1. GYUKATSU Kyoto Katsugyu Kyoto Ekimae

The first restaurant we would like to introduce is ”GYUKATSU Kyoto Katsugyu Kyoto Ekimae”. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy the taste of beef loin cutlet set and recommended “Kyo Tororo” (grated yam).

The restaurant offers a selection of sizes for first-time visitors to enjoy, and the atmosphere is casual and cozy. You can also enjoy watching your food being prepared right in front of you. Moreover, the restaurant is only a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, making it easy to access, and you can enjoy a medium rare Gyukatsu made from a single piece of beef with a crispy batter.

出典:牛カツ 京都 勝牛

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.
