What is "Special Cold Katsu-don"?

1. freshly deep-fried pork cutlet made using the traditional method

Katsuyoshi is a tonkatsu specialty restaurant that has been in business for 65 years. Tonkatsu is made from selected Japanese brand pork, cut into thick slices, and deep-fried slowly in low-temperature corn salad oil. Tonkatsu tastes best when it is freshly fried. Freshly fried pork cutlets are also used in our special chilled pork cutlet bowl. 2.


2. cold rice and summer vegetables.

Pour cold soup stock over white rice that has been rinsed under running water. Serve with freshly fried "tonkatsu" and finish with summer vegetables (cucumber, okra, grated yam) and condiments (myoga, green shiso, neri ume, wasabi). The neri ume is a blend of two types of Nanko ume from Minabe, Wakayama Prefecture. 3.


3) Special soup stock with ice

Hot tonkatsu is served in a special soup stock with ice. The broth is made from dried bonito flakes from Makurazaki, Kagoshima Prefecture, Makurazaki, Hokkaido, and niboshi (dried sardines) from Kujukuri, Chiba Prefecture.

The soy sauce is a special soy sauce made by Maruyama Miso Soy Sauce Brewery, which has a history of over 100 years in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture. We blend "dark and light" soy sauce. 4.
