A mecca for tonkatsu lovers, Tonkatsu Aoki’s Kamata flagship is famed for its thick, juicy pork cutlets fried to golden perfection—served simply, expertly, and without frills.
MK Guide Recommends
Tonkatsu Aoki Kamata Main Branch has earned cult status among Tokyo’s fried food connoisseurs. Located near Kamata Station, this humble shop serves thick-cut tonkatsu made from carefully aged pork, fried to a crisp yet tender finish. Instead of the usual tonkatsu sauce, diners are encouraged to try the meat with a curated selection of natural rock salts, bringing out the rich umami of the pork. The vibe is modest and focused—counter seating, cash only, no reservations, and often a line out the door. But for those willing to wait, Aoki offers one of the most unforgettable cutlet experiences in Tokyo, balancing indulgence with refinement in every bite.
