Popular food for the common people in Meguro District, Tokyo, Japan: Fried pork cutlet Dabao
Let's take a look at the popular delicacy in Meguro District, the crispy and fragrant fried pork cutlet #とんかつ大宝, which is fried on the spot upon order. Before coating the pork with batter, the chef will first beat the pork with a hammer to loosen the tendons and the meat. This will allow the meat to retain juice more easily and remain tender without being dry.
After the whole piece is fried, it’s time to show the cross-section! When you cut it with a knife, the crackling sound is accompanied by the aroma of burnt and meaty flavor, so healing! The golden batter is fried crispy, the rosy white pork is tender and juicy, and the thickness is just right, the whole taste is top-notch!
A set meal includes deep-fried pork cutlet, refillable shredded cabbage, white rice, miso soup and pickles, and costs ¥1,700 including tax. The price is similar to the fried pork cutlet set meal in Taiwan, but the thickness and freshness are obviously better. The Japanese are indeed a nation that loves fried pork cutlet and ramen!
For the popular fried pork cutlet in Meguro Ward, besides #とんかつ大宝 (4.2 points, 799 reviews), there is also #とんかつとんき (4.2 points, 2459 reviews), which seems to be more popular. Unfortunately, there was a notice on the iron gate today saying that I had something urgent to do, so I missed it.
