I tried Katsuya's limited-time menu " Eight kinds of condiments salted tuna cutlet". A dish where you can taste the cutlet of yellowfin tuna with a salty sauce made from lemon and ginger. It has a refreshing taste but a large volume.
The 2020 version of the popular summer menu " Tuna cutlet" in 2019. You can choose a bowl, a set meal, or a single item, but this time I ordered a To go with a "tuna katsudon". The selling price is 649 yen (tax included). It takes some time for the cutlet to be fried, so it is convenient to make a phone reservation to the nearest store in advance.
After making the payment, I received the item and decided to taste it immediately. A large bowl-shaped container with a transparent lid, tuna cutlet inside and plenty of salt. You can see the "tsuma" of daikon radish. The colorful radish sprouts are also cool.
When you open the lid, it has a fluffy condiment scent. It contains 8 types of garlic, onion, green onion, sesame oil, black pepper, salt, ginger, and lemon juice, but the ginger scent is a little better.
If you use chopsticks to pick up the cut tuna cutlet, you will feel a firm feel. When you bite it, the batter is of course freshly fried, and it smells like new oil, and it has a crunchy texture. Tuna is thick. However, it is much lighter than roast cutlet, and thanks to the condiments, it has a refreshing finish.
However, the volume is not inferior to that of loin cutlet. Thanks to the condiments, the aftertaste is refreshing, but if you put it in your stomach with the lid, mikire and rice, it will be chewy and chewy. Also, the daikon radish on the side is very large, so it is recommended to squeeze it with the cutlet from the first glance.
If you want to take it home, you can enjoy it more if you have a bottle of tea at hand. Although it is cool, it is a deep-fried food that goes well with oolong tea.
