Ponta Honke

Established in 1905, Ponta was founded by the chef in charge of Western cuisine in the Imperial household. A tonkatsu specialist now run by the founder's great-grandchildren, it's a fun, very old-school spot where the staff are adamant about telling you how to eat your cutlet 'Ponta style': on its own at first, then with salt and finally with sauce. If you're not in the mood for a deep-fried delight, try the sautéed pork or tongue stew instead.
