Ginza Bairin @ 1ON Orchard

Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin, situated in 1ON Orchard made a name for itself as the first place to serve katsu sandwiches. Popped into the shop one night to have a try.



Bought a box of katsu sandwiches, and ordered a kurobuta katsu don. The katsu sandwiches are what you expect them to be. Crisp katsu with katsu sauce between slices of white bread. The katsu don had a pile of kurobuta pork katsu over a bed of rice, covered with an egg gravy and topped with an egg. I found the flavour good, but the effect of the gravy on the katsu diminished the crispy edge of the katsu. The kurobuta pork was tender and flavourful.
