Tonkatsu was established in 2006 as a Japanese pork chop specialty store. Over the years, Tonkatsu has had a personal mission“: Making delicious pork chops is something Tonkatsu has always persisted in.” It was this brand mission that gained the affirmation and recognition of consumers.
As the last two syllables of the term“ pork chop” in Japanese“ 豚カツ” (TonKaTsu) have the same pronunciation as“ 勝つ” (KaTsu) meaning victory, Japanese people often eat pork chops before attending a job interview or taking an exam for good luck. Driven by a feeling of fullness and joy after eating pork chops, things usually go smoothly, whether at a job interview or an exam. This meaning of“ happiness and luck” also became the origin for the name“ 福勝亭” (Tonkatsu)“: 福” (happiness) refers to happy and satisfied customers, while“ 勝” (victory) refers to the good luck brought about from eating pork chops.
The belief in“ persisting in making delicious pork chops” is put into practice by continuously improving product quality and meeting the dietary needs of consumers of different generations. Tonkatsu Japanese pork chops uses select pork that is carefully prepared by
the R&D team, so that the fried pork chops carry forward the Japanese spirit while also satisfying the taste preferences of Taiwanese people.
