Braces Person's Review: The mall's restroom is quite clean.
After visiting the Eiffel Tower, we took a stroll in Azabu Dai Hill, and we happened to want to eat fried pork cutlet, so we randomly found a newly opened restaurant to try. We arrived at around four in the afternoon and waited a little. When the staff saw that we were foreigners, they kindly offered us a menu with pictures and English descriptions, which was quite considerate.
We ordered two set meals:
Special Pork Fillet Tonkatsu ¥3000
(Deep-fried pork fillet set, 120g)
Mixed Tonkatsu Two ¥2600
(Combination set of pork loin and fillet, 120g of loin + two pieces of fillet)
The pork fillet was tender and not dry, with a nice texture; the loin meat had a good balance of fat and lean, not greasy at all, just right. The crispy outer layer of the fried fillet was soft and tender inside, and overall the experience was very satisfying.
The set meals came with white rice and shredded cabbage (with one refill), and miso soup. The white rice in Japan is particularly fragrant and sweet, making it hard to resist asking for another serving. After the meal, we felt satisfied. Although this restaurant doesn't have many reviews yet, the dishes and service were surprisingly delightful. If you get a chance to visit Azabu Dai and don’t know what to eat, this place is definitely worth a try.

Spent the afternoon taking photos of the Tokyo Tower 🗼 and then visited Azabudai Hills, which just opened last year. We decided on the spot to have dinner nearby and found this relatively new restaurant (there are few Google reviews).
We visited around 16:30 and waited in line for a little while. The staff noticed we were foreigners and handed us a menu with pictures and English translations.
▪️Special Pork Fillet Tonkatsu ¥3000
(Deep fried pork fillet cutlet set, 120g)
The picture looked impressive, and the price was higher, so we decided to try it. I checked what it was called in English—it’s the fillet part—and though it seemed tender, it was actually quite firm when eaten, yet the coating was crispy, which made the texture enjoyable.
▪️Mixed Tonkatsu two ¥2600
(Deep fried pork loin & fillet cutlet set)
Loin 120g & Fillet 2 pieces
I was considering what else to order and chose this popular dish, a combination of loin and fillet. The loin combines layers of lean and fatty meat, which create a nice flavor when eaten together, and I didn't find it too greasy. The fillet doesn't have layers, crispy outside and soft inside. No wonder it's popular because you get two types of cuts at once.
All sets come with rice and shredded cabbage (refillable once), miso soup with simple radish that tasted great, and you can help yourself to pork cutlet and cabbage sauce, pickles, and wasabi (the pork cutlet also comes with yellow mustard that pairs well).
Overall, this place is simple and has a very Japanese atmosphere, it's foreigner-friendly. Although I wouldn't specifically revisit, I would recommend it to friends nearby, so I give it more than 3 stars.
