OMOTESANDO: Tonkatsu Maisen for some deliciously tender filet katsu~

Do you see it? The nose of the Porsche 911 S 991... wow.

Ducktail!... sorry off topic but spotted this parked at Maisen's parking lot.


I've never eaten at Maisens dining area just the outside to go spot.  Long counter seating near the entrance and if you are lucky they'll sit you in front of the chefs.

But the daily special caught my eye because of the fish and extra Japanese veggies.

Free tea and radish appetizer.

Seating area in the back... I was seating in a narrow location but to the left is a very big spacious spot with lots of tables.


There must be some history to this restaurant.

There it is! 990yen daily special.  Today's special was one small filet katsu and one corokke.


I so regretted getting this after one bit of the juicy tender delicious filet katsu... I only had one!  Should have gone with the 3 piece set.

This one!

Spicy and sweet tonkatsu sauces.

Yellow spicy mustard.

Free rice and shaved cabbage refills.



The outside take out stand.

Overall this place was a very filling lunch... the filet katsu soooo good.  Noticed alot of foreigners... Americans, Koreans, Chinese... looks like a hit with tourists.  If in the area you must go or at least buy a sandwich outside!
