Singapore’s culinary scene has just welcomed an exciting new addition with the opening of Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu’s first outlet in the Lion City. Known for its delectable gyukatsu (beef cutlet), the celebrated Japanese restaurant has brought its highly sought-after delicacies to local shores, much to the delight of food lovers and beef enthusiasts alike.
A Global Sensation Arrives in Singapore
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is no stranger to international acclaim. As the largest gyukatsu specialty restaurant from Japan, it has over 70 outlets worldwide and has drawn long, snaking queues in Japan. The restaurant has become synonymous with premium gyukatsu, a dish that features golden cutlets of thick, juicy beef that are tender with perfect marbling on the inside and crisp with a satisfying crunch on the outside.
The Secret to Gyukatsu’s Perfection
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu serves only carefully selected lean cuts of beef, which are deep-fried quickly at a high temperature to achieve the perfect medium rare. The secret to its signature crunch lies in its koromo batter, made through a secret blend golden ratio of bread crumbs, flour, and egg wash. Each cutlet is then fried in fresh oil that is changed daily to ensure clean, crisp flavors.
Diners can choose from a variety of cuts or even half-and-half combinations, making it possible to explore different textures and flavors in one meal. Options include sirloin, chuck, tenderloin, tongue, and for those seeking ultimate indulgence, the prized Wagyu.
A Multifaceted Dining Experience
Gyukatsu offers multiple ways to enjoy its beef, each complemented by a range of condiments and sauces that enhance the experience. Patrons can dip their gyukatsu in Kyoto-Style Curry, dab on a bit of Fresh Wasabi, or crack a Signature Onsen Egg over the top. Other options include flavoring the cutlets with Dashi Soy Sauce, sprinkling on Sansho Pepper Salt, or drizzling with Gyukatsu Sauce. For a gentle aftertaste, diners can also slurp Aka Miso Soup.
The Singapore outlet also features signature zen sets that are sure to entice, such as the Half-and-Half Gyukatsu Zen, which offers a fun mix of sirloin and tenderloin, and the Gyutan Zen, featuring buttery beef tongue fried to perfection. All sets come complete with rice, cabbage, Aka miso soup, Kyoto-style curry, spicy chili miso, and the signature onsen egg.
The doors are now open, and the experience awaits. Will you be among the first to taste what Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu has to offer?
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu’s first Singapore outlet opens in early September at Raffles City Shopping Centre, located at 252 North Bridge Road, #B1-63/64, Singapore 179103.
