About this place
A good tonkatsu bento is all about the crunch of the coating, the sauce and the rice. The Signature Pork Cutlet Bento at the Tamade branch is presented as a popular choice made with house-made sauce. One diner also singled out the cutlet’s crisp texture and the savoury richness of the frying oil. It’s a straightforward pick for anyone keen to focus on pork cutlet. Cabbage is not included as standard, but can be added free on request.
For a wider selection of fried dishes, the Hire-Ebi Bento pairs pork fillet cutlets with a fried prawn, while the Mixed Fry Bento includes pork fillet cutlet, prawn, squid, white fish, chicken tender and croquette. One diner particularly enjoyed the Hire-Ika Bento, with pork fillet cutlet and a squid fry—an appealing combination of cutlet and seafood. When you’re in the mood for a more substantial line-up, the Meat Feast Bento brings together beef short ribs, a half pork cutlet, pork fillet cutlet and fried chicken.
Add a side of fried chicken or potato salad finished with black pepper to tailor your meal. The shop is in Tamade-nishi and offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery. One takeaway customer noted that calling ahead to order helped reduce the wait.
