Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, operated by Kyoto Katsugyu Co., Ltd., will launch its signature summer-limited menu, the "Beef Sirloin Katsu and Eel Katsu Set," starting June 2, 2026. This luxurious set offers both beef katsu and eel katsu in a single meal. This popular annual series is designed to make customers feel the arrival of summer. Enjoy the crispy texture of the coating and the fluffy umami of the eel—a "serious eel katsu" only a specialty shop could create. Eel, a staple summer stamina food, is usually eaten as kabayaki, but Kyoto Katsugyu has reinterpreted it as a "katsu." By coating it, the natural umami and sweetness of the eel are enhanced. Adding shiso leaves provides a refreshing touch. This series is highly anticipated every year. The set allows customers to compare the different charms of beef and eel in one bowl. When paired with the special "Una-Tama" sauce—a blend of rich eel sauce and our signature "Kyotama"—it becomes even mellower. We recommend pouring it over hot rice.
