After leaving Narita Airport, we headed to Ginza which has become our HQ in Tokyo. We’re only here for a day before heading to Kyoto but will be back in Tokyo for a few days before we leave for the US.
Checked into our hotel a little late and found ourselves hungry. Luckily this place was open and a block away - Misokatsu Yabaton. It was a cozy, welcoming place with a mix of modern and homey appeal. Friendly, impeccable service (English menus available) which is the norm in Japan.
They serve mainly fried dishes but their speciality is the pork cutlet. Different than your standard tonkotsu restaurants like Maizen because of the miso based sauce. Everything was perfectly cooked and though fried, never felt greasy. Jumbo prawn was huge! Plus freshly chopped negi (green onion) was a nice accompaniment to the fried items.
