Tonkatsu Wako

Alexis really wanted to eat tonkatsu in Japan, so we found a restaurant called Tonkatsu Wako. It's near the Fujino Restaurant we ate at earlier in the day. It was crowded, but we were able to grab two counter seats without having to wait. Like other tonkatsu restaurants, they sold standard tonkatsu using different pieces of pork, but they also sold ebi-fry, tonkatsu with cheese, and tonkatsu-asparagus, and fried fish. Alexis and I ordered one of the tonkatsu set menus. The set menu included tonkatsu, cabbage, rice, misoshiru, and tsukemono. When they brought out the food, they informed us that we can have helpings on cabbage, rice, and misoshiru. The tonkatsu was nice and thick (unlike restaurants in the US) and fatty, but not too fatty. It also had a great crunch to it with what seemed to be an extra layer of panko. On the table, the restaurants provided two different tonkatsu sauces, Japanese mustard, and salad dressing. The food was really tasty, and I got an extra helping of cabbage, but not the rice or misoshiru.
