When at Kyoto Station, one of the best places to stop at is Katsukura, a Kyoto-based restaurant. For the main, we recommend getting the Set Meal as well as a as an appetizer.
This hearty meal is a great way to end off the day, with crispy breading and juicy meat, tonkatsu is always a satisfying meal. The rice, cabbage, and soup are also refillable, so feel free to ask for . If you feel like another entire portion is too much, you can also tell them hanbun-okawari (半分おかわり, half-portion refills). The Chawanmushi is also a great appetizer, this steamed egg custard comes in a small bowl, and the texture is as smooth as pudding, with a wobbly texture, and the strong umami from the egg and a light dashi broth.

Katsukura Kyoto Station's Unique Points (こだわり, Kodawari)

Katsukura pays special attention to each of the ingredients in its meal, in order to elevate each component, and raise the overall quality of the dish. The breadcrumbs are specially made in-house, to be lighter, crispier, and better complement the juiciness of the pork. The cabbage is specially selected from different regions throughout the year in order to get the best quality at any point in time. Their tonkatsu sauce uses a red wine base with apples and natsumeyashi (棗椰子, jujube or Chinese dates), mixed with spices to produce a good balance of spice, savoriness, sourness and sweetness that best complements the pork.
At the Kyoto Station branch, Yonezawa Sangen Pork (米沢三元豚) from Miyagi Prefecture is used. Sangen Pig is a hybrid that has been bred using three different types of pigs, thus sangen (三元, lit. three origins), in order to produce a superior texture and taste of pork. The Yonezawa Sangen Pork is free-range, with pastures at the food of the Kurikoma mountain range in Miyagi Prefecture. Its meat is soft and tender, with fat that is sweet and light. It’s best eaten with salt so that you can enjoy the taste of the meat.
