Kyoto Katsugyu’s recommended menu item is the “Kuroge Wagyu Sirloin Cutlet Set,” which boasts the fine texture of marbled Wagyu beef. You can fully enjoy the sweetness of the fat, rich beef flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that only Wagyu beef can offer.
Another charm of Kyoto Katsugyu is that it can be eaten in a variety of ways. A wide variety of condiments and dipping sauces, such as dashi soy sauce, sansho salt, and Gyukatsu sauce, enhance the flavor of the Gyukatsu even further. We recommend the first bite with a generous amount of wasabi and dashi soy sauce. From the second bite, add your favorite condiments and enjoy the Gyukatsu to your heart’s content. Enjoy the Gyukatsu in a variety of ways until the very last bite.
