Kimukatsu

Kimukatsu Ebisu Main Branch, a delicious restaurant near the east exit of Ebisu Station, serves 25-layer pork cutlet! Using premium Japanese pork loin, the cutlet is super-thinly sliced into 25 layers, each just 0.5mm thin! The number 25, a secret number arrived at after countless trials and errors, results in a tender, juicy, and refreshing texture. There are seven flavors: black pepper, yuzu pepper, garlic, scallion, plum and shiso, cheese, and original. A la carte orders are 1,500 yen, and the set meal is 1,980 yen (comes with rice, miso soup, shredded cabbage, and pickles). Feel free to order more to try different flavors.

Unlike traditional deep-fried pork cutlets, this one is thinly sliced and reassembled into 25 pieces. The first bite is truly amazing. It's incredibly juicy. When I finally finished eating and paid, I saw quite a line. The waiter asked me how I enjoyed it and, knowing I was from Taiwan, promised to share if it was good. It was indeed delicious.

People often ask me how much food I ate in Tokyo. I tell them, a lot! Haha! The whole point of visiting Tokyo, the food capital, is to eat as much as you can. After trying so many restaurants, the 25-layer pork cutlet at Kimukatsu in Ebisu was probably the most expensive meal of my trip. It cost 1980 yen per person, which isn't all that expensive—less than 105 yuan in RMB—but we were thoroughly satisfied! There are so many pork cutlet restaurants in Japan, and for good reason. Before competitions or exams, athletes and students love to order katsudon (deep-fried pork cutlet bowls). Katsudon, also known as katsudon in Japan, is a popular dish, and you'll find plenty of katsudon restaurants on the streets of Japan. Today, I'd like to share a delicious dish at Kimukatsu Ebisu, located near the east exit of Ebisu Station. It features 25-layer pork cutlet! We're not having the katsudon here; I'm trying the katsu set meal. The napkins on the restaurant's tables tell the story of the number 25. Made from premium Japanese pork loin, the meat is sliced 25 times thinly, each layer just 0.5mm thin! This number, 25, was developed through countless trials and errors, resulting in a tender, juicy, and refreshing texture. There are seven flavors: black pepper, yuzu pepper, garlic, scallion, plum and shiso, cheese, and original. A la carte is 1350 yen, and the set meal is 1850 yen (comes with rice, miso soup, shredded cabbage, and pickles). Trying two flavors at once costs 1480 yen a la carte and 1980 yen a set meal. You can also order more if you want to try more. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant as a group, ordering different flavors to share, and enjoying all seven flavors together. Enjoying the food and sharing the joy of dining is not only about the delicious food, but also about the shared atmosphere—it's a memorable experience after a trip! 📍Address: 4-9-5 Ebisu, Shibuya-ku ⏰Opening Hours: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM 🚄Getting There: JR Yamanote Line | METRO Hibiya Line | Ebisu Station #NighttimeEat #ReuniteWithTheWorld #FirstTripOf2023 #360°OpenNewThinksOfSnowPlay #My2022
