. The bottle of dressing is stylish, isn't it? I also like the combination of sauce and mustard... I prefer this to a weird demi-glace... But personally, I think it tastes best with rock salt. The shredded cabbage is also quite filling... The "edible flowers" on top are completely pesticide-free and rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber... You can also add more flowers for an additional 200 yen. I think these toppings are gorgeous and nice... Hehe... I like having a large portion of rice... The rice was delicious, and even if I ordered a large portion, it was the same price. This is a great restaurant... The red miso soup with lots of ingredients was also delicious... Before I entered the restaurant, I thought it was a little expensive, but after eating, I understood why it was so expensive. I'll definitely visit again... Next time I'd like to try the "mix" or "tonkaki". Thank you for the meal. "Pork Cutlet Takotsubo (top loin pork Pork Cutlet) @ Abeno Ward" http://hashidamen.blog46.fc2.com/blog-entry-3992.html
