Project illustration03 / From Tokyo to here
A little Japan. A lot of Tonton.
We love the little places where you eat well, come back often and feel at home. That is the idea behind TontonKatsu, west of Paris. The location is still to be found. The enthusiasm is already here.

A few answers
Before we sit down.
What is tonkatsu?
Tonkatsu is one of Japan's most iconic dishes: a pork cutlet coated in panko (light, airy Japanese breadcrumbs) and deep-fried in clean oil at a precise temperature. Unlike European schnitzel, tonkatsu uses panko which creates an ultra-crispy, light crust. There are two main cuts: hire katsu (fillet, tender and lean) and rosu katsu (loin, more marbled and flavourful).
What's the difference between hire katsu and rosu katsu?
Hire katsu uses the tenderloin, a lean and very tender cut — ideal for those who prefer lightness. Rosu katsu uses the loin, more marbled and flavourful, with a richer texture. In Japan, purists debate endlessly: it's a matter of personal taste!
