Kurobuta Tonkatsu
When you break through the crunchy coating, the cross-section reveals a pale pink hue. The moment your chopsticks pierce it, fine juices overflow. The fat is sweet, yet the aftertaste remains light—this is the essence of Kagoshima Kurobuta Tonkatsu. This traditional brand of pork has a history of approximately 400 years and is raised on a diet including sweet potatoes. The meat texture is moist and fine-grained, and because the melting point of the fat is low, it is characterized by its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth quality. In Kagagoshima City, many specialty tonkatsu restaurants line the streets, all committed to pure Kurobuta pork. Some even intentionally finish the meat with a pale pink color to bring out its natural umami. With sauce, with salt, or with mustard. Please enjoy an authentic slice.
