Tonkatsu Den Maihama store

This is a restaurant found near Disney. Throughout the trip, I wanted to find a place where locals would eat fried pork chops. After seeing the reviews for this place, I specially took a car from the hotel to try the pork chops, hoping to see what the locals enjoy! The staff in the restaurant were very enthusiastic and quickly prepared an English menu for us! Not long after we sat down, the whole restaurant was filled with people. It might be because we arrived just a bit early, not quite at mealtime yet. If we had come just 10 minutes later, we would have found no seats available!

Today we ordered two different types of fried pork chops for comparison.

These are the two special pork chops they suggested: one is pork fillet and the other is thick-cut pork chop! The two pork chops have different textures; the thick-cut one is more firm and juicy compared to what you find in Taiwan! In Taiwan, this kind of Japanese fried pork chop often has a thicker crust and sometimes the meat can be a bit dry, while the Japanese pork chop is so flavorful with every bite— I really wish I could eat several more pieces!

Additionally, the pork fillet is known by a different name in Taiwan, but it tastes much more tender than the pork in Taiwan. I didn’t want to stop eating it; even after finishing the whole serving, I still wanted a couple more bites! Its texture is different from the typical thick-cut pork chop; it's even more tender than the sliced pork chop and feels almost like eating steak. I truly felt like I was experiencing the pure essence of pork.

Overall, I personally highly recommend dining here. If you have a big appetite, you can refill rice, miso soup, and shredded cabbage as much as you want! If you plan to visit Disney, you really should come here for dinner because the restaurants inside Disney are pretty average. I definitely recommend friends who are visiting to come and try it out!
