We remove sinews and tenderize the meat fibers by pounding them. This is a time-consuming process, but we cannot cut corners. Even a single missed sinew can distort the shape of the meat when fried and alter the texture when eaten. Breadcrumbs and Frying Oil: We use fresh breadcrumbs made daily from bread baked according to a specific recipe. These breadcrumbs are unique to Maisen, differing in content, size, and shape from commercially available ones. Our frying oil is also custom-made for Maisen. We fry carefully, adjusting the heating time. The glossy, crispy, yet fluffy spread of the coating is what Maisen calls 'kentedachi,' and it is a source of pride for Maisen's tonkatsu. Sauce: Maisen currently produces four types of sauce: sweet, spicy, for sandwiches, and for Kurobuta pork. The basic recipe remains the same as when the company was founded, with skilled artisans inheriting the founder's commitment carefully blending fresh vegetables and fruits as ingredients, confirming the taste.
