NERIMA: Tonkatsu Matsunoya has another special! Chicken tender katsu varieties only 500yen April 4-12! (Sony RX100)


Japan can really be a value city if you scour the regular foodie sales.
Matsunoya Tonkatsu has several types of Sasami Katsu (Chicekn Tenders) discounted from 750 yen to 500 yen.


This push button panel can be quite the maze.  Thankfully the sale menu is obvious.

The variety of combos: Potato salad, ponzu with daikon, miso sauce, mustard and garlic butter. 

Then you have free rice upgrade options and if you want a bowl of pork miso soup its an additional 100 yen.  (Tonjiru). 

This is me! Largest portion of Domestic Japanese rice! 350 grams. 



There are counter seats where you are kinda shoulder to shoulder and a few table seating for 2. 

Waiting for my number 189 to be called. 




I got the Sasami Katsu with Garlic Butter sauce.  This totally reminded me of lobster dip... super tasty but a bit on the salty side. 



Carrot dressing is the best here!  Just add to your sliced cabbage.


My skinny chicken tender. Wish it was just a little bigger.

Next up add a little tonkatsu sauce with hot yellow mustard.   This is normally best with pork tonkatsu.

Overall the 2 pieces of chicken tenders was rather small with a thick layer of deep fried bread coating. BUT! There is a saying in Japan called `Hara Hachibu` which means stomach 80%... dont eat until you are stuffed.  I will most likely be back to try the other topping options.

  1. Como me gustaría poder viajar a Tokio, Japón, para degustar este plato típico. Pero de momento este viaje tendrá que esperar. Me lo anoto en la agenda. Gracias.
