Enjoy the best Gyukatsu in Shibuya! The Kuroge Wagyu Beef Premium Sirloin Cutlet Set at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is a must-try
Outline
Shibuya is a vibrant area where new restaurants are constantly opening. Among them, we highly recommend “Gyukatsu,” made with irresistible beef coated in a crispy batter. In this article, we will introduce the appeal of Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, the perfect spot for those craving authentic beef cutlet, and share a taste report on their menu!
What is Gyukatsu? History and appeal
Gyukatsu is a dish made by coating beef with breadcrumbs and deep frying it, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy interior. While pork has long been the standard for “katsu,” using beef allows for a richer, juicier flavor.
Gyukatsu is often served lightly fried, from rare to medium, so to fully appreciate the flavor of the beef, it’s important to choose a restaurant that prioritizes meat quality. Be cautious when selecting a restaurant, as many use molded meat injected with beef fat.
This time, we will provide a detailed introduction to “Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu,” which takes great care in everything from sourcing the meat to its preparation and even how it’s served! We’ll explain everything in detail, accompanied by a firsthand dining experience.

The Shibuya store is set to reopen in June 2024! The entrance sign is displayed in English, Chinese, and Korean.
The recommended menu at Katsugyu is “Premium WAGYU Sirloin GYUKATSU ZEN” for 4,939 yen (tax included).
The Gyukatsu is sliced into 8mm pieces, allowing you to n enjoy it with various condiments, dipping sauces, and how you like it cooked.
The fine texture and marbling unique to Wagyu beef are truly artistic!
When eaten medium rare, the flavor of the Wagyu fills your mouth, and its melt-in-your-mouth texture is irresistible.
I also dipped the Gyukatsu in Sansho salt, and the spicy accent of the Sansho pepper is addictive.
Another great thing about Katsugyu’s Gyukatsu is that it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.When dipped in the Kyoto curry dipping sauce, it transforms into a Gyukatsu with the rich flavor of Japanese curry.
You can also pour the Kyoto curry dipping sauce and Kyotama (half-boiled egg) over rice. For a refreshing twist, we recommend adding grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce to change the flavor and enhance the authentic Japanese taste.
The Gyukatsu, served medium rare, can be enjoyed as is or grilled on a hot iron plate, allowing you to savor it with your favorite condiments and sauces.
One of Katsugyu’s highlights is the ability to customize the flavor to suit your preferences.
Kyoto Katsugyu also offers limited-time menus
Kyoto Katsugyu also offers seasonal menus based on the time of year and current trends. In the fall of 2024, it will be saury cutlet.
The crispy fresh saury cutlet is topped with lemon juice and served with condiments and ponzu sauce. Its refreshing flavor was so surprising that it completely changed my perception of cutlets, leaving a lasting impression!
