My sister is here visiting and I’ve been so excited with all our new restaurant finds.
We tried to go to Maisen Tonkatsu but it was absolutely packed with a 30min wait, so we wandered the backstreets of Harajuku and found this awesome alternative!
This tonkatsu restaurant is located in a little backstreet in Harajuku and has the tiniest little entrance that you would never realise it is actually a restaurant.
Walk inside and you’ll discover a beautiful wooden interior and you can sit at the long wooden bench and be served directly by the husband and wife owners.
The tonkatsu lunch set was only 1000yen and was possibly the most delicious tonkatsu I’ve ever tasted.
Extra plus is that they are child friendly in that they welcome families, and they even allowed me to bring in my stroller as my kids were sleeping.
(Just make sure you have some yen cash in your wallet as these little restaurants often don’t accept credit card!)

Beautiful long wooden bench where you are served directly by the owner
One of the most delicious tonkatsu I have ever had!
Cute tiny entrance that you will probably completely walk past if you didn’t know it was there. Make sure you eat here if you can!
