Established in 1905. Ponta, which was founded by the chef in charge of Western cuisine in the Imperial Household, gives customers a sense of the roots of Japan’s much loved food, tonkatsu (pork cutlets). For four generations Ponta have been carrying on the tradition of serving pork cutlets which have been inspired by Viennese style cutlets made using veal. Eating tonkatsu Ponta style means that you should try them first on their own, then with salt and finally with sauce. In addition to fried food, Ponta also serves other items including sautéed pork and tongue stew both perfect with a bowl of rice.
