About
Tonkatsu Aoki Sapporo
If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of Sapporo, make sure to carve out time for a culinary gem: Tonkatsu Aoki Sapporo. Nestled in the bustling Chuo Ward, this inviting eatery has gained a reputation for serving some of the finest tonkatsu in Japan. With its premium cuts of locally sourced SPF pork, Tonkatsu Aoki offers an experience that is both comforting and exquisite.
As you step inside, you’re met with a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal with family or friends. The welcoming vibe is complemented by attentive service, ensuring your dining experience is nothing short of delightful. It's no wonder that reviews from patrons like Chawalit K and Ronald Mak throng with praise for both the food and the ambiance.
Tonkatsu Aoki Sapporo specializes in crafting tonkatsu, a beloved Japanese dish of breaded and deep-fried pork cutlets. The star of the show is their signature pork shoulder, premium pork loin, and pork fillet sets. Each dish is flawlessly executed—juicy on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior. The batter is thin yet generously envelops the succulent cuts of pork, delivering an outstanding textural contrast. Simon Lee eloquently described it as “the life-changing piece of pork,” emphasizing the melt-in-your-mouth experience that defines the cuts here.
What elevates the meal further are the three distinctive signature salts from the Himalayas and Peru, enhancing the natural flavors of the meat. Although one review noted the lack of salad dressing for the accompanying cabbage, the fresh crunch of the cabbage presents a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the pork, especially when paired with the recommended toppings like wasabi.
Another highlight is the miso soup that comes alongside the meal. Patrons have noted its rich taste, drawing from the goodness of the pork and daikon, further solidifying the experience as harmonious. As Wendy Cheung pointed out, there’s a definite quality difference when the meat is sourced from local Hokkaido farms, and it truly shines through in every dish served at Aoki Sapporo.
Whether you’re a tonkatsu aficionado or new to the flavors, Tonkatsu Aoki Sapporo promises a dining experience that is both memorable and absolutely satisfying. The anticipation of dining here, often resulting in a brief wait for a table, is well worth it for a meal that some claim is the best in Sapporo, if not all of Japan.
So, gather your family, indulge in a finely crafted tonkatsu meal, and prepare yourself to fall in love with the art of Japanese comfort food at this spectacular establishment.

“ Good Tonkatsu dishes, Satisfied services, Relaxed atmosphere. I have been here to try Tonkatsu Aoki for the first time of my life, since I noticed that franchised store of this restaurant opened the first store in Central World, Thailand. I came here with my family at 11:30 am and waited for 15 minitues to get the table. I expected to wait for very long queue, but it actually was not too long for waiting. We tried Tonkatsu including signature pork shoulder set, premium pork loin set, and premium pork fillet set. Their tastes were great with different texture of the pork meat. They went well with 3 types of signature salts from Himalayas and Peru. Unfortunately, they did not have salad dressing for their cabbage. We must dipped it with salts or tonkatsu sauce. Anyway, well recommended to visit this restaurant. You are going to love it! ”
“ I had the fillet set, it is the best Tonkatsu meal ever. The meat was moist and tender and flavourful. Best in Sapporo and some say in Japan. ”
“ The life-changing piece of pork. This place selects wonderfully marbled cuts (and you can choose the cut). The coating is light and clings to it with perfection. It’s fried until medium-rare. The cabbage is crunchy and cuts through the fattiness of the meat. They’ve even gone to the effort of pairing it with a specific selection of salts. When you take a bite, it’s tender, with an outer crunch, and that marbling just causes it to melt in your mouth. I’m already in mourning that there will likely be absolutely nowhere outside of Japan that will deliver something this simple done with such perfection, diligence and pride. ”
“ We waited about 15 minutes before entering the restaurant! Since we had ordered in advance, we were able to eat right away! The top loin pork cutlet was cooked at a low temperature and was very tender and delicious. It's also good to eat it with ganen! We recommend adding extra toppings of wasabi and cabbage. ”
“ 25th April 2025 at 7pm. Ordered a pork shoulder set and pork loin set for me and my wife. Absolute delicious tonkatsu, meat was moist and tender. The pork shoulder has a drier part, so take note for those who prefer fatter meat, choose the loin instead The rice was also delicious. There are 3 types of salt you can pair with the meat. The place is small, but I believe there are more seats on the 2nd floor. The staff are friendly and there is English menu. ”
“ The best tonkatsu ! Juicy inside, crispy outside. The batter was thin and just the right amount. The miso soup was so tasty - the goodness of the pork and daikon could be tasted. They use SPF pork, I guess it is a local Hokkaido premium pork. One can really taste the difference! Lots of people lined up for a seat at the bar after 7pm. Perhaps the restaurant could allow these smaller groups to share the bigger tables upstairs to reduce the wait. ”
“ One of the better Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) I have had in Japan The biggest portion (300g) pork loin (Rosskatsu) was thick and had a perfect balance of fat The tenderloin (Hirekatsu) was a bit dry The set comes with rice, cabbage and pork miso You can eat the meat with one of 3 salts or sauce for a variety of flavours ”
“ Delicious tonkatsu. Had pork loin and pork shoulders. Meat is moist. Enjoyed the curry too, comes with bits of meat in it. Wife could hardly finish the 200g of pork loin. Portion is good. Place is a little warm though fyi. ”
