"Tokyo-based tonkatsu shop Tonkatsu Marushichi opened its first U.S. location in Torrance in early July, bringing its signature thick-cut pork katsu stateside for the first time. Founded in the Tokyo neighborhood of Monzen-Nakacho, Tonkatsu Marushichi specializes in thick slabs of tonkatsu with a crunchy panko coating, served as yaki katsudon on a bed of egg and rice - some even claim it to be the thickest katsu in Tokyo. Since opening, the restaurant has expanded to locations in Fugakaza, Ginza, and more."
"In Torrance, Tonkatsu Marushichi serves a straightforward menu with three versions of the signature yaki katsudon: a one-pound premium loin, a third-pound deluxe loin, and a half-pound tenderloin. The only other two options are a katsu sandwich and katsu curry. Sides comprise wasabi, spicy mayonnaise, and a signature sauce; green tea is available to drink. Tonkatsu Marushichi is also well-known for the pale pink interior of its pork, instead of the fully white core often found at other katsu shops."
Tonkatsu Marushichi opened its first U.S. location in Torrance in early July, bringing its Tokyo-style thick-cut pork katsu to Los Angeles. The shop originated in Monzen-Nakacho and expanded to Fugakaza, Ginza, and other Tokyo neighborhoods. The Torrance menu focuses on three yaki katsudon sizes—a one-pound premium loin, a third-pound deluxe loin, and a half-pound tenderloin—plus a katsu sandwich and katsu curry. Condiments include wasabi, spicy mayonnaise, and a signature sauce, with green tea available. The pork features a pale pink interior from a longer, lower-temperature cook that preserves moisture. The Torrance shop is primarily take-out with minimal counter seating and is open daily 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
