One of the Japanese foods that foreigners like is "gyukatsu" or "beef katsu." Gyukatsu is a deep-fried beef cutlet that is traditionally made with wagyu beef. The cutlet is seasoned, coated in breadcrumbs and fried until crispy. The best part about gyukatsu is that you can grill the meat again to your liking on the hibachi provided with your meal.
In this feature, we introduce a gyukatsu restaurant which is very famous among Japanese people, and many even say that it is the best restaurant in Akihabara, Tokyo. This restaurant is called Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San (牛かつ壱弐参) and is within walking distance from Akihabara or Suehirocho Station.
Their main dishes are divided into two, gyukatsu (fried beef fillet), and gyutankatsu (fried beef tongue). Gyukatsu comes in weights of 130 grams, 195 grams, and 260 grams. Gyutankatsu comes in 8 pieces, 10 pieces, and 12 pieces. Both options are available with or without a drink. Each set comes with sliced cabbage, miso soup and white rice.
We ordered a gyukatsu set weighing 195 grams. Doesn't it look appetizing?
Even though the meat is still red, you can see the crispy, crunchy exterior.
You will be given a hibachi along with your meal to grill it further to your liking.
If you like your meat well done, then you can easily do so by placing it on the stone hibachi.
You can grill it a little or until the inside is completely cooked.
The gyukatsu is sweet, fragrant, and delicious, no wonder it is the best gyukatsu restaurant in the area.
There are two types of sauces, and you can choose the sauce you like.
The combination of beef and wasabi makes the meat taste sweeter, and this Yama Wasabi sauce makes it even more delicious.
There is also a dressing for these cabbage slices, and salt to go with the gyukatsu meat.
Or you can dip it in the sweet sauce to add to the delicacy of the meat.
Another classic seasoning that accentuates the original taste and delicacy of the meat is salt. Dip the piece of meat in a little bit of salt and pop it into your mouth.
There are also special dishes such as beef tongue katsu that you can try every day after 15:00. If you're a foodie, don't forget to stop by this restaurant.
