You can directly enjoy the original flavor of Japanese Black Beef

As the menu name suggests, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu’s “Premium Wagyu Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen” uses Japanese Black Beef.

Renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality, Japanese Black Beef is one of the most luxurious breeds of Wagyu, carefully raised in Japan to achieve its signature tenderness and rich flavor.

Japanese Black Beef is distinguished by its beautiful marbling, exceptional tenderness, and perfect balance of fat, delivering a rich flavor that sets it apart from other types of beef.

The Japanese Black Beef Sirloin at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu offers a perfect balance of moist red meat and juicy fat, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture. With each bite, the concentrated sweetness of the meat unfolds, filling your mouth with a deep, rich flavor.

Some Gyukatsu restaurants may advertise their beef as “wagyu” but actually use beef fat-injected formed meat that only looks like wagyu. However, at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, only authentic wagyu is used. One of the great things about dining here is that you can truly savor the genuine flavor and quality of real wagyu beef.

You can adjust the doneness of your Gyukatsu to your preference.

At Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, a small hot plate is installed on the table, allowing you to adjust the doneness of your Gyukatsu to your liking.

Since it is served rare, you can add a sear to enhance the flavor and aroma! One of the reasons we recommend Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is the ability to enjoy an endless variety of Gyukatsu flavors in just one meal.

The light batter and crispy texture, which crumbles instantly when you bite into them, are the result of meticulous attention to the temperature and timing of the frying oil.

By preventing the batter from absorbing too much oil, the outside is crispy and fragrant, while the inside stays moist and juicy. This exquisite frying technique is one of the key factors that set Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu’s Gyukatsu stands out from the rest.

There are many variations so you can enjoy Gyukatsu without getting bored.

There is a guide on the table on how to enjoy the Gyukatsu deliciously. First, we recommend savoring the meat in its original form, but you can enhance its flavor by trying different arrangements.

The three types on the tray are, from the left, dashi soy sauce, sansho salt, and Gyukatsu sauce.

One of the most common ways to eat Gyukatsu is with sauce, but dipping it in Japanese seasonings such as soy sauce and salt will give you a more refined taste.

The plate with the Gyukatsu is also served with Mizore ponzu sauce and wasabi, which goes well with the delicious fat of the Gyukatsu and the refreshing toppings.

Many people may not like the sharp and spicy wasabi, but if you come to Japan, please give it a try!

There are also unique toppings available, such as a Japanese-style curry dipping sauce, a soft-boiled egg with dashi stock, and chili miso, which combines the spiciness of green chili peppers with the sweetness of miso. These additions allow you to enjoy the Gyukatsu from the first bite to the last without ever getting bored.

There are also ground sesame seeds and shichimi peppers on the table, allowing you to adjust the flavor to your liking. By combining different toppings, you can enhance the enjoyment of the “Japanese Black Beef Premium Sirloin Cutlet Zen” even further.

The side menu is also perfect

The “Japanese Black Beef Premium Sirloin Cutlet Zen” comes with a large, crispy Gyukatsu, red miso soup, white rice made from domestic rice, and cabbage.

You can enjoy unlimited servings of cabbage, red miso soup, and rice, making it a satisfying and complete Japanese meal.

You can enjoy Akihabara’s specialty “oshikatsu” with “oi katsu”

In addition to the set meal, you can order a half Gyukatsu as an “oi katsu” at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu. This luxurious option lets you enjoy your favorite cuts, such as sirloin, loin, and tongue, in any quantity you desire.

If the set meal isn’t enough for you, or if you’re sharing with others, ordering an oi katsu is sure to boost your satisfaction.
