Tonkatsu Aoki
Bringing authentic Japanese tonkatsu to the world
Tonkatsu Aoki is a restaurant specializing in authentic tonkatsu, dedicated to delivering delicious tonkatsu to people all over the world.
To maximize the meat's natural flavor and juiciness, the restaurant uses thick cuts and low-temperature cooking, resulting in a crispy outside and moist inside.
Their signature dish, the "Special Loin Cutlet Set," has been highly praised not only by tonkatsu fans nationwide but also overseas, resulting in frequent media coverage as a popular restaurant with long lines.
Tonkatsu Aoki was also one of the first to embrace the salt-flavored style, and by offering several types of salt, including rock salt and Himalayan salt, they have created a new tonkatsu culture that allows customers to enjoy the rich flavor of pork to the fullest.
Tonkatsu Aoki is currently seeking franchise partners with the aim of expanding its operations. To ensure even those with no experience can start with confidence, they offer a comprehensive support system, including pre-opening training, sharing operational know-how, and assistance with selecting a store location.
Let's work together to spread the "authentic tonkatsu" that Japan is proud of throughout Japan and the world.
