Birth of " Wako "
The founder, Kazutora Hibisu, used to be involved in writing activities. Kyowa Co., Ltd., which was the co-owner of "Station Parlor" in the Sukiyabashi shopping center, was familiar with "Wa" from the pen name "Kazuo Hibi" used at that time, and also personally at this time. We took the "fortune" of "Yukio Nawa" and named it "Wako" with the permission of Mr. Nawa. Then, in December 1958 (Showa 33), our "Wako Group" opened the first "Tonkatsu Wako" store in Kawasaki Station Building B1.
Have you ever felt something when you went to Tonkatsu Wako?
Depending on the store, we may receive such inquiries from before, such as "the same Wako but different logo mark", "different menu contents and prices", "different service contents". As some of you may already know, the operating company of the same "Wako" is different.
