The Story of Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu was born in Kyoto with a clear purpose: to share the deliciousness of Gyukatsu with the world.
In a city known for its deep respect for culinary tradition, the founders set out to elevate a simple idea. A perfectly prepared beef cutlet. Crisp, light, and rich with flavour.
From its first restaurant in Kyoto, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu quickly captured the hearts of diners who appreciated the balance of simplicity and craftsmanship. Today, the brand continues to grow internationally while staying true to the philosophy that shaped its beginnings.
Our mission remains the same. To deliver delicious beef cutlets to as many people as possible.

Born in Kyoto, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu continues to follow the culinary philosophy that defines Kyoto cuisine:
simplicity, precision, and respect for ingredients.
The Craft Behind Every Cutlet
Premium beef is coated in delicate breadcrumbs and quickly fried at high temperature. This technique seals in the natural flavour of the meat while creating the signature contrast that defines Gyukatsu.
A crisp golden crust.
A tender, medium-rare centre.
You finish the doness your way.
Unlike traditional cutlets that are fully cooked before serving, Gyukatsu is designed to preserve the natural character of the beef, allowing its flavour and texture to remain the focus.
Every cutlet is prepared with care, reflecting the Japanese belief that even the simplest dishes deserve mastery.

An Experience Unique to Gyukatsu
Dining at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu invites guests to enjoy beef in a way that is both interactive and personal.
Each set is served with traditional accompaniments that highlight different dimensions of flavour. Wasabi soy sauce adds brightness. Kyoto curry brings depth. A soft onsen egg creates richness.
At the table, a heated stone grill allows guests to lightly cook each slice of beef to their preferred doneness.
A simple dish, crafted to be enjoyed in many ways.
From Kyoto to the World
What began in Kyoto has grown into a restaurant enjoyed by diners across Japan and around the world.
Each Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu location carries forward the same principles: respect for ingredients, careful preparation, and a dining experience that celebrates the craft of Japanese cuisine.
As the brand expands globally, the spirit of Kyoto remains at its heart. Quiet dedication. Attention to detail. And the pursuit of flavour that feels both simple and extraordinary.
