I went to the tonkatsu specialty restaurant "Kimukatsu Kyoto Karasuma Store" in Kyoto Karasuma. They serve tonkatsu made by stacking thinly sliced ​​delicious parts of pork loin in a mille-feuille style. The restaurant is also proud of the delicious Niigata Koshihikari rice served in a wooden box. They have a special menu for social media users called "Special Roll Katsu Three Variety Assorted Set" for 1,500 yen (tax included), which includes pizza-style, Kyoto Kujo green onion salt flavor, and deliciously spicy garlic flavors. The set comes with freshly cooked rice, miso soup, pickles, and cabbage. The pizza-style katsu goes well with tonkatsu sauce, while the green onion salt flavor has a strong green onion taste. The garlic flavor is just right and appetizing. The social media limited menu can be enjoyed until the end of January 2023, so follow their account to enjoy this limited menu. The flavors may change in the future. The most popular recommended menu is the "Kimukatsu Set" for 1,848 yen (tax included), which includes the popular mille-feuille katsu with a choice of 7 flavors. I chose the option with melting cheese, which oozes out from between the layers of katsu. The crispy coating and juicy pork loin are amazing. The restaurant is located in the basement of COCON Karasuma, just a short walk from Hankyu Railway Karasuma Station. The entrance has a luxurious feel, and the lighting is calming, making it a relaxing place to dine. I went for lunch with my friends from Kyoto, and we had a luxurious lunch together. It was a delicious meal, and we had a great day. It seems like a great place for a date night for couples.

I tried Mille-feuille Katsu for the first time. The breading is quite voluminous. You can choose from several flavors for the katsu, and this time I chose black pepper. It has a strong pepper flavor that goes well with seaweed salt. I was happy that I could have seconds of cabbage, pickles, rice, and miso soup. The lunch is a bit pricey, so I wanted to get my money's worth with the seconds. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation for 11:30. I ordered the Half Katsu & Minced Katsu set for 1580 yen from a young staff member. However, the manager came and informed me that there is a limited-time set with the same contents for 1500 yen. I thought the manager was very considerate. The set includes shredded cabbage, pickles, miso soup, and freshly cooked rice in a box. You can have seconds of everything except the pickles, making it a great choice for those with a big appetite. The katsu is layered and cut into bite-sized pieces, making it easy to eat even for children. It was hot, tender, and juicy. The minced katsu was also delicious. The rice was tasty with distinct grains, and the miso soup was flavorful. You can also enjoy different sauces like tonkatsu sauce, ponzu, rock salt for flavor variation.

I was looking for a place to have lunch in the area of Shijo Karasuma, and I came across a tonkatsu restaurant in the basement of a building! I decided to give it a try. I arrived around 11:30 and was able to be seated without waiting. The restaurant had a limited number of seats, and soon there was a line forming outside. I recommend arriving a bit early. It seems like this restaurant also has branches in Tokyo. As for the taste, at first glance, it didn't seem very filling, but as is typical at tonkatsu restaurants, you can have unlimited refills of cabbage and rice, so I ended up feeling satisfied. The tonkatsu was of the layered type. I personally prefer the non-layered type, but it was still delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Today I had work in Shijo Karasuma again, so for lunch I went to Kimukatsu Kyoto Karasuma store. I have been a regular customer at Kimukatsu, particularly at the Namba store, for about 15 years now. I ordered the Karasuma limited set, which comes with Kimukatsu, menchi katsu, rice, salad, pickles, and miso soup. You can have unlimited refills of rice, salad, pickles, and miso soup, which is great! The tonkatsu was a delicious mille-feuille katsu, crispy and tasty. The menchi katsu was surprisingly large and juicy, very delicious. The menu photos don't do justice to the actual portion sizes, so I think they should consider updating them. Overall, the restaurant has potential but there are some areas for improvement.

I had been wanting to try the Mille-Feuille Tonkatsu at "Ebisu Kimukatsu" for a while, and I happened to hear that there was a branch near my accommodation in Kyoto. I decided to visit the restaurant and ordered the "Kimukatsu Half & Hirekatsu Lunch Set" along with an additional "Menchi Katsu". The restaurant was located near Shijo Station, making it easy to access even during the busy lunch hour. The finely shredded cabbage and freshly cooked rice were served first, followed by the katsu dishes. The Mille-Feuille Tonkatsu was deliciously tender as expected, and I enjoyed it with both the special grated ponzu sauce and salt. It was a delightful lunch experience.

Located a short distance from Shijo Station and Karasuma Station. Today, I had lunch here. The interior has counter seats and table seats, with the main menu being katsu. I ordered the Kimukatsu lunch set with the option to choose the flavor of the katsu, but I chose plain. Let's dig in! First, cabbage and pickles arrived. I usually wait for everything to be ready before eating, but since refills are free, you can eat them first. After about 15 minutes, the main dish of Kimukatsu, rice, and miso soup arrived. The Kimukatsu is made with layered pork belly, similar to a mille-feuille katsu, moist and a flavor I personally enjoy. There are tonkatsu sauce and ponzu sauce on the table for you to use as you like. The rice is delicious and served in a traditional wooden rice container for you to serve yourself. The miso soup, with plenty of ingredients, is also free for refills. Overall, it was a satisfying meal! The price is a bit on the higher side, but the taste justifies it. One downside was that the service was a bit slow, and the floor was a bit sticky. As mentioned earlier, everything except the katsu is free for refills, making it convenient for when you're really hungry. Being located underground directly connected to the station, it's a great choice even on rainy days.

My daughter found out about this place from TikTok and we decided to have lunch here during our day trip to Kyoto. We arrived at 12:45 on a Tuesday and sat at the crowded counter with three people. We ordered the Kimukatsu lunch with cheese and black pepper. The cabbage arrived first and I saw the person next to me sprinkling sesame seeds on it, so I tried it too. The sesame flavor was strong and delicious! The dressing options were shiso or mayonnaise only (I would have preferred sesame dressing). We also had a sauce dish with sauce, ponzu, and salt. The pork cutlet, miso soup, and a large bowl of rice arrived next. The miso soup was okay, the rice was chewy and glossy and very tasty. The layered pork cutlet was tender and delicious. I started with the safe choice of sauce, but found that ponzu was the best match. Usually, pork cutlet places have you eat with sauce and sesame, but ponzu also goes well (^^). They offer unlimited miso soup and rice refills, but I wanted to eat until I was 80% full so I didn't have seconds. We really enjoyed the delicious pork cutlet! However, it's a bit far from Osaka to Kyoto. I would love to visit again when I come back to Kyoto!

Located on B1F of COCON KARASUMA in Shijo-Karasuma, I revisited the tonkatsu restaurant after trying their Kimukatsu set before. This time, I tried their exclusive off-menu item available only to those who follow the shop's Instagram account. Special Roll Katsu Trio Set - 1,500 yen (tax included) (Rice, miso soup, and pickles are free for refills) The roll katsu comes in three flavors: pizza-style, green onion salt, and savory garlic. Each flavor offers a different taste experience, with the green onion salt being a Kyoto-inspired dish using Kujo negi. Personally, I enjoyed the savory garlic flavor the most. The shop is also developing new flavors, so I look forward to trying them in the future. This special Roll Katsu Trio Set is limited until the end of January next year, so if you're interested, follow the shop's Instagram and give it a try.

In the underground of Koko Karasuma in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City. The prices are high, but after 12 o'clock even on weekdays, the food is pretty good. The ramen shop next door always has a long line. Today, I used some almost expired points to have lunch at a restaurant that I can't afford to eat at regularly. The daily lunch set costs 1100 yen and includes "Kimukatsu," which is thinly sliced pork cutlet (plain) with grated daikon radish. It's refreshing to eat it with daikon radish, but it tasted even better with sauce and ground sesame seeds. The warm rice in the wooden rice container is plentiful, but I couldn't finish it all. The miso soup, cabbage, and rice are all-you-can-eat. If the price were a bit lower, I would be completely satisfied. (I guess I should go to a different restaurant if I want that...) The small counter seats create a nice atmosphere for dining.

Thinly sliced pork loin rolled into the original mille-feuille tonkatsu by Kimukatsu-san. It's light and easy to eat, and I love it so much. I tried a limited special menu that can only be ordered by those who have seen the introduction on Instagram. The special menu is the "Special Roll Katsu Three Flavors Assorted Plate" for 1500 yen (tax included). The three flavors available this time are: Pizza-style, Negi Salt (using Kyoto Kujo Negi), and Umami Spicy Garlic. Kimukatsu-san offers a variety of flavors, so it's hard to choose, but with this special menu, you can try all three flavors. I love Negi Salt, and the Pizza and Garlic flavors were also delicious. To order this secret menu, you need to: 1. Show the staff the Instagram post that introduced it. 2. Follow Kimukatsu Karasuma store on Instagram @Kimukatsu_Karasuma. You can enjoy this special Roll Katsu Three Flavors Assorted Plate until the end of January 2023. Another dish we enjoyed was the "Kimukatsu Set" with Ume Shiso flavor, which we shared with friends. Ume Shiso is a classic choice. Kimukatsu-san comes with freshly cooked rice in a wooden rice tub, miso soup, pickles, and unlimited cabbage refill. I wonder why we can eat so much cabbage when we have tonkatsu? We ate a lot and were so happy. I will definitely go back to try different flavors.

Located in the underground COCON Karasuma directly connected to the Karasuma Oike Station, this tonkatsu restaurant has its main branch in Ebisu, Tokyo and is expanding nationwide. The interior has both counter seats and table seats. I visited in the early afternoon and ordered the Kimukatsu Lunch Set (¥1375). You can choose from several flavors for the katsu, and I chose black pepper. While waiting for the katsu to be fried, I helped myself to unlimited cabbage to stave off hunger. The katsu was cut into 8 pieces, making it easy to eat. The set also comes with all-you-can-eat freshly cooked rice from the pot, miso soup, and pickles. There is a manual sesame grinder on the table, which is convenient. I enjoyed the meal very much.

This menu is exclusive to Instagram followers until the end of January 2023, with the possibility of a new flavor being introduced in February. I ordered the "Kimukatsu Set" which allows you to choose from 7 flavors, and decided to split it with a friend. The set also includes unlimited shredded cabbage. The Three Flavors Rolled Cutlet Set includes Pizza flavor, Negi Shio flavor (made with Kujo green onions), and Umakara Garlic flavor. The pork cutlets are thinly sliced and tender, resembling a mille-feuille. The Kimukatsu flavor I chose was cheese, with generous amounts of cheese sandwiched between the pork slices. The meal was delicious, especially when paired with the accompanying sauces. The rice in the wooden rice tub was glossy and flavorful on its own. The combination of tonkatsu and rice was perfect. Enjoyed the meal!

I saw a campaign on Instagram and decided to go. There were many options to choose from, but I ended up choosing this one! The clothes were crispy and went well with rice. I was able to have unlimited rice refills. I made a reservation, so I was able to enjoy delicious food in a private room at the back.

Located on the B1 floor of COCON KARASUMA in Kyoto, there is a tonkatsu restaurant called Kimukatsu ZEN for 1,100 yen (usually 1,848 yen). You can choose from 7 flavors of Kimukatsu, and this time I chose the garlic flavor. The ultra-thin slices of pork are stacked like mille-feuille, crispy, tender, and delicious. Rice, miso soup, cabbage, and pickles are all-you-can-eat. If you mention that you saw it on Instagram, it will be 1,100 yen (campaign until the end of October).

[About the restaurant] - Established in Ebisu, with expansion overseas - Milfeuille Katsu is the signature menu [Kim Katsu Set] ¥1,848 - Choose from 7 flavors, I chose yuzu pepper and plum shiso - Both go well with pork and make the rice go down smoothly! - You can have seconds of rice, cabbage, miso soup, pickles, and pickled vegetables! - The rice is served in an o-hitsu (wooden rice container), so you don't have to ask for refills frequently, which is nice (laughs) - Thanks to the o-hitsu, the shiny and fluffy rice is very delicious [Atmosphere of the restaurant] - Located in the basement of Cocoon Karasuma, so the atmosphere is quite nice - The number of seats is relatively small - Luxurious interior [Sakiti's Point] - Until the end of October 2022, the 1860 yen Kim Katsu Set will be 1100 yen if you mention "I saw it on Instagram!" - Since the number of seats is small, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance?! - Even if you are dining alone, there is plenty of space, so it's also good for a work lunch!

Visited in September 2022 ◎ At the time of posting, the restaurant has a rating of 3.25 on Tabelog (from 129 reviews). ■ Kimkatsu Set Meal for 1,848 yen → 1,100 yen * Includes cabbage, rice, and miso soup with free refills I had lunch at "Kimkatsu Kyoto Karasuma Store" located in the B1F restaurant area of cocon karasuma, directly connected to Karasuma Station (^_^)/ You can enjoy it for 1,100 yen with a discount of 748 yen from the regular price by saying "I saw it on Instagram" (until the end of November). When I entered the restaurant, it was almost full, but luckily there was a vacant table for four, so no waiting! I thought I could easily find a seat as it was past 2 o'clock, but it seems to be quite popular. This time, I ordered the cost-effective Kimkatsu set meal! You can choose from 7 flavors, and today I chose "cheese." While waiting and eating the unlimited shredded cabbage, the main dish arrived (๑•̀∀-). The Kimkatsu is thinly sliced and easy to eat, with a volume of 130g! It feels even softer as the pork loin meat is thinly sliced like a mille-feuille. The cheese is sandwiched between the pork, and it tastes delicious whether you eat it with just the sauce, with mayonnaise, or with mustard to make it into a spicy mayonnaise sauce. It was deliciously salty, so I recommend trying it with salt as well. Opening the rice container... the glossy rice looks delicious! The plump rice had just the right amount of moisture and was delicious (ᵕ̤ૢᴗᵕ̤ૢ) Cabbage and rice were so satisfying that I even had a refill once, and now my stomach is full (≧∇≦)b Thank you for the meal.

This time, I visited "Kimukatsu Kyoto Karasuma Store". It's a place where you can enjoy crispy and delicious tonkatsu. They also share store videos on Instagram @miyan_oisii. - Atmosphere: Calm and cozy wooden interior - Food: Various katsu set menus - Price range: Good value for money Zdravstvuyte! (Hello in Russian) It's Miyan. This restaurant is located in the Karasuma area of Kyoto. The original tonkatsu is made by layering extremely thin pork loin 25 times before frying, resulting in a delicate and crispy texture. The layers are so thin that they crumble easily when you take a bite. You can choose from various fillings like cheese, green onion salt, black pepper, plum shiso, garlic, and yuzu pepper. The crispy, crunchy texture when you bite into it is irresistible. - The rice is delicious: The freshly cooked rice is Niigata Koshihikari. The miso soup, pickles, and unlimited cabbage make it a satisfying meal. In summary, I ordered the following menu for 1680 yen: - Kimukatsu set with mille-feuille katsu: 1680 yen This place is popular among women for its light and healthy tonkatsu. Even though I went during off-peak hours, the place was almost full. Thank you for the meal. Spasiba za ugaschenie! (Goodbye in Russian)

You can choose your favorite flavor from the seven flavors of Kimukatsu set. I ordered plum and shiso flavor along with cheese, black pepper, green onion salt, garlic, yuzu pepper, and plum and shiso. The juicy mille-feuille cutlet with plum and shiso has a refreshing taste that goes well with the rice. The crispy cutlet with melty cheese is even juicier and irresistible! You can enjoy various sauces like salt, ponzu, and more. It's also nice to have shiny rice served in a wooden rice tub. Plus, they offer free refills not only for rice but also for cabbage, miso soup, and pickles!
