[E・ZO FUKUOKA New Store] Worth lining up for! "Fluffy and crispy" white pork cutlet

Hello! I'm Hakata Aya, a writer who loves hot information about Fukuoka.

This time we will be introducing a new branch of Tonkatsu Wakaba, which is popular for its "white-battered pork cutlet."

Following the always-long lines at the Tenjin Main Store and Hakata Station Chikushi Exit Store, our third Fukuoka store opened on April 11th, 2025!

Shocking in appearance and taste! A restaurant serving exquisite white-battered pork cutlets "Tonkatsu Wakaba E-ZO Branch" (Jigyohama, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

"Tonkatsu Wakaba E・ZO Store" has opened in the food hall on the third floor of "BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA," a complex entertainment building located in Jigyohama, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City.

It's located right next to Mizuho PayPay Dome, making it an attractive spot to stop by on your way to watch a baseball game or concert.

The pork used is Kyushu brand pork, such as "Mugen Pork" from Kagoshima, "Hi no Kuni Pork" from Kumamoto, and "Itoshima Hana Pork" from Fukuoka.

And the defining feature of "Tonkatsu Wakaba" is, without a doubt, the "white batter"! The loin and fillet are carefully fried in low-temperature oil for a whopping 20 to 30 minutes.

For those who don't have much time, there are also fried pork cutlet bowls, curries, and business set meals.

This is the menu. You can enjoy Wakaba's pork cutlets in a variety of styles, including set meals, "Katsutama-don" (from 1,300 yen), and "Katsu Curry" (from 1,650 yen).

The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes! "Domestic brand pork loin cutlet set meal"

On this day, I ordered the signature dish, "Domestic Brand Pork Loin Cutlet Set Meal" (1,950 yen).

All set meals come with one refill of rice, miso soup, and cabbage! This is a nice bonus.

The pork loin cutlet is not too fatty, and the more you chew it, the more sweet and delicious it becomes. The crispy batter and moist, soft inside are irresistible!

The condiments provided are varied, including "Tonkatsu sauce," "Clear soy sauce (for wasabi soy sauce)," "Homemade ponzu sauce (for grated daikon)," "Himalayan rock salt," and "Homemade corn dressing (for cabbage)."

My recommendation is the classic tonkatsu sauce! The rich flavor of the sauce and the juicy pork cutlet are a perfect match. The Himalayan rock salt also enhances the sweetness of the meat, making it very delicious. Please try each slice and enjoy the different flavors.

Great value lunch♪ Katsu curry and minced meat also available!

The set meals (made with American pork) that are only available during lunchtime (11:00-15:00, subject to change when baseball games or other events occur) are also great value and very appealing.

There are various dishes available, such as the "Lunch Pork Loin Cutlet Set" (1,450 yen), "Lunch Fillet Cutlet Set" (1,450 yen), and "Minced Mince Cutlet Set" (1,350 yen). If you want to eat a hearty meal, you can also add cutlets (1 pork loin cutlet is 950 yen, 1 fillet cutlet is 550 yen) ♪
