The restaurant is known for its deep-fried beef cutlet, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

With over 70 outlets worldwide, the eatery has seen long queues in Japan.

High-quality meat

Kyoto Katsugyu serves lean cuts of beef, deep-fried at high temperatures to achieve a medium-rare finish.

The cuts can also be grilled on a hotplate to cook them beyond medium-rare.

The menu features a variety of cuts, including:

• Sirloin
• Chuck
• Tenderloin
• Tongue
• Wagyu

The beef is coated in a koromo batter, which is a blended mixture of breadcrumbs, flour, and egg wash.

Here's what we tried:
