Authentic Japanese Food in Singapore: Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin

Ginzai Bairin comes from the Ginza neighborhood of Tokyo. They offer "TONKATSU" Japanese cutlet cuisine as the first Tonjatsu specialty restaurant established in Ginza. With outlets all over the world, I was so glad to discover the hidden gem: an open-concept restaurant tucked away in the basement of Jcube. Serving traditional Japanese food, they specialize in the kurobuta (Berkshire pig) cutlet, original katsu bowl, Shrimp cutlet, tonkatsu sandwich, and curry rice. If you're a fan of Japanese sake, the store also imports beer from Japan! Sign up for the PERX in your mobile to get exclusive offers and discounts from Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin.

Black Pig Katsu Don (SGD15.40)
Deep fried breaded Black pig loin simmered w/egg. This is definitely authentic japanese rice. The egg was cooked in such perfection — it was runny and milky, while the pork was chewy and had little fats. The meat tasted tougher and juicier as compared to the normal pork katsu don. I would highly recommend this dish.

Pork Katsu Curry 100g (SGD12.90)

 Black Pig Katsu Curry — SGD15.40
Deep fried breaded Black pig loin w/home made curry.

The curry sauce was thick and gooey, and the black pig marinate was crisp and delicious. Much of its crunchiness were retained even after dipping it into the pool of savoury curry.

 Pork Katsu Don — SGD12.90
Deep fried breaded Pork loin simmered w/egg.
There were lots of onions in the bowl, and this made the entire serving extremely flavourful. Ginza Barin uses a special sweet sauce that really awakens your tastebuds!

Every grain of rice is so delicious that you wouldn't fear not being able to finish the bowl. Trust me, it is the perfect place where you should bring your friends, your interns, your colleagues, your bosses, your family... anyone... for lunch or dinner!
