Tokyo is a city full of culinary surprises,
but every now and then, a place comes along that truly lives up to its reputation.
Donkatsu Marushichi in Ginza is one such spot — now even more talked about after a visit by K-pop star Jang Wonyoung.

This isn’t just another tonkatsu shop.
It’s where texture, flavor, and atmosphere come together for a meal that’s remembered long after the last bite.


Crispy, juicy, and perfectly balanced

The signature dish here is the Special Premium Rosu Katsu Set.
What sets it apart is the combination of thick-cut pork and a light, golden crust that’s fried low and slow to seal in all the flavor without being greasy.

Each bite begins with a satisfying crunch and ends with melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
The pork used is high-quality Japanese black pork, giving it a rich and refined taste.

Highlights:
- Thick, crispy tonkatsu with a clean finish
- Served with rice, miso soup, and traditional pickles
- Beautiful balance of texture and flavor


Why it's become a celebrity favorite

Even before Jang Wonyoung’s visit, Donkatsu Marushichi had built a solid local following.
But after her stop here went viral on social media, the shop saw a wave of new fans eager to try the same meal.

The restaurant has a relaxed, counter-style layout that makes it a welcoming spot for solo diners as well.
However, expect long lines during lunch and dinner hours — arriving early is highly recommended.
