About this place
The appeal of a traditional neighborhood teishoku diner begins with the pleasant dilemma of deciding on a main dish. Located down a side street in Toyo, Koto Ward, Masakiya (正木屋) centers its offerings on tonkatsu while serving an abundant spread of dishes built for everyday sustenance.
The classic pork loin katsu set delivers the straightforward satisfaction of a crisp, golden breading paired with savory meat. Free refills of the shredded cabbage accompanying the plate offer a refreshing balance of fresh vegetables alongside the fried fare. For those craving a bit of everything, combination plates such as the B Set bring together bite-sized katsu, Japanese-style fried chicken, and a mini hamburger steak.
The menu extends beyond breaded pork to include fried horse mackerel and squid, ginger pork, miso-sautéed pork tripe, and grilled seafood like salted mackerel. Full set meals are served at dinner as well as lunch, making it a reliable choice for solo diners stopping in comfortably at the end of the day. Takeout bento boxes are sold at the storefront, neatly weaving the eatery into the daily dining habits of nearby residents and office workers.
