Although ranked third among Meguro’s ‘big three’ tonkatsu restaurants, just behind Tonkatsu Katsuichi and Tonkatsu Tonki, we rate Tonkatsu Taihou more highly than either its Meguro area contemporaries or perennial Shirogane favourite, Tonkatsu Suzuki.
In fact, and although clearly of a different ilk, Taihou falls only a tad short of even Musashi Koyama’s exquisite Tonkatsu Taiyou.
Stellar cost performance aside, the succulent, juicy-pink, melt-in-your-mouth rōsu (loin) and hire (fillet) pork cutlets deep fried in light yet crunchy home-baked breadcrumbs are exceptional. For devotees and the gluttonous, premium ‘tokujō’ cuts of loin or fillet are divine. Both are best experienced as teishoku set meals complete with pickles, miso soup, rice, lemon and crispy-fresh shredded Miura cabbage.
