Ton-ichi

A freshly fried cutlet set feels instantly elevated when accompanied by a small side of sliced raw fish. Set along a residential street in Hirai, Edogawa Ward, Ton-ichi brings that touch of traditional kappo-style care to everyday dining. Lunchtime offerings such as the pork loin cutlet (rosu katsu), bite-sized tenderloin cutlets (hire hitokuchi katsu), and mixed fry platters with breaded prawns all arrive with a portion of sashimi, alongside a generous policy of free rice upsizing.

From Heritage Pork to Beef Tenderloin Cutlets

Beyond the staple sets, the menu gives plenty of room to explore meat on its own merits. Slices of Hitachi no Kagayaki pork loin or specially selected four-breed cross pork tenderloin, served with rock salt, draw out the meat's natural sweetness and fragrance. Diners craving something different can also opt for the beef tenderloin cutlet set, which coats fine-grained, exceptionally tender fillet in a delicate, crisp crust. A side of curry sauce, available in mild or spicy, is another popular add-on for those looking to turn their meal into cutlet curry.

Relaxed Dining in Raised Tatami Seating

The dining room features a raised tatami floor fitted with low tables and chairs, making it easy to stretch out and unwind. It works equally well for a quiet solo lunch or an unhurried evening dinner accompanied by beer, sake, and small side dishes. With boxed bento meals and takeout options also available, the kitchen serves comfortably as both an everyday lunch spot and a dependable choice for relaxed gatherings.
