Gyu-Katsu Kyoto Katsugyu Introduces Summer's Signature Dish

Gyu-Katsu Kyoto Katsugyu, a reputable establishment based in Kyoto, will commence sales of its special seasonal dish, the Gyu-Katsu and Unagi Katsu Set, on June 3, 2025. This dish is a part of their popular “Gyu and Seafood Set” series that has become a staple during the summer season.

A Unique Culinary Experience

This year's summer special makes waves with its innovative approach to unagi, the traditional eel delicacy. The delicious unagi is grilled over charcoal to perfection, giving it a rich flavor and aroma. It is then coated with crunchy batter, making each bite a delightful combination of textures and tastes. This unagi katsu is complemented by the freshness of fragrant shiso leaves and a hint of sansho (Japanese pepper) to add a fresh kick.

The Gyu-Katsu and Unagi Katsu combination not only serves as a sumptuous dish but also provides energy and stamina, making it perfect for combating the summer heat and fatigue. Fans of Gyu-Katsu Kyoto Katsugyu are encouraged to indulge in this exquisite seasonal offering.

What Makes This Dish Stand Out?

The highlight of the Gyu-Katsu and Unagi Katsu Set is the use of thick-cut unagi that has been expertly grilled. The batter fried unagi becomes plump and fluffy, elevating its already mouthwatering flavor. By frying together the generously cut unagi and shiso, diners will find that the dish remains light and refreshing—a perfect summer meal.

Accompanying the dish is the special “Unagi-Tama Sauce,” which combines the rich eel sauce with Kyoto Katsugyu's renowned “Kyoto Egg” sauce, enhancing the overall savoriness of the meal. This luscious sauce can be generously poured over hot rice, turning every bite into a delightful experience.
