I had lunch in Asahikawa! It's been a while since I came to Asahikawa. I visited "Gyukatsu Kobayashi" that I wanted to try after seeing it on someone's blog or something before. I've only had gyukatsu once in Kyoto. It looked delicious, so I wanted to try it again. I arrived around 12:20. I thought it might be crowded during lunchtime on a holiday, but it was empty. The interior has counter seats and raised seating. I wonder if they serve motsu at night? The menu only has gyukatsu and curry, which is straightforward. I ordered the gyukatsu set for 1100 yen. You can choose the amount of rice, and I chose medium. It was served in less than 3 minutes after ordering. Fast! The meat looks delicious! They recommended eating it with soy sauce or rock salt. Let's try it. The crispy coating with medium rare meat is delicious! The combination of juicy and crispy is tasty. I had it with soy sauce and wasabi, and salt and wasabi. The miso soup also has a strong flavor, it's pretty good. After this, I wanted to eat more, so I wish I had ordered a set with more katsu on it. I want to go back again. Thank you for the meal!

To Mr. Kobayashi at Gyukatsu Kobayashi, there were many customers and we were seated in a private room, which made it easier to chat. We tried the rare gyukatsu in Asahikawa. The color in the middle is different to show how it's cooked. Although it didn't come with rock salt as stated, we enjoyed it with soy sauce and wasabi instead. The gyukatsu was surprisingly good, even for those not used to eating beef. The miso soup tasted like it had artificial seasoning, which I didn't like. The potato salad was average, maybe lacking in salt as the flavor was a bit bland. But for 1000 yen before tax, it was a good deal.

Recommended restaurant where I was taken. Ambience: The atmosphere is old-fashioned with dim lighting. It seems to be a popular izakaya at night. By lunchtime, the small raised seating area was full, indicating its popularity. Food: I ordered the beef cutlet set meal. The breading was not too crispy but had a satisfying texture. It was easy to eat with the condiments I preferred. I was happy that I could adjust the amount of rice, and the potato salad side dish was delicious. Overall: It was a hearty lunch that made me feel comforted.

I have been curious about "Gyukatsu" for a while now, Kobayashi-san... But... isn't it beef cutlet? Nowadays, I'm not really in the mood for cutlets... |ω・*) A while back, I had a bit of a painful memory with "Gyukatsu" at another restaurant... full of tendons... If it's a specialty store... it might be delicious, right? The photo doesn't look too bad... it doesn't look bad, right? Haha... that's the feeling... But... with a few years passed, a savior appeared ♬︎ By chance, I had some business in Suehiro area! Hey, do you know about Gyukatsu? Have you tried it before? "Let's go ♬︎" Before I finished saying it, the decision was made (*^ω^*) The restaurant faces a main street but is a bit hard to find... It seems like a store that also does business during the day and night? There is a parking lot next to the store. The interior is dimly lit, but the two female staff members are friendly and cute ♬︎ The menu is limited... [Yokubari Set] for 1500 yen with Gyukatsu, Gyumenchi Katsu, and curry included (*^ω^*) I'm curious about various things, so it's perfect (laughs) Can I finish it all...? If it's delicious, I should be able to do it (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و The waiting time was quite long... The interior is dark, so the photo doesn't come out well, but... Now, how does it taste...? First of all... I can't bite through it... (×Д×lll)!!! Trying to swallow a whole piece is dangerous, so it's time to use my "secret weapon" that I always carry! Haha I try cutting it into 1cm pieces and tasting it, but... the meat quality... it's not just tough, but... how should I put it... it's lean and muscular... um, what does it resemble? "Overcooked octopus"!... that kind of feeling maybe...|ω·`) I've had roast beef, beef tataki, yukhoe, etc., which are raw beef dishes before... but this type of beef was a first for me... |ω·`) I wonder if this was just a one-time thing...?? Unfortunately... it was traumatic level...

I came to buy a souvenir at a new sweets shop and decided to have lunch nearby. When I entered the restaurant, I saw that it was about half full. I was directed to the counter and seated near the entrance. I ordered the Menchi Katsu set meal for 800 yen (excluding tax). The Menchi Katsu was made with Tokachi's Ayami beef and consisted of two thin patties. The breadcrumbs on the coating were coarse and soaked in a lot of oil. The meat was ground roughly with a spicy flavor, so it was hard to judge the quality of the meat itself. I chose a small portion of rice (150g), which was very soft. The miso soup contained seaweed, tofu, and green onions, with a strong dashi flavor but was served lukewarm. I also tried a piece of the Tonkatsu from the Tonkatsu set meal, and I still didn't like the coating. The meat was not tough but had a chewy texture. I now understand why there haven't been many recent reviews about this place.

Up until now, there was a restaurant that I had always been curious about but never had the chance to visit! Finally, I had the opportunity when my grandson's nursery school had a play event nearby. I sat at the counter without even looking at the menu and ordered the "Yokubari Set" which is a luxurious menu with a variety of dishes for 1500 yen. It was a feast that I couldn't resist. The sauces were also diverse and enjoyable. The main dish, the beef cutlet, was so tender and appetizing. The mince cutlet was crispy and juicy, making the rice disappear quickly. The curry was of high quality and very satisfying. I must find another opportunity to visit this place again. I'm already planning to come back for next year's play event. Thank you for the delicious meal!

At night, the restaurant Daruma-san serves delicious yakitori and other dishes. I have been there a few times, but this was my first time trying the lunch menu with the beef cutlet from Time Kobayashi. I arrived around 11:30 am and there was only one other customer. The staff were busy preparing yakitori skewers for the night. I ordered the 120g beef cutlet set (1000 yen) with a topping of grated wasabi (100 yen, both excluding tax). I love wasabi. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes, with shredded cabbage and potato salad on the side, and a medium rare beef cutlet on top. The crispy coating and tender beef were delightful, and the wasabi with soy sauce added a nice kick. The meat was so tender and freshly fried that I couldn't stop eating. There were also regular wasabi and rock salt for flavor variations, keeping the meal interesting until the end. I finished quickly without feeling any discomfort, and left feeling refreshed. I would love to come back again if I have the chance. Delicious beef cutlet, thank you for the meal!

This shop operates as an izakaya "Motsu no Daruma" at night and as "Gyukatsu Kobayashi" during the day. The lunch hours are from 11:00-14:00. The "Gyukatsu & Roast Beef 2 kinds Donburi" that I ordered this time includes a slightly smaller "Gyukatsu Donburi" and a "Roast Beef Donburi" with potato salad and soup for 1,000 yen. They offer it at a great price by purchasing a whole Tokachi Aya beef. The "Gyukatsu" has just the right amount of sear, is tender, fatty, and tastes delicious with wasabi and dashi soy sauce. It also tastes light and delicious with rock salt. The "Roast Beef" is thicker than expected but tender and very tasty. You can choose from large, medium, or small rice portions, and I ordered medium which was sufficient. I definitely want to visit this shop again.

Recently, I had been curious about this restaurant that has been receiving a lot of buzz. I had some business in the area and decided to have an early lunch. The restaurant only serves lunch, but at night, it becomes a popular spot for "motsu kushi" and "motsu nabe" dishes at a place called "Motsu no Daruma", specializing in "motsu cuisine". I arrived around 11:10 am and the place was already bustling with customers. It seems to be quite popular! There aren't many beef cutlet restaurants in Hokkaido, so I was really looking forward to it. The "beef cutlet" comes in three sizes: 120g, 160g (large), and 240g (extra large). I decided to splurge a bit and ordered the "Large Beef Cutlet Set" (1,300 yen including tax)! You can choose the rice size from large (250g), medium (200g), or small (150g) without any price difference. I chose medium (200g) rice. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes and it looked beautifully presented. One piece of the cutlet was placed with the cut side facing up, which I assume is for photo-taking purposes. The quality of the ingredients really stood out. It had a nice visual appeal. The dish came with three small plates, one with pickles and the other two with "dashi soy sauce" and "rock salt" to accompany the beef cutlet. I enjoyed the beef cutlet with wasabi and either the "dashi soy sauce" or "rock salt". The beef cutlet was cooked rare, with tender meat. It was a refreshing dish. The menu mentioned that they use Aimi beef raised on the vast lands of Tokachi. The dressing for the cabbage was a light soy-flavored dressing which complemented the dish well. Despite the price being over 1,000 yen, I was very satisfied with the meal!

I thought it would cost around ¥2000 for lunch, but no way!!! This was only ¥1000 + ¥300 (for the minced cutlet)!!! I think I'll be going here every month now! There are already so few beef cutlet restaurants, and if they're this delicious, I'll definitely be back! The way they carefully line up the slices with a side view shows their dedication to the perfect frying. They also explain how to eat it without being too pushy. The minced cutlet meat has a coarse texture that still retains juiciness, and it was really delicious. I'm actually not a fan of minced cutlets, but this one was great! I love pork cutlets, but beef cutlets really make you feel luxurious, right?

It's been a while since I visited Gyukatsu Kobayashi. I've been on a bit of a fried food kick lately, not really sharing reviews, but I've been eating things like pork cutlet bowls and pork cutlet curry from a certain chain restaurant, so I guess I really like fried foods. But gyukatsu (beef cutlet) is actually quite light and tasty. This time, I ordered the Large Gyukatsu Set (1,300 yen) that I had last time, and also added a side of minced beef cutlet (300 yen). It was quite busy, but the food came out relatively quickly. The gyukatsu this time seemed a bit overcooked compared to last time. It was still delicious though. The potato salad that I enjoyed last time had a lighter curry flavor this time, both in color and taste. A bit disappointing. The minced beef cutlet was made from thinly sliced meat pounded with a knife, not ground meat. It was tender and the meat flavor came through clearly without any fillers. Delicious. And just like last time, the soy sauce dip was a better match than the salt. The curry seemed to be popular among the other customers. I want to try the curry, eat more minced beef cutlet, and of course, the gyukatsu with its light and delicious lean meat. I'm already thinking about what to eat next time.

I have always wanted to visit the restaurant "Kobayashi" for their beef cutlet, and finally, on this day, I decided to have lunch here. We arrived just before the opening time of 11:00 and were the first customers of the day. We sat at the counter and looked at the menu. After much deliberation, we ordered the following: Me: Large beef cutlet set for 1300 yen Friend: Tokachi Ayame beef sirloin for 1500 yen We also added wasabi for 100 yen. We chatted leisurely while waiting for our food. However, more and more customers kept coming in. By noon, about 80% of the seats were filled. In the past, Hokkaido was predominantly a pork culture, but times have changed, and the food culture has evolved as well. Finally, our food arrived. The optional wasabi was added on top. The meat had a beautiful pink color and a resilient texture, making it easy to eat. However, there were some flaws in the breading, with some parts peeling off and the frying not uniform. My friend's beef sirloin was very tender and had a refined texture. Since it was sirloin, it was lean and healthy. Overall, my long-awaited visit to Kobayashi was very satisfying. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited the restaurant during lunchtime and ordered the beef cutlet with wasabi topping. Normally, it is eaten with wasabi paste and soy sauce, but I prefer to eat it with pink salt and wasabi. The beef cutlet was not too greasy, allowing me to fully enjoy the taste. The beef cutlet set meal includes beef cutlet, cabbage, potato salad, rice, miso soup, and pickles for 1000 yen, and with the wasabi topping it costs 1210 yen in total including tax. It is a great deal considering the taste and price. You can also increase the amount of beef cutlet, or try the delicious menchi katsu and curry set meal for 1500 yen excluding tax, which is recommended for those who want to eat more. It is light on the stomach even after eating, making it suitable for women as well. You can have a happy lunchtime and enjoy a wonderful meal.

Visit on June 22, 2021! The "Yokubari Set" (Beef Cutlet & Curry) for 1,500 yen.

I tried some extremely rare meat. Red meat is delicious!
