[Tonkatsu Niimura Main Branch] Until 6 AM! A 60-year-old thick and crispy tonkatsu shop in Shinjuku Kabukicho🐷
In the midst of the flashy neon signs, bustling streets, and lively atmosphere of Shinjuku Kabukicho, Tonkatsu Niimura has been around for over 60 years.
Their biggest advantages are their spacious store, thick tonkatsu, and late-night operation.
When you need a hearty meal after playing around Shinjuku late at night, or when you want to eat proper Japanese tonkatsu, we recommend Niimura Main Branch!
📍Location & Business Hours
✔ Location: 1 Chome-23-10 Kabukicho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0021
✔ Business Hours: 10:30 AM ~ 06:00 AM (Open until dawn!)
✔️ Cash and credit card payments accepted
While most tonkatsu shops close in the evening,
Niimura is open until 6 AM, so you can enjoy high-quality tonkatsu late at night or in the early morning!
They also offer a lunch menu, so it's a good idea to visit during the day!
🏠 A rare large tonkatsu restaurant in Kabukicho! (3 floors 😲)
Generally, Kabukicho has many small izakayas and ramen shops, so it's hard to find a tonkatsu restaurant this large,
but Niimura Main Store has 3 floors!
✔ Even if there's a wait, the turnover rate is fast, so you can get in relatively quickly.
✔ I was guided to the 3rd floor, and there was a separate smoking booth. However, the space underneath the smoking booth was open, so the smell of cigarettes could leak out, which was disappointing.
🚬 Fortunately, there were no smokers when I was there, so there was no problem, but if you're a non-smoker, take note!
🍽 Menu introduction
The menu I ordered was 👇
✔ Rosukatsu set meal 2,100 yen
✔ Black pork Rosukatsu set meal 3,500 yen
💡 Difference between Rosukatsu and Black pork Rosukatsu? To be honest, I'm not a gourmet, so I don't know the exact difference,
but the black pork definitely had a chewier texture and a chewier feel!
🥗 Salad & sesame dressing are a must!
It's really delicious to sprinkle sesame dressing on the cabbage salad that comes with the tonkatsu!
The dressing is rich, so it goes well with the tonkatsu.
💰 The price range is a bit high, but it's worth it!
✔ It feels a little more expensive than other tonkatsu restaurants,
✔ But considering the location in the heart of Shinjuku + a large store + late opening, it's understandable!
✔ If you aim for the lunch menu, you can enjoy it a little cheaper!
It's definitely a tonkatsu restaurant in Shinjuku Kabukicho, so there were a lot of tourists.
That's why the menu is well prepared in various languages such as English and Korean, so there was no difficulty in ordering!
However, since there were quite a few local Japanese customers, I felt like it was a really popular local tonkatsu restaurant, not a restaurant for tourists.
Next time I go, I definitely want to try cheese tonkatsu or curry tonkatsu! 🧀🍛
