Maisen, Wako, Saboten's "Katsu Sando"

"Katsusando" is something you'll want to buy when it's the holiday season. The combination of fluffy white bread, batter with sauce and soft pork is the best. This time, I ate and compared the tonkatsu chains "Maisen," "Wako," and "Saboten," and examined which one would be better for going out.

I bought Maisen's "Fillet Katsu Sando" (3 pieces, 421 yen, tax included, same below), Wako's "Hirekatsu Sand" (4 pieces, 580 yen), and Saboten's "Fillet Katsu Sando". (500 yen, 3 pieces included). From the conclusion, the bread is moist and soft, the meat of the pork cutlet can be easily chewed, the sauce is rich, and it is satisfactory. But each detail has its own personality.

The fluffy bread, the batter with the sauce, and the tenderloin are all delicious.

Cutlet and bread are a little small

First of all, from the fillet and sandwich of Maisen. As you can see from the package, the size is a little smaller than the others. There are 6 pieces (842 yen) and 9 pieces (1,263 yen), and you can choose the amount you like, but this time we chose 3 pieces.

Although it is a fin, the meat is soft like a minced meat

It comes in a distinctive and cool package. It's a nice design to take to the park. If you break the tightly sealed packaging and grab one, the wrapping is just soft. Even though it's a fin, I think it's a minced meat, so I'm a little surprised. The sauce soaked in the batter has a strong sweet and sour taste, and it brings out fluffy bread and cutlet.

I like the package

And it's a sandwich that perfectly meets the deliciousness you expect.

The meat is tasty

The size is large, and there is volume because it contains 4 pieces. There is also a half (300 yen) size, so you can buy the amount you like.

Light fins but strong scent

The package has an elegant white and black design, with a plastic tray inside when unsealed. When the bread is soft and moist, the sweet and sour taste of the sauce gives the impression that it is also the royal road to sandwiches.

Black and white chic design

However, the fillet is tender but somewhat supple, with a slightly pleasant texture. Also, although it is a fillet with no habit, the flavor of the meat is felt separately from the sauce, which is interesting.

Saboten "Fillet and Sandwich"

Spicy guy with plenty of grain mustard

Saboten's fins and sandwiches are very large in size. This time I bought one in a gorgeous "blessing" package. Only one size. You can easily open the box, unwrap it, and eat it immediately.

Saboten "Fillet and Sandwich"
It ’s a fillet, but it ’s also fast food, or junky.

The fluffy texture of bread and the tenderness of the meat are the royal roads, but unlike the others, the sauce is characterized by the use of grain mustard. The gentle spiciness enhances the taste of the sandwich.

Saboten "Fillet and Sandwich"
Congratulations on the "blessing" package

The unique, slightly junky and spicy flavor makes you want to drink hot, strong coffee with you.

All of them are more than enough for a vacation, but if you dare to choose one, I would like to recommend Maisen, which has a nice package and the fillet seems to be particularly soft.

But I'm tired of the same brand all the time, so Wako, who felt the flavor of the meat firmly, and Saboten, which has spicy grain mustard, are also rotating, so I wonder if it would be too much to eat sandwiches.
