About TM Restaurants Sdn Bhd

The No.1 Tonkatsu in Japan. The art of tonkatsu is all about savouring the harmony of tender pork meat, delicately coated with airy breadcrumbs, and generously drizzled with a rich, flavourful sauce. At MAiSEN, we never compromise on quality. We meticulously select premium ingredients, use the freshest produce, and employ original cooking methods to ensure our customers savour the true essence of delicious tonkatsu.

For nearly 60 years, MAiSEN is renowned in Japan for its tender meat tonkatsu, affectionately recognised as, "Tonkatsu, so tender it can be cut with chopsticks."

Today, MAiSEN’s reach includes 13 dine-in restaurants, 60 takeaway kiosks and numerous points of sale across Japan. International expansion began in 2012 with Thailand, the Philippines, and now Malaysia.

MAiSEN's main restaurant in Aoyama (off Omotesando) is famous for its setting as a 1920s bathhouse converted into a restaurant. At the time of the conversion, people had no real concept of "reuse" as is commonplace today. It was thus considered a fresh and surprising idea to repurpose an old building, sparking hot topics for conversation and garnering high acclaim.

At MAiSEN, we do not compromise on our cuisine. We are particular about the ingredients and cooking methods, ensuring our customers can savour truly delicious tonkatsu. "Compromise" has no place here

Serving delicious tonkatsu to our customers is always our intention and promise. In order to do this, we only use pork meat which is tested over and over again, and then approved by MAiSEN Japan. At MAiSEN, we have our own meat specifications designated to our suppliers such as the thickness of fat and so on.

We prepare the carefully selected pork with even more care. The sinew is pounded and beaten to loosen the meat fibers. This is a time-consuming task, but you can't cut corners. This is because if one string is not cut properly, the shape of the meat will be lost when it is fried, and the texture will change when you eat it.

This is our commitment to pork that pursues deliciousness every time.
