About this place
While waiting for a tonkatsu set meal, diners grind sesame seeds in a mortar—a small prelude to the meal that some people mention at Jinya. The ground sesame can be mixed with sauce, or the flavour can be changed with salt or mustard. It adds a little choice to each bite of tonkatsu, with its crisp coating. Sides include shredded cabbage, pickles and red miso soup. Some diners also report being able to get extra rice and cabbage, making this a likely fit for a substantial lunch.
For something other than fried food, the ginger pork set meal is another option. Diners who have tried it have praised the tender meat and cabbage coated in sauce. The lunchtime set menu also includes sashimi, fried chicken and kushikatsu set meals. Whether you are in the mood for a set lunch or something other than tonkatsu, there are several dishes to compare.
Jinya serves lunch and dinner, and offers alcoholic drinks such as beer. The choices range from a set meal as the focus of a midday meal to enjoying a drink with loin or fillet cutlets in the evening.
