Quotes

"Starting with one of the most unique and amazing tonkatsu restaurants I've ever been to."

"All right, first meal of the day, this is a really popular tonkatsu place, where the tonkatsu's supposed to be super, super thick and super juicy."

"Oh my God, this might be one of the greatest cutlery experiences I've ever had in Japan. Mm, oh, it's so wonderful. The pork is smooth. The outside batter is incredibly light."

"This is some of the juiciest cutlery you will ever bite into. The pork is incredibly tender, and you can taste the quality of the meat. And when you bite into it, oh, that thing, beautiful crunch. It's just a waterfall of juice. You taste the sweetness of the meat."

"Pork is almost indescribable. The contrast between that crispy outer shell, the sweet interior, it's just pure poetic harmony. Like, you taste zero gameiness from the pork. It tastes so cool and sweet."

"Everything about it, the outer breading to the meat, tastes so light and delicious. This is an absolute, absolute must try."

"Oh, this place is just pure magic. If you love katsu, you gotta give this place a try."

IYOSHI COLA Asakusa Rokku

Tokyo

Jack's Dining Room

"At Iyoshi Cola Asakusa Rokku, the reviewer is drawn in by the promise of homemade cola and the spectacle of unusual ingredients like pit viper being infused into the drink. The experience is both novel and refreshing, with the reviewer—normally not a soda fan—declaring it the greatest cola they've ever tried. The quirky presentation and high price add to the sense of exclusivity and adventure, making it a memorable Tokyo stop."

"So it's the Ozaki bone broth that they put in there. I think it's magical. Bone broth mixed with the fat and the vegetable remnant that's been cooking on that grill all night."

"About to get on subway to go home, but saw this dumpling shop. Every time I see a dumpling shop or a Chinese restaurant, I usually look it up, see the location. And this place is really popular. So I wanted to try their dumplings, so I got eight of them. Four of them came with their regular broth and four of them came with their spicy broth."

"At JB's TOKYO, the reviewer is swept into an electrifying, exclusive dining adventure. The Wagyu beef burger is described as the craziest burger they've ever seen, with an atmosphere that feels both secretive and high-end. The meal is intense and heavy, leaving a lasting impression of decadence and excess. The reviewer is both awed and overwhelmed, emphasizing the sheer richness and power of the food."

"At Hachigou, the experience is intimate and deeply personal, with the chef preparing each bowl of ramen right before your eyes. The reviewer was captivated by the chef's technique, from the quick cooking of the noodles to the careful assembly of toppings like foie gras, pork, and egg. The broth struck a lighter note, and the pork added a welcome richness. The chef's warmth and passion left a lasting impression, elevating the entire meal."
