When you feel like eating tonkatsu, this is the place to go. My favorite tonkatsu. It's the Agedzuki-san's premium Okinawan pork loin cutlet. This is it. This, this. A tonkatsu that is cooked slowly at a low temperature with the skilled technique of the owner. The overwhelming deliciousness that continues from the first bite to the last bite no matter how many times you eat it is insane. It's been three months since I last ate at Agedzuki-san, and this time, the first bite was so deliciously frightening that I almost cried. This tonkatsu doesn't need salt. It's perfect as it is. It's tastier without adding anything. I asked for it without rice again, but it's my limit of self-control. Next time, I will definitely have it with rice. Okinawan pork is the best. Personal announcement. I've been blogging for a while, but I've also started posting on YouTube. I'm uploading videos of making hot sandwiches and eating out, so please come and visit. By the way, here's my blog. Mainly gourmet articles, diary entries, diet-related topics, I write about everything as it is. Please come and visit.

Kagurazaka is an area that is only lively at night, but on a certain weekday, I had to pick up something I lost at the Metropolitan Police Department Lost and Found Center in Iidabashi. So, I thought, why not have a delicious lunch around here! Among the various Kagurazaka lunch options I had been curious about, I visited "Agedzuki" this time. It is located near Iidabashi Station, in Kagurazaka. It is on the basement floor of a building facing Kagurazaka Street, just a little up from Kagurazaka. I arrived right at the opening time of 11:30 am, so I could enter without waiting, but by the time I left, there was a line all the way up the stairs... It's incredibly popular. I was here for the rare Miyazaki-branded pork "Nan no Shima Buta" that is not often found in Tokyo. It is a crossbreed of Okinawan Agu pork, known for its marbling, and the Red Pork (Duroc), with a lower melting point and sweet fat. I ordered the Nan no Shima Buta special loin katsu for 2,640 yen without hesitation! As it is limited in quantity, it was sold out by the time I left, so it seems coming early is the best way to enjoy it. As advertised, it took about 30 minutes for the tonkatsu to arrive after ordering, cooked at low temperature for a long time. I patiently waited while reading documents. The tonkatsu that came out was beautifully coated in white crumbs, with a slightly pinkish center. Hmm, it looks delicious! The restaurant also recommends eating it with rock salt, so I followed their advice and tried a bite with rock salt and mustard. The coating was crispy and white! (I was slightly concerned that it might have absorbed too much oil.) The meat was very tender due to the low-temperature frying, and the rich fat of this Nan no Shima Buta was super sweet! It was delicious! The fluffy rice served here paired perfectly with it! I savored each bite of cabbage, rice, and loin. I also tried their special tonkatsu sauce, but since the Nan no Shima Buta was so flavorful, eating it with rock salt allowed me to fully appreciate the pork's taste until the end. Even though I thought I was eating slowly and savoring it, I finished it in 10 minutes after waiting for 30 minutes... It was a moment! Haha, it was delicious! Thank you for the meal! I will definitely come back!

Whenever I come to Iidabashi, there's always a long line at Agezuki-san. Surprisingly, there was no wait today even though it's the weekend, so I changed my plans and decided to go in. We were lucky to be the last group seated at the counter. We asked the staff for recommendations and both ordered the specialty dish, "Southern Island Pork Loin Cutlet." It was 2050 yen for the set meal, with an additional 400 yen. The set meal included rice, miso soup, pickles, and potato salad. You can get one free refill of rice and cabbage. The pickles and potato salad were served promptly and the potato salad was delicious. The pork cutlet took quite a while to come out, it seems they fry it twice at a low temperature. After a 40-minute wait, it finally arrived. It was a bit boring as the signal was weak underground and my phone couldn't get reception (laughs). The appearance was not the typical white tonkatsu look. When I sprinkled rock salt on it and took a bite, it was so delicious that I couldn't help but say WOW!! The wait was worth it. The tonkatsu pairs perfectly with the rock salt!! There was also sauce, but I highly recommend the rock salt. There was a generous amount of cabbage. The dressing seemed to be made with shiso. The miso soup was red miso with clams. Tonkatsu tends to get heavy towards the end, but this tonkatsu remained delicious and exquisite until the last bite. It's a bit pricey, but I want to go back for more. It's good to be prepared to wait even after entering and to go with plenty of time. I wonder where I'll go for my next meal. Bokuboku boku~ (^・∞・^)

I was looking for a lunch spot in Kagurazaka and found information about a famous restaurant, so I decided to visit. It was 1:00 PM on a Sunday, so I was prepared for a long wait, but there were only 3 groups ahead of me, so I lined up. They handle pork from the southern islands, a brand I had never heard of before, so I was excited to order the pork cutlet set. The pork cutlet was fantastic, with a wonderfully juicy texture. The breading was light and crispy, providing a satisfying yet easy-to-eat cutlet. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

▪️Skillfully cooked low-temperature tonkatsu▪️I visited for a holiday lunch. I ordered the loin cutlet. The salt and sauce were a perfect match, and after just one bite, I felt compelled to get a rice refill. It's really tender and delicious. With each bite, the pork fat releases a sweet juice that spreads in your mouth. I thought it would be even more pleasant if the whole staff had more smiles.

I visited the restaurant at 11:40 when the lunch break for general companies begins, but there was already a wait for 4 groups. The interior of the restaurant is calm, reminiscent of a small Japanese-style restaurant. I ordered the pork cutlet set meal (1650 yen). It took about 15 minutes from ordering to arrival because they prepare each dish carefully. When it arrived, I was served a generous portion of shredded cabbage and piping hot pork cutlet. The red miso soup also deserves high praise. I was surprised when I took the first bite without adding anything - the meat wrapped in crispy breading was incredibly tender and the fat was sweet! It was the first time I could enjoy tonkatsu so refreshingly. It was delicious without being heavy, and when I added salt, sauce, or mustard, it transformed and became even better. The price is a bit on the higher side for tonkatsu, but it's worth it. I would even be willing to pay a bit more to visit this place again. It was a restaurant that truly impressed me.

I used it for lunch. When I arrived after 12 o'clock, it was just full, so I had to wait for about 10 minutes before I could enter. I placed my order in advance and chose the pork cutlet set meal. It took about 15 minutes to be served. As for the taste, it was incredibly juicy, tender, and very delicious! It was fried at a low temperature, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat! There was some fat, but it wasn't heavy at all and was easy to eat. The red miso soup was also carefully prepared with a delicious broth.

I visited with a friend on Sunday afternoon. We lined up 20 minutes before opening and were seated promptly. The atmosphere inside was more casual than I had expected. I ordered the premium island-style pork cutlet set. The batter was crispy, the meat juicy, and it was a delicious cutlet that didn't feel heavy. The restaurant was hot, and the staff seemed busy, so it was a bit difficult to place our order. I hope to visit again if I have the chance.

It's been 10 months since I changed jobs, but I finally made it to Agezuki! The fried food there is very carefully prepared, incredibly tender, and delicious! The wait time made me a bit restless haha. The name of the restaurant apparently also means "to give luck." The restaurant is located underground, so SoftBank had no reception which was a bit inconvenient, but I think it adds to the charm of just enjoying your meal without worrying about phone calls or anything like that. I'll definitely go back!

A popular restaurant in the Kagurazaka area. Went around 12 pm on a Monday and had to wait for 2 people. Since people who finished eating left one after another, we were seated in about 10 minutes. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere. The best seats are at the counter where you can see the kitchen. Ordered the most popular dish, the Southern Island pork loin cutlet set. It takes a bit of time to fry it slowly at low temperature. The chef is cooking carefully. The dish was served in about 15 minutes. First, tried the cutlet without any sauce. It was juicy and had a sweet, elegant flavor. It's delicious even without sauce or rock salt! The rice was also delicious, so I kept eating. The fact that this level of tonkatsu is priced at less than 2,000 yen is great value for money! Would like to revisit if the timing works out. When leaving after finishing the meal (around 12:50 pm), the staff mentioned that the Southern Island pork was sold out, so it might be limited in quantity.

It has been about a year and a half since I last visited the famous tonkatsu restaurant "Agezuki" in Kagurazaka, known for its Okinawan pork loin cutlet set meal. I've been to the second branch in Nihonbashi, but it's been a while since I visited the main branch. I still remember being impressed when I ordered the Okinawan pork loin cutlet last time (laughs). The loin cutlet was refreshing compared to the loin, but it had a delicious umami and sweetness that made it very tasty. It takes a bit of time to fry at a low temperature, but the anticipation while waiting is exciting. They serve three appetizers first, so it's nice to nibble on while waiting. When the cutlet arrived, I tried it and found it to be delicious as it is, with the salt enhancing the flavor. The tonkatsu sauce also matched well, but salt really brought out the deliciousness of the cutlet. The rice was shiny and fluffy, complementing the cutlet well, and I was very satisfied. The miso soup was a clam soup with a good dashi flavor, not too strong in taste but just the right amount of saltiness. The shredded cabbage and the three appetizers (cucumber, potato salad, pickled vegetables) that come as side dishes are also of high quality. The loin cutlet was delicious and brought tears to my eyes, but I still prefer the loin. It's always a popular restaurant with long lines, but it's worth waiting in line to eat here. Thank you for the meal~

Using pork from the southern island, the meat has a rich umami flavor, a fine and juicy texture, and the fat has a low melting point, making it light and not greasy with a pleasant aroma. This pork is very rare, and to make it delicious, they age the meat before serving it. The thick and lightly fried pork cutlet has a slight pink color inside. The meat is tender, and the crispy and fluffy coating is delicious!! It's a famous tonkatsu restaurant in Kagurazaka. Thank you for reading the review until the end. I hope it can be a starting point for your delicious meal search. Your likes and comments are encouraging. I will continue to strive to provide helpful reviews, so I appreciate your support!

Located in the basement of a building on the main street of Kagurazaka. Rice and miso soup are available for an additional charge. Appetizers like the ones in the photos are served before the tonkatsu arrives, so it's good to order a beer and wait. The oil is incredibly sweet. It's delicious when eaten with salt sprinkled on top. The flavor diminishes as it cools down, so eat it right away when it arrives. Credit card payment is accepted. The staff at the restaurant were very lively.

I visited "Agedzuki" in Iidabashi for lunch. Around 12:30, Kagurazaka was crowded with people, but we were able to get in without waiting too long. There was also a line at "Tsujihan" in the same building, so be careful not to accidentally line up there. I mistakenly waited in line at Tsujihan for about 10 minutes... I ordered the most popular dish, the "Rosukatsu Teishoku." It wasn't greasy, the meat was juicy, and it was delicious both with salt and sauce. I would like to visit this restaurant for lunch again.

Last time I had the pork cutlet, so this time I decided to be a little adventurous. Of course, the tonkatsu was delicious, but I was curious about the ginger pork and minced cutlet, so I decided to order them. There was a 3-person wait 20 minutes before opening. They took our order ahead of time. The result was that the ginger pork was absolutely amazing! From now on, this might be my go-to... The slices were thick and incredibly tender. The sauce was rich and delicious. It was fruity, sweet, and salty - a real rice thief. And of course, the fillet was outstanding. The minced cutlet was even more luxurious, with a fluffy texture and lots of juicy meatiness. From now on, the ginger pork and minced cutlet are a must-order for me...

Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten. Last time, it was revealed that the long line above was for Tsujihan, so today I went down the stairs immediately. By the way, there were 6 people lined up above (in front of the building). Visited on Thursday at 13:05, seating rate was about 20-30%. There were two empty seats at the counter, but the person after me quickly filled them, while the tables were mostly empty except for a few groups of two. I ordered the signature meat dish that I missed out on last time due to it being sold out, the Nansemond pork loin cutlet set meal for 1780 yen including tax, and luckily it was available today. Maybe due to the cloudy and rainy weather, it was quite empty today. A few more people came later, all ordering the Nansemond pork loin cutlet set meal, but there was no sign of it running out. In the end, until I finished eating and left at 13:50, the Nansemond pork loin cutlet set meal was not sold out. If you're aiming for the Nansemond pork later in the day, it might be recommended to come when the weather is a bit bad. Since the waiting time here is long, I passed the time by looking around the store. I didn't notice it last time, but the meat-loving famous NTV announcer Mizutani was here on a show called "Hirunandesu", there was a signed board of him here, as expected! Today, the set meal arrived in just over 20 minutes. Last time with the fillet cutlet, it was slightly rare, but today it was cooked perfectly from the start. As expected of the advertised meat, it had richness in the fat and was delicious. Today, cabbage is also included. The total bill was 1780 yen including tax, and since I confirmed that they only accept cash last time, I paid in cash from the beginning. I mentioned last time that it was difficult to tell which line was which, but upon closer inspection, there were instructions on how to line up above the stairs → first, leave the bottom three steps open and line up on the stairs. If the stairs are full, line up in front of the building. So, if you're not lined up on the stairs, it seems you can just go straight down.

【Elegant and light tonkatsu with rich flavors condensed】Visited the long-awaited Agezuki. It was a rainy Sunday, so we arrived at 10:50 am, the first in line. It's a 5-6 minute walk from Iidabashi. Be careful not to mistake it for the long line at Tsujihan next door. I ordered the Nan no Shima Ton special loin (2850 yen + set meal 400 yen). They use Nan no Shima pork from Nagata Tanemoku Ranch in Miyazaki Prefecture, known for its exceptional flavor, some say it's the best pork. The oil contains a lot of oleic acid and is formulated not to cause indigestion, showing consideration for health. They are very particular about the frying method, frying it twice and using residual heat to cook it, so it takes time to serve, but it's tender and juicy. It was so delicious that I immediately decided to come back for more. The basic seasoning is rock salt, but I tried it with sauce and mustard occasionally for a change. The sauce is a light type, but it was delicious without compromising the flavor of the meat. Rice and cabbage refills are free. I think the reason why you don't feel heavy even after eating is because of the dedication to the oil and frying method. I liked it a lot, so I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

This is a tonkatsu restaurant called Minami no Shima located in Kagurazaka. It took about 5 minutes to walk from Iidabashi. I went around noon on a holiday and had to wait for about 30 minutes as there were about 4 people ahead of me. I ordered the Minami no Shima premium pork loin cutlet. It was simply delicious.

Agedzuki Tonkatsu, 5 minutes walk from Iidabashi Station, Friday, arrived at 13:07. 80% full inside the store, the signboard meat is Southern Island pork loin cutlet set meal. Today I had lunch in Iidabashi. I didn't have much time, so I thought of having an early lunch. But there was Agedzuki, a tonkatsu restaurant I wanted to try, right ahead. Hmm, should I go if I can get in quickly? Well, I could enter the restaurant smoothly. There was one empty seat at the counter and some tables were available. I had to take my chances! So, today's lunch was at this restaurant I've been wanting to try. Since it's fried food, it might take some time to cook, so I was nervous. It was ready at 13:27. If it's not busy, it will be ready in about 20 minutes. It was fast. I'm relieved! There was no line, so it might be recommended to go after 13:00. Maybe I was lucky because it was raining... In conclusion, it was the most delicious tonkatsu I've had in Tokyo so far. I haven't been to popular places like Narikura with long lines. Because it's fried at a low temperature, the coating is crispy, but the pork is so tender that it melts. The part with more fat on the right side melts like otoro (fatty tuna). And with a substantial amount of meat, there's miso soup, cabbage, and rice. It seems you can get refills of cabbage and rice. It's priced under 2000 yen. I think it was 1780 yen? Or was it 1800 yen? I was in a rush at the checkout, so I forgot (^◇^;) You'll get change from 2000 yen. Good value for money too! I wish I had more time to come here leisurely! But, oh boy, I'm very satisfied. Now that I know it's delicious, I want to come here on purpose next time. Thank you for the meal. I'll be back soon, haha.

I arrived around 8:00 PM and ordered the pork cutlet. The restaurant was full, and the dish arrived in about 30 minutes! Be aware that the serving time may take a while. There were three large pork cutlets! It might be a bit too much for women! It was the best tonkatsu I've ever had!!!

Visited Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. Noticed a line in front of the building where Agetsuki and Tsujihan are located, so asked the people in line to confirm which restaurant's line it was. It turned out to be Tsujihan, so passed by that line and went down the stairs to Agetsuki. Just as the customer in front was finishing up their meal, they asked me to wait a moment, so I queued up behind them. Shortly after, the customer in front and the customer who came after me were seated at the same time, and I thought we might be sharing a table, but the counter seats were all available, and we were seated separately. The interior of the restaurant has a traditional Japanese design with a nice atmosphere at the counter tables. While waiting, I had already decided on my order, so when I tried to order the Okinawan Island Pork Loin Cutlet set, I was told they were taking orders in the order of the line, so I had to wait a bit. When the customer in front finished ordering, I tried to order, but unfortunately, they had just sold out of the Okinawan Island Pork Loin Cutlet set! Oh no, what bad luck. Maybe that's why they were taking orders based on the line? Although I didn't have to wait long, it seems they can run out of items if you come later in the day. Oh well, I ended up ordering the Matsusaka Pork Fillet Cutlet set and added a side of homemade ground meat cutlet. I thought there were two types of sauce, but the white one turned out to be dressing. The fillet cutlet took some time to fry, so the Matsusaka Pork Loin Cutlet set for the customer who came after me was served first, and my order arrived in about 20 minutes. The miso soup was made with red miso and had seaweed and tofu as ingredients. There were two types of pickles on the table, each in a jar. On the main plate, the three pieces on the right were the fillet cutlet, and the one on the left was the additional ground meat cutlet I ordered. Since the fillet cutlet was also round in shape, it didn't look too different from the ground meat cutlet. I immediately cut open the ground meat cutlet and the fillet cutlet. The homemade ground meat cutlet was white both inside and out, with a tender texture and just the right amount of juices. The fillet cutlet was slightly rare when cut open, but after having the white homemade ground meat cutlet, the fillet cutlet was cooked to perfection. It was tender and juicy, with a crispy coating, making it delicious. Rice and cabbage were refillable once for free, so I got a refill of half rice and more cabbage. The refill for rice and cabbage was served based on how much you had left in your bowl or plate. The bill came out to 2,400 yen for the Matsusaka Pork Fillet Cutlet set at 1,880 yen and the homemade ground meat cutlet at 520 yen, and they only accepted cash for payment. It was delicious, so next time, I'll try the Okinawan Island Pork Loin Cutlet set.

Tabelog 3.76, Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten 20225/100. Visited on a weekday night at 20:00, entered at 20:15, and the tonkatsu arrived around 20:50. Is the operation really that bad here? Ordered: Matsuzaka pork premium loin cutlet and Nan no Shima pork premium fillet cutlet. The meat was simply good quality and delicious.
