Asakusa tonkatsu Yutaka
Welcome to Tonkatsu Yutaka, a historic tonkatsu restaurant in Asakusa founded in 1945.
Located near the famous Kaminarimon Gate, we have been serving traditional Japanese pork cutlets in the heart of Asakusa for over 80 years.
Away from the busy streets of the sightseeing area, our restaurant offers a calm and traditional Japanese atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy their meal.
Tonkatsu is one of the most beloved examples of Japanese-style Western cuisine, known in Japan as “Yoshoku.”
At Tonkatsu Yutaka, we continue to preserve this unique part of Japanese food culture through traditional cooking techniques and carefully selected ingredients.
Our specialty tonkatsu is known for its light and crispy texture that does not feel heavy.
Each cutlet is carefully prepared using premium branded pork, homemade breadcrumbs, high-quality cottonseed oil, and traditional cooking techniques passed down through generations.
The combination of crisp texture and the natural sweetness of the pork creates a truly authentic Japanese dining experience.
As a classic dish of Japanese-style Western cuisine, tonkatsu reflects the unique evolution of Japanese culinary culture in Tokyo.
In addition to tonkatsu, we also offer Japanese dishes such as sashimi, yakitori, and seasonal side dishes.
With both table seating and tatami seating available, guests can enjoy traditional Japanese hospitality in a warm and welcoming setting.
Whether you are visiting Asakusa for sightseeing, lunch, dinner, or a traditional Japanese meal, we warmly welcome you to Tonkatsu Yutaka.
