Tori Katsu on Winterfeldtstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg claims to be Germany's first Japanese eatery — in operation since 1968 and a Winterfeldtmarkt institution for decades. The Japanese owner family has preserved the concept across generations: crispy Tonkatsu, Katsu Curry, and other Japanese comfort food classics at accessible prices. The small, cozy space is decorated with Japanese art — an authentic witness to the Japanese culinary presence in Berlin.
