MK Guide Recommends
Just steps from the heart of sumo country, Yokozuna Tonkatsu delivers exactly what its name promises: hulking, golden-fried pork cutlets served with flair and appetite. Popular with locals and visiting sumo fans alike, this unfussy neighborhood spot is known for its ultra-thick tonkatsu, tender to the bite and crisp at the edges. Beyond the signature dish, the menu also features menchi-katsu, ebi-fry, and seasonal set meals that cater to big appetites. While the interior leans casual, the commitment to flavor is serious. Expect generous portions, friendly service, and a glimpse into the everyday dining rhythms of Tokyo’s east side.
