Tonkatsu Tamafuji serving the best Tonkatsu in Hokkaido Japan for over 60 years. First US restaurant in Hawaii starting Jan 2017.

Tonkatsu Tamafuji


Found in 1952, Tonkatsu Tamafuji have been serving the Hokkaido tongue with quality Tonkatsu. Our successful story starts from the food that we serve. During the process of cooking Tonkatsu, which usually consists of breading the pork and deep fry in a oil, we delicately consider upgrading each step into a new level by choosing the best ingredients and cookware. Now in this first shop in Hawaii, we searched for the best local foods and ingredient to serve local tongue.

Pork- Smithfield chilled pork that's never frozen. We age it for more than 2 weeks to bring the tenderness while thickness of each pieces are possible. This thickness will not be possible without our delicate consideration of the best timing to cook and serve.

Bread Crumbs- Unlike usual Tonkatsu, we actually grind the best bread found in Hawaii, the Latour bread into crumbs to bread our pork. Each loaf is ensured to be aged for 4 days after freshly baked for perfection bite.

Oil- After years of searching, we came to the best blending ratio to make deep fried Tonkatsu available with crunchy texture that's unforgivable.

Frying Pot- Our handmade frying pot is made out of copper. It creates convection current during the frying process. This will allow the Tonkatsu to be fried in balanced condition.

Rice- We only use 100% Hokkaido rice, Nanatsuboshi brand. You can choose from regular white, ingredient mixed cooking Takikomi, or mix grain Gokoku. Refill is available at all time.

Cabbage and miso soup- Carefully chosen with best quality that can be found each day. Cabbage are made to be fluffy, and soups with Umami taste.



Another factor that lead the restaurant in successful business is our loyal employee. We have protected and perfected our chef techniques to this day with the eagerness to want to serve our customer better. Chefs are trained with our proud history to keep the tradition technique.

Tonkatsu Tamafuji holds award winning service awarded by the Japanese government for the traditional Omotenashi service. Now in Hawaii, we've combined the Japanese traditional Omotenashi service with US hospitality service.
