A New Era of Gourmet Croquettes: The Menchi Opens in Omiya

A New Brand Emerges: The Menchi

On February 7, 2026, the culinary scene in Omiya, Saitama, will be forever changed with the grand opening of "The Menchi"—a premium croquette restaurant created by Kushi Katsu Tanaka Holdings. Located just a short walk from Omiya Station, this establishment will focus on serving exquisite, freshly-fried croquettes made with 100% Wagyu beef.

A Culinary Experience Like No Other

The Menchi promises a unique dining experience by allowing customers to engage with their food like never before. Diners will have the opportunity to cook parts of their croquettes on a tabletop grill, achieving their desired level of doneness. This interactive method not only adds an element of entertainment but also allows for a deeper appreciation of the flavors and textures of high-quality Wagyu.

The Ultimate Croquette

The heart of The Menchi's menu is the "Wagyu Menchi Katsu Set," priced at 1,800 yen (tax included: 1,980 yen). Each set contains three Wagyu croquettes, a bowl of perfectly cooked rice from a special pot, onion soup, and fresh cabbage— all available for free refills.

Notably, the croquettes are made entirely from the finest selected Wagyu, which undergoes a meticulous grinding process right in the kitchen. This ensures that every bite is as fresh as possible, bursting with the rich flavor of quality meat.

A Symphony of Flavors

To elevate the taste experience, the Menchi's menu recommends distinct ways to enjoy the croquettes:

1. First Bite: Enjoy the natural flavor of the Wagyu with just a sprinkle of salt—a choice carefully selected to enhance the inherent sweetness and umami of the meat.
2. Second Bite: Experiment with traditional sauces like soy sauce or ponzu, or try their exclusive blends, all of which complement the croquette's rich flavor perfectly.
3. Third Bite: Finish with their house-made demi-glace sauce, crafted for an ideal balance of tartness and sweetness, promising an explosion of complex flavors and aromas.

This layered tasting experience is designed to delight all your senses, making each meal an occasion.

Grand Opening Promotion

To celebrate its opening, The Menchi will offer a limited-time promotion from February 7 to 15, 2026. Customers can enjoy the Wagyu Menchi Katsu Set at a reduced price of 1,200 yen (tax included: 1,320 yen)—a substantial 33% discount from the regular price.
