What is GYUKATSU?

GYUKATSU【牛カツ】- aka. Japanese Style Beef Katsu. Being the pioneer of the juicy, tender and flavourful GYUKATSU, Kyoto Katsugyu is excited to serve everyone here in Toronto! But how to enjoy authentic GYUKATSU like you are in Japan? Let’s take a look.

Our Mission: Making “beef cutlet” from Kyoto into the world’s “GYUKATSU”!

GYUKATSU Three Rules

Premium Beef

We only select the highest quality of beef for GYUKATSU that would bring out the best flavour and taste. Each cut that we offer will proivde you a different taste, tenderness and experience of GYUKATSU.
01.

Extra Refined Panko

Our GYUKATSU Panko is refined and 10 times thinner than regular panko. It locks the juice in and drained out the excess oil. Creating the perfect balance of flavour and crispiness.
02.

Medium Rare

We firmly believe that the Perfect GYUKATSU should be Medium Rare. Frying in higher temperature + short duration allows the umami and juiciness of the beef to completely come out.No other Katsu offers the same.

Our Menu

Our Story

The first Kyoto Katsugyu shop opened in Ponto-chō (先斗町), a historical district in Kyoto that is famous for its perservation of traditional Kyoto culture. It is also very hard for restaurants to set foot in that district, but Katsugyu did it!

We believe that with the impeccable taste, along with our fiery Kyoto spirit, Kyoto Katsugyu will make GYUKATSU a standard Japanese dish just like sushi, ramen and tempura one day in the world!

Design Concept

We will never forget where we came from - the beautiful & historic city of Kyoto. We incorporate various Kyoto elements & culture into our designs & branding. The warm Japanese lanterns, the traditional noren curtains of Ponto-cho, and the Kyoto dialect we use to welcome you. When you step into our shop, we hope that not only do we bring the most authentic GYUKATSU to you from Kyoto, but the city too.

Logo's Story

Traditional Japanese calligraphy and art are also a big part of our design and branding. Nothing can replace the beauty of the calligraphy strokes and traditional water color painting. We believe culinary is also a form of beauty, and every GYUKATSU we serve conveys the Kyoto spirit just like the powerful imageries we wish to show the world!
