Torikatsu is a small, hidden place that offers lunch sets of deep fried breaded portions with "panko" (breadcrumbs in Japanese). It offers sets at very reasonable prices, starting at 650 yen. You can build your set choosing from 2 types of 20 different choices: Torikatsu (chicken), Tonkatsu (pork), Kani (crab), Ika (squid), Aji (horse mackerel), Nasu (aubergine), etc. You can also add more toppings according to how hungry you are. The portions are prepared once you have placed the order so it ... is always just done and served right away. Despite being fried, it does not leave a greasy sensation. All sets come with rice, striped cabbage, and free tea. Run by two old women, the atmosphere is homely and familiar. The place is very famous among the Japanese and has been featured on TV several times. Despite being in the tourist Shibuya area you will not find many foreigners since it is somehow hidden, on the second floor in the back streets up of Dogenzaka.
