01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Tonkatsu has earned a glowing “the best” from one diner, but Pit Circle’s menu ranges from fried dishes to meat plates and pasta. Alongside tonkatsu and fried chicken, the listings include 3 fried prawns for 950 yen and 3 fried scallops for 900 yen.

For a more substantial plate, options include short steak, salt-grilled beef tongue and sautéed pork. The menu also lists Bolognese meat pasta, carbonara, and meat udon or soba, offering a choice between izakaya-style small plates and fuller meals.

Beer and whisky are available. Listed prices include 780 yen for a glass of draft Heineken and 650 yen for a small bottle of Heartland. The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Saturday and on Monday, from 21 until 5 the following morning, making it an option for a late meal and a drink.
