Feast on a 3 Course Japanese Set Menu for Sharing at Katsu


The Japanese exude sheer simplicity and style in every fundamental thing they do, and eating is no exception. Japanese cuisine is so straightforward and basic, that its simplicity is a genius in its own form. This very same thought and principle is what bore Katsu.

The Katsu menu boasts of 30 varieties of yakitoris (grilled meat) which may be served two ways. Shio style yakitoris are simply seasoned with Okinawa sea salt so that one can truly enjoy the natural flavors of the grilled items. For those who like their grilled items with a touch of sweetness and glaze, you can’t go wrong with their signature yakitori sauce.

Katsu takes their tonkatsus (breaded cutlets) seriously. A staple in Japanese cuisine, tonkatsu is normally served along side cabbage dressing. Thinly sliced cabbage with Katsu’s homemade salad dressing complements the bold taste of their signature tonkatsu sauce. Sesame seeds are served in a traditional Japanese mortar with serrated sides. This allows the guest to crush the sesame seeds and mix in the tonkatsu sauce for added flavor. Thus, eating tonkatsu at Katsu becomes an interactive experience.
