Katsuji, operated by Atom Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Takeshi Ueda), a member of the Colowide Group, has renewed its grand menu.
In recent times, fuel and commodity prices have continued to soar, making it common to see products with reduced content despite unchanged prices. In this environment, Katsuji, driven by the desire to "deliver a dish that satisfies both stomach and heart," has begun offering a new grand menu with an average approximately 20% increase in pork products.
The main pork used is "corn-fed pork," known for its fine texture and juicy umami, with a focus on freshness. Furthermore, this renewal involved a fundamental and comprehensive review of the entire cooking process, from how the pork is cut, the pressure applied when breading, to the time allowed for residual heat after frying. We aim to achieve a crisper, lighter coating and softer, juicier meat, pursuing the unique deliciousness of Katsuji's tonkatsu, where umami spreads in your mouth with every bite.
Moreover, with the theme of "quality and price you can agree with, for everyone to enjoy," this grand menu also features an enhanced lineup beyond tonkatsu. This includes a combination plate of Ton-teki (pork steak) and Loin Cutlet, whose fragrant sauce and hearty garlic evoke appetite; the Shrimp Cutlet, revived after approximately 10 years due to customer requests with enhanced volume and flavor; and Chicken Nanban, popular with families. These menus cater to various generations and moods. Additionally, the indispensable miso soup for set meals has also been increased in portion, allowing customers to enjoy an even more satisfying meal.
Despite these renewals, overall prices have been kept stable, maintaining an affordable price point for everyday use. "Today I'll have this, next time I'll try that." With this new grand menu that expands such delights, Katsuji will continue to deliver satisfaction beyond the price and unchanging, reliable deliciousness.
