A 5-minute walk from Ebisu Station, Toyokatsu is a long-established motsuyaki restaurant founded in 1946. With its wooden counter and old-fashioned atmosphere, it feels like a time slip back into the past. Here, you can enjoy traditional flavors that have been passed down for over 70 years and unique drinking styles.
The signature dish of Toyokatsu is 'Makura.' This dish features minced offal wrapped in chives and grilled to perfection, where the aroma of chives blends perfectly with the umami of the meat. Its fluffy texture and the crispy grilled surface are exquisite.
Besides 'Makura,' you can enjoy various parts like liver, tongue, and head meat. The grilling skill is superb, bringing out the characteristics of each part to the fullest.
At Toyokatsu, you can enjoy a unique way of drinking Hoppy. You pour a generous amount of shochu into a glass without ice and adjust the Hoppy from the bottle to your liking.
Additionally, you can only order motsuyaki once when entering the restaurant, a unique rule that allows you to savor the chef's skills and the freshest ingredients of the day.
The warm hospitality of the friendly owner and hostess is another charm of Toyokatsu. Listening to the conversations of regular customers, you feel as if you've stepped back into a Showa-era izakaya.
Not only is the taste outstanding, but the unique atmosphere and drinking style, coupled with reasonable pricing, make Toyokatsu highly appealing. When visiting Ebisu, be sure to stop by. A special time awaits you, filled with the charm of the Showa era and unchanging deliciousness.
