Ponta Honke

Ponta Honke in Tokyo serves pork katsuretsu and fried shrimp. The pork is trimmed of fat and fried in house-made lard, giving a lean cut and a deep pork-fat flavor. Visits are by reservation, and on Saturday lunch three people have booked to eat there, while some parties are seated within ten minutes of arriving at the entrance. Ordering the katsuretsu with a rice set makes the price high.
