Wagokoro Tonkatsu Ginza Anzu Hanare Opens at CentralWorld
A renowned Japanese tonkatsu and gyukatsu restaurant from Ginza has expanded to Bangkok, offering premium aged meats at CentralWorld.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the Japanese restaurant 'Wagokoro Tonkatsu Ginza Anzu Hanare' has officially opened its doors in Bangkok. Located on the 3rd floor of CentralWorld in the Nippon Avenue zone, this establishment brings a legacy of over 30 years, originating from Fukuoka before expanding to 30 locations globally.
For residents and travelers in Bangkok, the restaurant distinguishes itself by serving both tonkatsu (pork) and gyukatsu (beef). The menu features high-end ingredients, including Kurobuta pork and A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef, which undergo an aging process to enhance texture and flavor. The restaurant emphasizes authenticity by importing specific frying oil and fresh breadcrumbs directly from Japan, aiming to replicate the experience of their famous Ginza branch.
This opening is notable for those seeking premium Japanese dining, as the restaurant maintains a high-end aesthetic, extending from its interior design to its tableware. While the restaurant has established its presence in the capital, potential diners may wish to confirm current reservation requirements or peak-hour wait times, as the brand is recognized for its popularity in its home market. The arrival of this chain adds another option for those looking for specialized, high-quality Japanese fried meat dishes in the heart of the city.
