Hirata Bokujou Kiwami

One of the best tonkatsu I have tasted! You can choose which cut or part of the meat. The balance of the fat and lean meat was incredible. Really juicy! The sesame sauce was also 5-star! Will definitely go back for the tonkatsu!

Came here without a reservation on a weekday night for dinner after walking around the mall for dinner ideas. The place is very spacious and there are half-concealed rooms for groups, should you want some privacy. There are some tables beside the window which I suppose would require prior reservations. Ordered the pork loin set and an additional ebi fry and potato croquette. The set comes along with unlimited refills of rice, kanten cabbage and soup so it will be good for those who want to have a more substantial meal. I didn't get these since I was already quite full. The pork loin was juicy and the batter was crunchy but not oily. While the croquette was ok, it didn't really stand out with a wow factor. The ebi fry was fresh and flavourful. The soup wasn't the murky miso type so it was quite light on the palate and took away any residual oiliness from the deep fried stuff. The cabbage was crunchy and had a light sweetness. There are two types of sauces and dressings for the tonkatsu and cabbage respectively i.e. standard tonkatsu sauce, spicy miso garlic, sesame dressing and onion dressing. It will be good to compare and contrast to see which is to your liking. Service was really attentive and prompt and the staff took time to explain the meal items. Not sure if they will do that in English or other languages though. This will be useful for those who are clueless about tonkatsu or not sure what to eat with what. In terms of price, this will be higher than the norm but given the location of the restaurant and the quality of the food, this will be worth the premium. Just that if you are coming during a peak period, it might be best to make a reservation first.

No queue when we visiting on weekday after 2pm, almost empty of the restaurant. I would recommend to come over here for lunch if you have a bit more time to come to kitte building just opposite train station for lunch. Tokyo station is too crowded. The tonkatsu is tender and juicy. You will feel satisfied with all the side dishes and the tonkatsu of course.

Everyone loves Hirata Farm. Free refills of cabbage, rice, and miso soup. The fried food here does not upset the stomach, so you can eat a full meal. It is better to make a reservation because it is crowded on holidays.

We celebrated Namjoon’s birthday here! The seat Namjoon had was unavailable but we got the one overlooking Tokyo Station. The price was slightly expensive than the previous month’s menu. We also waited 1 and a half hours. The food was delicious though, very tender tonkatsu!

Walked in close to 5pm, my friend and I were the first group of customer, and the waiter said all window seats already under reservation. We ordered shabu shabu (5000 yen per person without tax). Meat quality was great, overall food quality was good, waitresses assisted our table was very polite. We left the shop around 6pm and only one window table been used. Friend recommended this place because she had been to the one in Nihonbashi before, we had high expectations but this visit let us down a bit.

A place where you order your pork tonkatsu and then rice, miso soup and salad are unlimited eat as much as you want. I was so full after three bowls of rice, few salads refill, Miso soup! The sesame seeds were given to us to blend ourselves and add to the salad. Absolutely fantastic!!

We had a delicious dinner for New Year’s Eve at Hirata Bokujo Kiwami Kitte Marunouchi. View and ambiance really amazing with delicious Shabu Shabu and helpful and kindly staff. Definitely we will return here next our trip to Tokyo.
