Japanese Tonkatsu Pork Cutlet is my favourite Japanese dish. I was staying at the Novotel, walked past izakaya Umakamon Japanese Restaurant and saw the sign that showed they serve Tonkatsu at lunch time.

I grabbed a table, ordered the Tonkatsu set meal and it was awesome. I have eaten Tonkatsu in Tokyo many times and this was just as good as any I have had. It is served the traditional way with the deep Fried breaded pork Cutlet served with rice, sliced cabbage, a miso soup and the very tasty Tonkatsu sauce which is like a tangy BBQ sauce. Yum yum yum!

I went back for dinner and had a selection of some very tasty dishes. I ordered the deep Fried gyoza dumplings which were very tasty and went well with a nice cold tap beer.

I also ordered an excellent Potato croquette which had Wagyu Beef mixed in with the potato. So good. I also got a side dish of Potato salad which was excellent. It is very common to get potato salad as a side dish in Japan and it is made so well. Yummmmm.
