🍜 Marugo

Opened in 1975, this is a well-known tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) restaurant in Akihabara. The restaurant is committed to the quality of its tonkatsu, including the selection of fresh and sweet pork, aromatic flavors, tender meat texture, delicate mouthfeel, flavorful fat, and sweet meat juices, along with the crispy texture of the breadcrumbs. As a result, it has been featured in the Michelin Guide Tokyo's Bib Gourmand recommendations. The "Special Premium Loin Cutlet" and "Special Premium Fillet Cutlet" are thick slices of pork that are deep-fried at low temperatures.

In addition to the special sauce on the table, there are also seasonings like salt and yellow mustard, allowing customers to create various flavors according to their personal preferences, making it a dish that never gets boring.
