Ponta

To ensure a table for your group, I highly recommend making a phone reservation at Ponta Honke. The restaurant can get busy, especially during peak hours, and having a reservation guarantees your spot. The attentive service and delicious tonkatsu, accompanied by flavorful miso soup, will make your d...ining experience exceptional. Don't miss the opportunity to savor their culinary delights.

This is a traditional tonkatsu or pork cutlet restaurant in the Ueno district. Close to the Okachimachi station it has the kitchen on the ground floor and seating for about 18 on the first floor. It’s been there since 1905 and proud of it. The tonkatsu batter is indeed special and different and good... to rave over, the tongue stew is popular as are the shrimp crouquettes The place is so mesmerising that Japanese and foreigner ate both smitten. It’s open from 430 to 8pm for dinner and last order is strictly at 745 pm

そもそも元祖トンカツはここだと友達とトンカツを巡る旅を始めて半年以上。月一ペースでは東京のトンカツ美味いどころを制覇するのはいつになるのやら、などと考えていた矢先に出会ったのがこの店。トンカツもさることながら、是非ともビーフシチューを食べて欲しい。 まずはトンカツだが、シャキシャキ感は薄い。かと言って決して不味いわけではなくウスターソースとトマトケチャップと言う古典的なソースがサクッとした豚の味を引き立てる。ご飯がどんどんと進んでしまうのがこの美味の証拠。 タンシチューは、これは先ずは食べてみて欲しい。時間をかけて作られたことが一瞬にして分かる柔らかさと染み込んだソース。思い出してもこの店の四...つ足との戦いかを感じさせられる。 複数人で行って両方食べて欲しい。 The history of pork cutlet in Japan has started from this restaurant. This restaurant is not so big but we can easily feel how much they love pork cutlet and beef tongue stew. The cutlet shows us how much they have fought with dishes from Japanese taste point of view and how they found the way to eat stew in the best manner. Please try both if you go there with your friend, otherwise you will consider which you like. I'm sure to recommend both!
