MAiSEN Pork Cutlet’s Taiwan Anniversary Limited-Edition Couples Set

By MOOK Scenic Spots Home News Team

"MAiSEN Maisen Tonkatsu," which originated in Yurakucho, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, Japan, was introduced to Taiwan in October 2016 by Jealee International Group. Now marking its one-year anniversary in Taiwan, "MAiSEN Maisen Tonkatsu" is expressing gratitude to its many Taiwanese fans by offering a limited "Anniversary Exclusive Set Menu" at all three of its stores nationwide from October 20 to November 10. Priced at a special NT$1,020, only 20 sets are available each day. The promotion invites everyone to celebrate 50 years of the brand’s Japanese-style feast, achieved through an unwavering commitment to quality.

The classic taste of MAiSEN Maisen Tonkatsu – the "Black no Shokunin" black pork from Kagoshima, Japan. This premium pork is the result of crossbreeding purebred Berkshire pigs, registered by the Japan Pig Registration Association, and is raised in Kagoshima Prefecture’s warm climate. From breeding and production to processing and distribution, every step follows a consistent production philosophy to ensure high quality and stability. MAiSEN selects the "tenderloin" and "chuck roll" cuts from Kagoshima’s "Black no Shokunin" to make its tonkatsu. With its tender, fine-grained texture, melt-in-your-mouth richness, and juicy flavor that bursts with sweetness, it delivers an exceptional taste. In addition, MAiSEN offers a popular takeout item: the chūtan (tenderloin) tonkatsu sandwich, made with carefully chosen chūtan tonkatsu slices and soft bread, topped with a signature sandwich sauce, perfectly balanced to become a long-standing fan favorite.

To celebrate the first anniversary of MAiSEN Maisen Tonkatsu in Taiwan on October 20, 2017, and in appreciation of customers’ support and love for its consistently high-quality cuisine, the brand is offering a limited-time "Anniversary Exclusive Set Menu" at all three stores from October 20 to November 10. The set for two includes one serving of MAiSEN’s signature Tonkatsu Trio, one serving each of a newly developed Pork Sukiyaki Set and Shrimp Cream Korokke (croquette), both created especially for the anniversary, plus two non-alcoholic drinks. Priced at a special NT$1,020 (original price NT$1,190), with only 20 sets available daily, the menu blends exclusive classics and innovative flavors, letting you experience over half a century of MAiSEN’s dedication to delicious quality.

MAiSEN’s most cherished signature dish, the Tonkatsu Trio, is inspired by the Japanese style of eating unagi (eel) in three ways. The trio presents the tonkatsu cut into bite-sized pieces served over white rice sprinkled with seaweed. The “trio” refers to three different ways of enjoying it: First, eat the tonkatsu with the rice to enjoy its crispy exterior and tender interior. Second, sprinkle green onions, sesame seeds, and mustard over the rice and tonkatsu, mix well, and enjoy the subtle spiciness of the mustard and the aroma of the green onions enhancing the umami. Third, pour over a specially prepared Japanese-style broth to turn it into a tonkatsu ochazuke (rice with tea), a simple yet deeply satisfying traditional flavor.
