GINZA BAIRIN : JAPANESE TONKATSU

IT'S A WEEKEND ! Saturday was a weekend and Sunday is also a weekend.
But Today, Sunday is always a short weekend.
Thinking of eating a Japanese Food when i was at town yesterday, i thought of Ginza Bairin.
It wasn't much queue, food was served quite fast in less than 10 minutes after ordering though
the customer was keep in and out. It seems a good choice to fill in our hunger

Ginza Bairin is known as a Japanese cutlet cuisine, specialized on Tonkatsu ( breaded,
deep fried pork cutlet ) in Ginza, Tokyo. The Tonkatsu recipes and Tonkatsu sauce created
by the founder, Nobukatsu Shibuya was gaining a fast popularity into market.

We were there not to have the Tonkatsu, but we wanted to try something different,
instead of just keep having deep fried cutlet, why not trying the Teppan,
we yet to try the New Bairin Menu which launched on few months ago

PS : Menu's picture isn't clear enough.
Please kindly visit Ginza Bairin  website to get  a clear details and vision.

Tonteki ( Pork Steak )
Tonteki Set - $22.00, a juicy Japanese style Pork Steak served in Bairin Special sauce that comes
with rice, soup, and pickles. Using an Iberian Pork, black pig which native to Iberian Peninsula
(Southwest of Europe), the meat wasn't tender and a bit hard to bite hence it is advisable to cut
1 slice of meat into a few pieces to enjoy the Tonteki better, unless you enjoy to bite a hardy meat

Nikomi Hamburg Set
Hamburg Set - $18.00 ( all set comes with rice, soup, and pickles ) is available in 2 type
of sauce : Demiglace and Curry Sauce. Curry sauce would be usual curry sauce that we know.
Demiglace is a French brown sauce that serve well with meats. It is sweet and flavourful.
Hamburg Steak is a Ginza Bairin style steak that using a stewed Black Pig.



It is absolutely softer and much more tender than Tonteki. That's ya i gotten the answer
why Hamburg set wasn't given a cutlery of knife unlike the Tonteki, only spoon is enough
