Saboten Philippines

Saboten is a Japanese restaurant that started in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 1966. It serves Tonkatsu and is now one of the largest chains in the world with over 500 shops in Asia and Canada. Lucky for us, we have two branches now, one in BGC and the other is located in Glorietta 5 ground floor.


I was very excited to try this place since I am a lover of pork chop and I know that the Tonkatsu is a higher end version of pork chop. Do not kill me for saying that. I know that they are not in the same league but I just feel that they are in the same family.

I love the wooden interiors of the plae and the decor on the wall. It felt so Asian and I love almost anything Asian since I grew up with these kind of decors and ambiance.


I loved the Grated Radish Tenderloin. It was just absolutely perfect with the Japanese sticky rice with grapefruit. The radish complemented the breaded tenderloin.  It was tender meat inside breaded goodness. To this day, I still don't understand how you can fry something and leave the inside soft to chew.


The shrimp though won my heart. It was fat and I loved every single bite of it. It was just soooo delicious. I'm not even gonna try to describe it in any other way except that I could finish 10 pieces of this shrimp and not have enough of it.


The Katsu Curry is also something that I'd definitely order on a rainy day. The sauce is not overpowering. I hate it when the sauce is too much and it doesn't do anything to up the taste of the katsu. With Saboten, its a great combination of things.


Now that I have whet your appetite, let me share the good news. Saboten and I would like for you to experience the goodness that is Saboten. Yes, you read that right. We are going to pick 2 of my readers to win Php1600 worth of GCs EACH for Saboten Glorietta branch.

  19. I want to win because I've been a fan of the Japanese Culture including their food since I was a kid. I've always wanted to try out all the Japanese Restaurants that are here in the country because it's like I'm getting a chance to have a taste of how Japan is like. I've only own of Saboten after my friends had mentioned it. And now, after seeing your blogspot about it, I've became really excited and want to give it a try. I heard their dishes are reeeally good! So I'm giving this giveaway a try. I really do hope I win! ><
