This is behind the counter at a local family-owned Japanese fried pork cutlet Tonkatsu restaurant in Tokyo Asakusa, Japan. This tokyo hidden food gem opened in 1972, in the quiet back streets of Asakusa and is a favorite among the locals in the area. It’s run by a 2nd generation owner who’s carried on his father’s delicious fried tonkatsu recipe, a deep-fried pork cutlet coated with panko to while also maintaining the shop’s hometown atmosphere for all its customers, truly capturing the essence of the neighborhood. It’s truly a local place where everyone knows each other. Their Japanese food specialty of various Tonkatsu and pork dishes can also be enjoyed with other dishes like hanbagu, Japanese hamburger patty. A truly unique Japanese cuisine food experience worth trying, especially if you want that hometown vibe.

  1. Thank you Paolo for showing us so many aspects of the Japanese culture. You and your family do a great job!

  2. This is the friendliest restaurant owner I've ever seen. He just gives off happy vibes everywhere. Wish I could dine there but if I ate pork my dad would beat me up

  3. It's always mouthwatering 😋. Shops and his owners featured in this channel
    are what I wanted to visit. Local and been around for decades.

  4. I want to see his wife cafe and that Joy cafe in the next video. And so cute how they called each other "chan"

  5. So nice of the owner to display his employee's national flag. Most owners could care less where their workers are from. They just use them & abuse them.

  6. I like this guy. Works hard but seems to maintain a better work/life balance than many others you've interviewed. Gets to have more time with family and friends and you can tell he's enjoying life.

  7. Paolo, you need to go back and ask that woman what she uses for anti aging!! I thought she was 25 so when she said her daughter was 30 my jaw dropped. I need her secrets!!’

  8. This is one of the coolest "behind the counter" of Paolo. I love the interaction and it looks really fun. When Paolo said he is a Filipino was the cutest. I just love the whole thing!

  9. I❤japan!It's my dream to live in japan.🙏I wish someday i fulfill my dreams.Hey paolo i am a filipino.When you have a chance can hook me up with your friends pls..could you?😅

  10. I don't remember if I already told you but your videos always put a smile on my face. The energy of the owner make me happy 😊
    Thx for your work !

  11. Her daughter is 30?! I thought she was about 30!

    This one felt super sweet and a real good feel with the owner and his customers.

    My mouth was watering as soon as he started frying that lovely pork 😋

  12. Another excellent episode showcasing the innate kindness of the Japanese people.

  13. Whenever I go to Japan, I hope to visit a few of these places that Pablo has done videos with. The owners always seem so sweet and hard working. I’d love to support them 🙂

  14. haha very cool to see asahi again. i've been to asahi and recall seeing the blue front of this store.
