FRITTS: Tokyo Kasuga Dining & Audio Menu

In the quiet shopping street near Kasuga and Korakuen, there is a yoshoku restaurant named “FRITTS (洋食・ワイン フリッツ).” The name comes from the French word “frites” (fried items). The owner, Mr. 田苗見賢太, trained for nearly fifteen years at “旬香亭” in Akasaka, Jiyugaoka, and Mejiro before taking over the name “FRITTS,” which once existed in Akasaka Mitsuke, and opened his own restaurant in 2016. This establishment has been consecutively selected as one of Tabelog’s top hundred yoshoku restaurants (in 2022, 2023, and 2025 EAST) and has been included in the Michelin Guide Tokyo for many years. It is a Japanese yoshoku restaurant that focuses on fried items while also emphasizing wine pairings.

The signature dish is the assorted fried platter. There are various combinations on the menu, and you can choose according to your preference from pork tenderloin, minced meat cutlet, fried shrimp, fried horse mackerel, fried oyster, crab cream croquette, etc., served with seasonal vegetable salad, white rice, and coffee or dessert after the meal. The most popular is usually the pork tenderloin. The restaurant uses US pork tenderloin, which is lightly tapped with the back of a knife to break the fibers before cutting, and then slowly deep-fried at a low temperature. The outer layer is thin and crispy, while the inside remains soft and juicy, with the cross-section showing a light pink color. When you bite into it, the fat and umami are released simultaneously without feeling greasy. Some say this is the ‘softest, least greasy pork tenderloin ever eaten’ because the control of heat and residual heat is very meticulous.
