The Experience

Tenets

Beef

Carefully selected beef with a rare value that allow you to enjoy the authentic ﬂavor of the lean meat. We make our famous gyukatsu by frying beef quickly at a high temperature so as to maintain its original ﬂavor, creating a crispy outside with a medium rare inside. We deﬁne the best condition as medium rare.

Koromo = Batter

"Koromo" That is the hidden renowned supporting role that brings Kyoto Katsugyu's Gyukatsu to the highest standard. In our pursuit of the best Gyukatsu, we came upon the golden ratio of "bread crumbs x ﬂour x egg wash," which make up our "Koromo." To achieve a perfect balance with the quality of these three elements, all ingredients are original and made by our own company. As it deﬂects oil well, it is not heavy, is deep-fried to be crispy in a short amount of time, and allows our Gyukatsu to look and taste the absolute best.

Oils

We use fresh oils and change it every day. The key point is to fry the beef at a high temperature for a short time.

Heritage

The Soul of Kyoto

Inspired by Kyoto's rich traditions, the restaurant incorporates design elements such as lanterns, noren curtains, and motifs from the famed Gion Matsuri festival. The space offers the warmth and intimacy of a casual kappo-style restaurant, complemented by refined interiors that create a distinctly elevated dining experience.

Artisanal Selection

We select only the finest cuts, understanding that each part of the beef offers a unique texture and flavor profile. Our "rare" preparation method is designed to showcase this premium quality.
