The beef fillet cutlet sandwich is what we are looking for this time. Tenderized beef fillet is deep-fried and combined with a special sauce, priced at 1,600 yen (tax included, same as below).
I'm after the "beef filet cutlet sandwich!"
Cafe Kimuraya "Beef fillet cutlet sandwich
Six bite-sized pieces of beef fillet cutlet sandwiches. The rare beef fillet meat peeking out from the cross section shines seductively.
Thick beef cutlet is extravagant!
The bread is exceptionally tasty. The crispy, savory bread is only on the surface, but the inside is soft and fluffy.
Ideal crispy and fluffy texture
Then there was the filet cutlet. The flavor of the tender meat overflows as you bite into it, intertwining with the flavor of the sauce that soaks into the batter. The sauce is completely different from the so-called pork cutlet sauce. It is orange in color and has a rich, Western-style flavor with a hint of sweetness and a slight sourness.
Tender and melt-in-your-mouth beef cutlet
The amount of sauce is small, and the bread and the delicious meat are the main ingredients. The sauce only adds a slight accent. The balance is achieved because we have confidence in our ingredients.
Sandwiches that savor the ingredients, with meat and bread taking center stage
The assortment of pickles to refresh the palate is also delicious. The mild acidity is delightful without being harsh. The tomatoes are meltingly fruity. The colors are also beautiful.
Refreshing pickles to refresh your palate
Sandwiches can be ordered with a set drink (400 yen each) or a mini salad (330 yen). Please choose according to the occasion.
Mini salads that can be set
Drinks can be selected from tea, fruit juices, etc.
I visited this time just after opening at 10:00 on a weekday, but within 30 minutes, 80% of the seats were filled. It seemed that many people came for the morning menu, which is available only from 10:00 to 11:00 on weekdays.
I'm curious about the morning menu too!
With its large windows overlooking Ginza Chuo-dori Avenue, Café Kimuraya is the perfect place to take a break. It seems to get quite crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so be prepared, but the wait is worth it. Be sure to stop by when you are walking around Ginza!
