Saboten was founded in 1966 in the neighbourhood of Shinjuku in Tokyo.

The name Saboten or "cactus" in Japanese was selected to represent the founder's vision, which is to build a shop that will thrive with vitality even in the harshest conditions.

With dedication to serve the best Tonkatsu, Saboten has flourished into one of the largest Tonkatsu chains with over 500 shops around the globe.

Each ingredient is carefully selected with our passion to create the perfect tonkatsu. At Saboten, we only use premium pork lightly coated with our house-made bread crumbs to ensure the juice of the cutlets is preserved.

Our tonkastu is accompanied with our special sauce made of onions, carrots, tomatoes, apples and over 10 different spices to bring out the best flavour.
