Maisen's Commitment

Pork: We check pork sourced from around the world every single day and only use pork that passes our standards. We remove sinew and pound the meat to loosen the fibers. This is a time-consuming process, but we cannot cut corners. A single missed piece of sinew can ruin the shape of the meat when fried and also affect the texture when eaten.

Breadcrumbs and Frying Oil: We use fresh breadcrumbs made daily from bread baked to our specific recipe. These are Maisen's unique breadcrumbs, differing in ingredients, size, and shape from commercially available ones. The frying oil is also a special order item for Maisen. We fry carefully, adjusting the cooking time. The glossy, crispy, and fluffy expansion of the coating, which we call "ken-dachi" (sword standing), is Maisen's pride for its tonkatsu.

Sauce: Maisen currently produces four types of sauce: mild, spicy, for sandwiches, and for Kurobuta pork.

The basic recipe remains the same as when the company was founded. Using fresh fruits and vegetables as ingredients, skilled artisans who inherit the founder's dedication carefully blend the sauces while checking the taste.
