Thick-cut pork cutlet! Katsudon! We closely observe the morning preparations at a tonkatsu restaurant that attracts a long line of businessmen!
This time we visited Tonkatsu Wakaba in Hakata.
At lunchtime, the popular restaurant attracts a long line of businessmen working in the neighborhood as well as foreign residents.
The restaurant offers a choice of domestic and foreign meats, and its tonkatsu is popular at lunchtime at a relatively reasonable price.
The deep-frying method is unique, with the meat being fried rare in oil at less than 100 degrees Celsius, and then the batter is fried at a higher temperature to crispy perfection.
As explained by the restaurant staff, this method of frying produces a moist, tender, juicy cutlet that retains its flavor.
It takes a lot of time and effort to remove the blood from the cutlet and fry it for a long time, but it is because of this hard work that the cutlet was so delicious and memorable.
