katsudon in Tokyo

3 places for katsudon in Tokyo, picked by creators — with what they said.

• とんかつ銀座梅林 本店 — 나의시선
  Says the katsu sando, being the original, is far softer and tastier than others, and recommends pairing the gin-katsu set, katsu-don, and katsu sando with beer.
  Heads up: There's a pricier black pork option too, but the difference isn't huge, so the basic gin-katsu set is more than enough.
• かつどん屋 瑞兆 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said it's a must-visit every time they come to Tokyo, calling it the best katsudon, and raved that the sauce-soaked tonkatsu was surprisingly crispy.
  Heads up: Said opening is at 11:30 but they let people in from 11, so it's best to arrive early.
• 니혼바시 돈카츠 하지메 하나레 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said the tonkatsu is thick with little fat, making it less greasy and the meat tender — recommended if you want a katsudon that really fills your mouth.
  Heads up: Said it's not worth waiting one or two hours for, but it's reliably tasty.
