About Atsuton and Its Unique Offerings

Atsuton is a new dining concept by Kushikatsu Tanaka, focusing on the sumptuous thick cut tonkatsu and perfectly steamed rice. The restaurant places great emphasis on sourcing high-quality ingredients, ensuring each dish is a culinary masterpiece. With a particular attention to detail regarding the breading, oil, and overall preparation, Atsuton enhances the inherent flavors of pork, leaving diners with a refreshing aftertaste.

The Rice Experience

Rice plays a vital role at Atsuton—utilizing premium Japanese rice sourced from Niigata Prefecture, characterized by its perfect balance of stickiness and texture. Cooked to perfection in a traditional hagodong pot, the rice retains its rich flavor and satisfying grain qualities, making it the star alongside the rich tonkatsu.

Selecting Quality Pork

Atsuton prides itself on offering high-grade pork selections:
1. Loin Cutlet - Yamagata Prefecture’s Shonai Pork, known for its balance of tender red meat and lightly sweet, flavorful fat.
2. Filet Cutlet - Okinawa Prefecture’s Ryukyu Pork, raised on natural herbs resulting in ultra-tender meat with a mild yet rich flavor.

Choice of Oil

For frying, Atsuton employs a unique blend of quality lard that enhances the tonkatsu's umami, leaving a clean aftertaste. This emphasis on oil quality allows every bite to delight and keeps diners coming back for more.

The Thick-Cut Loin Cutlet

Atsuton's focus on texture culminates in its thick-cut 3 cm loin cutlet, cooked slowly and attentively at low temperatures. This preparation ensures that the meat is juicy and tender, while the crispy coating provides an exceptional textural contrast—a true testimony to culinary excellence.
