Maisen in Omotesando is one of Tokyo's most celebrated tonkatsu (breaded deep-fried pork cutlet) restaurants, occupying a beautifully converted 1940s bathhouse and serving special-breed Kurobuta pork at a quality level far above standard tonkatsu chains. A full teishoku set with miso soup, rice, and pickles costs approximately 1,900-3,500 JPY depending on cut. TripAdvisor reviewers consistently rate it in the top 10 family-friendly restaurants in the Harajuku-Omotesando area, praising the crispy-without-greasy texture and the child portions available. The Omotesando location doubles as a takeaway counter for those wanting picnic supplies for Yoyogi Park or Shinjuku Gyoen, both within walking distance. Queue on weekday lunches averages 20-30 minutes.
