Gyukaku's New Grand Menu for Spring/Summer 2026
As part of their commitment to continuous improvement, Gyukaku, operated by Reins International, is set to unveil an updated grand menu on April 23, 2026. Responding to customer feedback, the brand will expand its offerings by introducing a total of 16 various toppings and sauces, allowing fans of grilled meat to explore endless flavor combinations. One of the most anticipated changes includes the thrilling return of the ‘Jandare’ series, a beloved flavor option that had previously been discontinued due to its popularity.

A Closer Look at the Toppings and Sauces
The renovation focuses on enhancing the dining experience, starting with Gyukaku's signature “Nama Tsuke Dare” (raw dipping sauce) that can be enjoyed at the table. Guests can begin with the original flavor and experiment with toppings and sauces, changing the taste throughout their meal.
New Topping Options
- - Aotou Oroshi: A new addition that combines the spiciness of green peppers with the umami of Japanese dashi, offering a refreshing twist that complements both meat and noodle dishes. Perfect pairings include fermented inner organs seasoned with salt sauce and stone pot sesame scallion salt ramen, adding a delightful kick and freshness.
- - Oba Set: This set includes shiso leaves and white scallions, adding vibrancy to pork belly with its light flavor, balancing the richness of fatty meats beautifully.
- - Three New Sauces: The addition of dashi soy sauce, ponzu, and sweet soy sauce broadens the flavor repertoire for various grilled items, allowing for personalized tastes to suit every palate.
Revival of the Fans' Favorites
Long-awaited favorites are resurfacing as well. The “Yamikuki Shio Cabbage,” now returning in a heartier cut, brings back the experience that many have missed. Additionally, the “Mizutaki” series will also be experiencing a revival, further enriching the menu options.
Value and Enjoyment for Everyone
Gyukaku emphasizes delivering quality and enjoyment at reasonable prices. The new item “Gensai Torokarubi” offers an exceptional taste of beef at a budget-friendly price, proving that affordability does not mean compromising on flavor. Generously sized servings ensure that patrons can savor every bite.
Conclusion
With these extensive updates, Gyukaku's grand menu for Spring/Summer 2026 is designed not just to satisfy but to elevate the customer experience in grilled dining.
