We visited the restaurant around 7:30 PM with 3 people. There were only a few seats available at the counter, so we had to wait for about 10 minutes before sitting side by side at the counter. For groups of 3 or more, there is only one table near the restroom, while there are about 3 small tables for 2 people each and the counter seating for about 7 people. The rare beef cutlet options - sirloin, loin, and fillet - were all delicious, and the rice was cooked perfectly.

I visited in the evening and there was only one customer. I felt a little uneasy but decided to enter. I ordered the beef loin cutlet set meal. The taste was decently good, but the impression of the staff was somewhat negative. Next time, I would like to sit at a table instead of the counter.

I arrived at the restaurant a little after 11 o'clock on Tuesday and was the first customer. There were four staff members and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered the beef sirloin cutlet and eel cutlet set with a draft beer. I was impressed that there was no price increase. I also had miso soup and extra rice. It was delicious. I saved 100 yen with a LINE coupon.

Today's lunch was a luxurious beef cutlet. I ordered the loin beef cutlet with grated ponzu sauce for 1680 yen (excluding tax), so it goes over 1800 yen with tax included. I honestly wished they would display the tax-included price prominently at the time of payment. However, the meat was delicious. There were various sauces like grated ponzu, curry sauce, wasabi soy sauce, regular sauce, and sansho salt for flavor variations. The coating was crispy, and the meat was rare. A hot plate is provided, so if you like your meat well-done, you can cook it further. If you become LINE friends, you can get free refills of rice, cabbage, and miso soup!

- Beef loin cutlet set meal ¥1,749 - Beef loin cutlet Kyoto-tama set meal ¥1,815 I often crave beef cutlets. Kachigai, a popular beef cutlet spot, has many branches so I often visit the one where I can get in without waiting. The meat was very tender and delicious. I personally love eating it with wasabi. However, I don't think I'll be going to the Musashi-Koyama branch anymore because the chatty part-time staff were quite noisy and distracting.

I ate too much. I think the extra rice helped. I chose the seasonal limited cold yellowtail cutlet because it's cold yellowtail. The miso soup was red miso, with a strong flavor. There was a large serving of cabbage, and the free refills were amazing (even though I couldn't eat enough to get a refill). I started with the added tongue, which had a firm texture and a tongue-like flavor. The sirloin was very tender. The yellowtail cutlet was also very good, and I was full.

I realized that I had visited another store a long time ago when I looked it up, it was already over 4 years ago. At that time, I went for lunch because there was training nearby, so I had the lunch menu, but this time it was close to 5 pm so I had the regular menu. It was still early for dinner, so there weren't many customers and I got a seat right away. I found out that if you become friends on LINE, you can have unlimited rice, miso soup, and cabbage. ⚫︎Draft beer 528 yen. It was a black label and it was delicious. ⚫︎Beef sirloin cutlet and jumbo shrimp cutlet set meal 1859 yen. It was a bit pricey, but I was drawn to the limited time offer. I ordered a beer and waited for the food to arrive. It came in less than 10 minutes. The meat was thin! It was only about half the size of the picture on the menu? (-｡-; The taste was delicious. There was a solid fuel-heated plate provided so you could cook the meat yourself. I like my meat medium-rare, so I cooked it quite a bit, but it remained tender, showing that they use good quality meat. It was tasty. However, it was thin. The sauces provided were dashi soy sauce, yuzu pepper salt, beef cutlet sauce, and Kyoto curry dipping sauce. I tried it with dashi soy sauce and beef cutlet sauce. I didn't try the curry sauce with the meat because I thought it might overpower the flavor, so I only dipped the cabbage in it, which was also good. The shrimp was thick and juicy, with a crispy coating. The original Kyoto pickled vegetable tartar sauce wasn't too strong, and it complemented the shrimp cutlet well. Overall, the prices were a bit high, but the food was delicious. There were quite a few customers ordering takeout, so I might try the takeout menu next time.

The restaurant serves delicious beef cutlet and has multiple branches, making it a chain. I ordered the beef cutlet, minced cutlet set meal with an additional shrimp cutlet. The miso soup was decent, and the salad dressing was tasty. I started with the shrimp cutlet, which came with tartar sauce that had a hint of shiso flavor, making it slightly tangy. I would have preferred regular tartar sauce. The curry sauce that came with the meal was versatile and tasted great with both the cutlets and rice. When I dipped the minced cutlet in the curry sauce, it soaked up the flavors perfectly. The beef cutlet remained tender and delicious until the last bite. I regret not asking for a hot plate at the beginning to keep the food warm until the end.

I visited the restaurant around 2 pm on a weekday and found the interior quiet with only one other male customer. The cutlets that came out looked quite different from the menu photos, much smaller and very thin. The thickness varied, with some being as thin as 1 cm. It reminded me of the thinness of a big cutlet snack. The staff were chatting loudly, and their conversation seemed to be a complaint session about their shifts. Overall, not a great experience.

I was thinking about where to eat eel on the midsummer day of the ox, and decided to enter this restaurant because they had a sign advertising eel. I ordered the thick-cut beef loin cutlet and beef tongue cutlet set meal, along with a side of eel cutlet. The beef cutlets had a noticeable difference in meat quality, but the taste of the meat itself was a bit bland and lacked the texture of beef. The classic menu items were a bit disappointing. The eel cutlet, on the other hand, had a delicious eel flavor and was quite satisfying, especially when dipped in the special sweet and savory sauce with a soft-boiled egg. The price may be a bit high compared to eel imported from neighboring countries.

I entered the restaurant at 11:00 and was the first customer. I showed a coupon for a free topping of mini-menchi katsu, and ordered a draft beer along with the summer limited edition eel and beef cutlet. It was my first time trying eel cutlet. I tried it with the recommended half-cooked egg sauce and it was delicious, but I enjoyed it more with the sansho salt since it's eel. The sirloin cutlet was average. The mini-menchi katsu was hot and tasty, probably because it was free. I had extra rice and red miso soup. Since the restaurant had been open for 3 months, the staff were experienced and provided good service. Thank you for the meal.

At first glance, it may seem like a small portion, but the amount is actually sufficient. The meat is served rare and you can grill it yourself on a small iron plate with solid fuel, similar to what you would find in a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn). The meat is very delicious and tender. I liked it so much that I even got a bento box for my child to take home. The taste and the staff at the restaurant were great. The only downside is that the prices could be a little lower.

Lunchtime in Musashi-Koyama was crowded everywhere with people waiting, so I decided to try this place where I could be seated right away. However, I was made to wait at the entrance, and then the customers who arrived after me were seated at the counter without any explanation. We were a party of two, so I don't know why that happened, but it was a bit of a letdown, haha. We were eventually led to the second-floor seating area after a short wait. We looked at the menu, and since it was my first time trying beef cutlet, I opted for the loin to play it safe. My daughter went for the challenging choice of roast tongue. When the food arrived after a decent wait, I found that, like tonkatsu in general, the rare frying method didn't make much sense to me. It didn't bring out any special flavor, and the texture wasn't particularly enjoyable. For the price of around 2000 yen, I think choosing pork cutlet would have been a better option. The condiments included soy sauce, sansho pepper salt, sauce, and curry sauce, creating a variety of flavors to enjoy, but the curry sauce was a no-go, and the sansho pepper salt didn't have much of a sansho flavor. Overall, including the cabbage, unfortunately, there was nothing that I found delicious.

Beef tongue and fillet cutlet combo: 2,354 yen. The price and presentation are luxurious, making you go "wow." The miso soup has a strong flavor of red dashi. The rice is delicious and fluffy. The meat has a good taste, but the beef tongue may be slightly tough. It provides a nice chewy texture, but the quality of the meat may be a bit lacking. The fillet is tender and remains good even as it cools down towards the end.

Just before 3:00 PM, I went to Musashi-Koyama for lunch after a long time. The tempura restaurant I wanted to go to had a line of 3 groups waiting, so I decided to go to this beef cutlet restaurant instead. It has been about 8 years since I last ate beef cutlets at "Gyukatsu Okada" in Shinbashi. This beef cutlet restaurant from Kyoto caught my interest. There were about 5-6 groups of customers inside. I sat at the counter and ordered the following: - Beef sirloin and loin cutlet with Kyoto-style egg set for 1,590 yen - Additional cutlet of fillet for 960 yen (both prices excluding tax) I imagined the beef cutlets to be quite voluminous based on the menu photos, but when the beef sirloin and loin cutlet with Kyoto-style egg set was served, the actual size of the cutlets was smaller and thinner than I expected, almost the size of a sweet potato tempura... a little disappointing compared to my expectations. However, the fillet cutlet that was brought later was thick. Without the additional cutlet, it felt a bit unsatisfying for someone with a big appetite. The rice, miso soup, and cabbage were refillable for those who add the restaurant on LINE as a friend... I did it right away. The beef cutlets were fried rare, so they lacked a bit of chewiness, but you can enjoy them in various ways with different sauces, condiments, and salt. The onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg) and Japanese-style curry dipping sauce were quite delicious when poured over the extra rice I got. The rice, miso soup, and cabbage were all tasty, and I had seconds of each. Thank you for the meal. * The restaurant is wheelchair and baby stroller friendly, but it's always a good idea to check with the restaurant before visiting. Takeout is also available.

On April 9, 2022, I visited this restaurant for the first time alone. It is a Kyoto-based beef cutlet specialty store under the umbrella of Gorip Co., Ltd., which also operates chains of steak, izakaya, and ramen shops. With about 75 stores nationwide, many people may have seen their signboards before. The menu includes: - Original Red, Beef Sirloin Cutlet Set (1529 yen) - Famous White, Beef Sirloin Cutlet Set (1639 yen) - Beef Fillet Cutlet Kyoto Tamago Set (2299 yen) - Thick-cut Beef Tongue Cutlet Set (2189 yen) - Wagyu Beef Cutlet Kyoto Tamago Set (2849 yen) - Beef Cutlet Greedy Set (3069 yen) ... featuring sirloin, loin, fillet, and tongue cuts There are also a variety of half-and-half combination sets available. The dish I had was the "Beef Sirloin Cutlet and Thick-cut Beef Tongue Cutlet Set" (2024 yen) with rice and miso soup. The accompanying dipping sauces were dashi soy sauce, sansho pepper salt, and beef cutlet sauce, along with a side dish of green chili miso. As for the beef cutlets, they were closer to rare than the medium rare stated in the description. The beef sirloin cutlet was a bit smaller than expected but had a crispy coating with fine breadcrumbs. I enjoyed it with wasabi and dashi soy sauce. However, I felt the meat's flavor was a bit lacking and regretted not choosing the Wagyu beef option. The beef tongue cutlet had a good chewy texture, but I thought it would have been tastier if cooked a bit longer. It paired well with the sansho pepper salt. While the rare presentation looked appetizing, I had some doubts about its flavor. I also had a Highball drink (418 yen). Overall, the specialization in beef cutlets is impressive, and the variety of Japanese-style seasonings adds to the dining experience. It's a good place to try beef cutlets, especially for those new to the dish. The restaurant's location in Musashi-Koyama has seen rising rents due to station redevelopment, making it challenging for individual businesses to survive. Despite the tough conditions, the restaurant industry is starting to recover from the pandemic, leading to a resurgence of new openings. It's encouraging to see specialty stores like this one thrive, and I hope they continue to improve their operations. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant at 11:00. It seems that the toilet is broken even though the place just opened. I ordered the Beef Loin Cutlet Kyoto Tamazan (excluding tax) for \1,580, a draft beer (excluding tax) for \480, and a Beef Cutlet Bento for takeout (excluding tax) for \1,280. The cutlet is finely chopped so even children can easily eat it. When I asked for a rice refill, they told me to register on LINE. I hurried to register and finally got my rice refill. If the toilet hadn't been broken, I might have had another drink.

I was delighted to hear that a new restaurant had opened in Musashi-Koyama, but it turned out to be a branch of the chain restaurant "Kyoto Katsugyu." The Kyoto-based "Katsugyu" has rapidly expanded its network of stores, with over 50 stores nationwide and several stores overseas. I visited the new branch and found that the menu mainly consists of four types of beef cutlets: sirloin, loin, fillet, and beef tongue. The prices are on the higher side, with the cheapest sirloin costing 1529 yen. The restaurant has counter seats, table seats, and even seating on the second floor. The beef cutlet was served rare with a crispy coating and a moist texture. It was served with various condiments such as sansho pepper salt, dashi soy sauce, wasabi, beef cutlet sauce, and curry. The beef cutlet was enjoyable, especially when paired with dashi soy sauce. Rice, red miso soup, and cabbage are refillable for free with LINE registration. Overall, the meal was satisfying, but the cost may be a bit high compared to other options available.

The long shopping street in the center of this town is bustling with activity as spring has fully arrived, and children are happily playing near the station. Musashikoyama is a popular residential area with good access to the city center. With some free time on my hands, I decided to take a leisurely stroll around the shopping street. Among the old-fashioned cafes, local flower shops, and new dining establishments, a new restaurant caught my eye today - "Kyoto Katsugyu Musashikoyama." This restaurant specializes in beef cutlets, not pork cutlets. For those unfamiliar, it is a chain restaurant known for its delicious flavors. Now, let's savor a rare fried beef cutlet with wasabi. The crispy coating, tender meat, and refreshing absence of excess oil make for a delightful dining experience. Pairing it with wasabi enhances the dish with a unique Japanese flavor. The prices range from 1,500 to 2,000 yen, making it a reasonable option for those seeking a slightly luxurious meal. As for the music recommendation, before entering the restaurant, I suggest listening to the theme from "The King's Restaurant." The freshly opened restaurant exudes a sense of excitement, with enthusiastic staff members creating a welcoming atmosphere. It's the local community of Musashikoyama that will nurture this new addition to the shopping street. Let's hope this restaurant thrives for a long time, fostering connections among people in the neighborhood. Whether it's a lunch on payday, a secret housewife gathering, a weekend meal for couples, or a celebratory dinner after a win at the nearby pachinko parlor, any occasion is perfect for indulging in a little luxury today.

I visited the Kyoto Katsugyu Musashi Koyama store, which opened on March 31st. I quickly registered on LINE and had unlimited free refills of rice and cabbage. The cabbage refill is a must! The beef cutlet was consistently delicious. I personally enjoy eating it with wasabi. I also ordered the tongue cutlet as an addition, which was also really tasty. They offer takeout as well, so it's a good option to enjoy their food outside during this season.
