Exciting New Offering at Katsuya
Katsuya, a renowned chain specializing in tonkatsu, is all set to tantalize taste buds with a special limited-time dish: the "Unagi no Kabayaki to Rosu Katsu no Ai-mori Don". Set to debut on July 11, 2025, this bowl perfectly combines the flavors of grilled eel and crispy pork cutlet for a satisfying summer meal.
As Japan experiences unprecedented heat in 2025, many are finding comfort in hearty meals that provide the necessary energy to tackle the season's challenges. Katsuya's latest offering aims to support those brave enough to face the sweltering heat with an invigorating dish packed with both flavor and nutrition.
Understanding the Dish
The "Unagi no Kabayaki to Rosu Katsu no Ai-mori Don" features a delightful pairing of succulent grilled eel, doused in a sweet-savory kabayaki sauce, along with Katsuya's signature pork cutlet. Each pork cutlet is carefully prepared, aged for approximately four weeks in a chilled environment before being coated with a special breading that ensures a perfectly crispy texture. Each cutlet is deep-fried to golden perfection, emphasizing crunch while retaining a tender core.
Additionally, Katsuya emphasizes the quality of its ingredients by utilizing meticulously sourced bread for the breading process. This results in an extraordinary, hearty texture that enhances the overall gustatory experience. To elevate the flavors further, the dish is garnished with mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) and, if desired, a sprinkle of sansho (Japanese pepper) for an added zing.
For those who simply can’t get enough of unagi, Katsuya offers an upgraded version: the "Unagi no Kabayaki Baimori to Rosu Katsu no Ai-mori Don," which features double portions of grilled eel alongside the pork cutlet, ideal for satisfying the cravings of any seafood lover.
