So I would like to introduce the restaurant to you all.

What is a “Tonkatsu”?

“Tonkatsu” means a pork cutlet in Japanese.

But the cutlets of many countries are thin, while tonkatsu are thick.

Tonkatsu is very filling.

The umami of the pork meat fat is the secret to the deliciousness of tonkatsu.

For those who don’t like sushi, I recommend the tonkatsu.

The restaurant looks like this!

Ryoko’s business trip to Tokyo

Ryoko made a lunch appointment with two female colleagues in Tokyo.

I’m going to Tokyo next time, so why don’t we all go to lunch?

That’s nice.
But what do you want to eat?

Oh, this tonkatsu restaurant in Ginza has a lot of the good reputation.
But we can’t make reservations…

The restaurants with good and inexpensive lunches are extremely popular, so reservations are often not possible in Japan.

Tonkatsu, good!
If it’s full, let’s get in line!

Yeah. Let’s line up!

We will meet near a tonkatsu restaurant.

I agree.

We waited for about 15 minutes.
