Katsu, and so close to work!

Name: Daigo 大五
Style: Tonkatsu 豚カツ
Neighborhood: Shirokane 白金
Website: None

So I finally tried the Tonkatsu place near work. Man, I've been missing out! Daigo is a tonkatsu/steak restaurant about 7-8 minutes' walk from Polygon's offices. Their lunch specials are 800 yen for the Chicken Katsu (that's what I got, since I don't eat pork) or 1000 yen for the Tonkatsu. It's the standard Japanese katsu set, with sauce and lots of cabbage on the side, but it's well-done. The miracle of good Japanese fried food persists: even though katsu is deep-fried (that's pretty much what the word means), it's not particularly greasy. You can experience the same thing at a good Tempura place here as well.

Anyway, Daigo is a strong lunch recommendation. I've heard dinner (including their steaks) is really good as well, although as with many Japanese restaurants dinner is quite a bit more expensive than lunch.

Since they don't have a website, here's some more information on Daigo:
