About Kurobuta Tonkatsu
Kurobuta Tonkatsu (黒豚とんかつ, Kurobuta tonkatsu) showcases the rich heritage of Kagoshima’s prized Kurobuta pork, a breed with a history spanning 400 years. Raised amid the lush natural environment of Kagoshima and fed a diet that includes sweet potatoes, this premium pork is celebrated both within and beyond the prefecture for its tender, flavorful, and juicy meat.
Carefully aged to enhance the unique sweetness and richness of the Kurobuta pork, this tonkatsu features a lightly breaded crust that delivers a satisfying crunch. The meat is exceptionally tender, with a mild fat that melts in your mouth and creates a delicate, clean taste. Every bite releases even more savory goodness, making it an unforgettable culinary experience. Its thick, juicy cuts wrapped in a thin, crispy coating bring an ideal balance of softness and texture.
