Kyoto Katsugyu at Airside: Popular Dishes

It's been a while since I had katsu beef, so my friends and I decided to visit Kyoto Katsugyu at Airside. Even on a weekday evening, the place was packed, and the aroma of katsu beef filled the air as soon as we walked in. Four Cuts Beef Set $328 We ordered the restaurant's most popular Four Cuts Beef Set, which includes four different cuts of katsu beef: grain-fed sirloin, filet, ribeye, and marinated thin beef. The beef is quickly fried for about 60 seconds to achieve a medium-rare to medium doneness, with the center still pink but without any blood. If you prefer your beef more well-done, the restaurant provides a pan for you to cook it a bit more. The sirloin is the most tender, while the filet and ribeye have a richer flavor. The thin beef has a slightly minced texture, and the marinade is very flavorful. The katsu beef can be enjoyed with curry sauce, miso sauce, steak sauce, sansho pepper salt, or vinegar sauce, each offering a unique taste. The set also includes an onsen egg, unlimited rice, Kyoto cabbage, and miso soup. Sukiyaki Hot Pot Set $188 We also ordered the Sukiyaki Hot Pot, which comes with beef, enoki mushrooms, vermicelli, cabbage, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and other ingredients. The beef is quite tender, and dipping it in raw egg enhances its smoothness and adds a rich egg flavor. The hot pot set also includes rice and miso soup. Rich Matcha Red Bean Lava Cake $52 In addition to katsu beef, they also offer desserts. The matcha lava cake has a strong matcha flavor, with a soft matcha center, and is served with vanilla ice cream, making it sweet and satisfying. Strawberry Red Bean Ice Cream Sandwich $58 This ice cream sandwich features a crispy fried exterior with ice cream inside, offering a delightful contrast of textures. The strawberry ice cream adds to the overall satisfaction. Red Bean Uji Matcha $36 For drinks, my friend ordered the Uji Matcha, which combines rich matcha with milk for a smoother texture, with red beans at the bottom. Hawthorn Lychee Yogurt $38 I opted for the seasonal Hawthorn Lychee Yogurt, which is sweet and tangy, perfect for refreshing and quenching thirst.
