[CLOSED] Gyukatsu Specialty Restaurant Otsuka — Kumamoto Isn’t Just About Tonkatsu! Hearty Beef Cutlet Lunch Cooked to Your Preference

Outing Spots

2017.06.15

Today we’re introducing a fantastic spot located in the northern part of Kumamoto City,
in the Tatsuda Yuge area —
“Gyukatsu Specialty Restaurant Otsuka”!

This is the restaurant that brought the trendy new gyukatsu (beef cutlet) genre to Kumamoto!
By the way, how do you even pronounce 牛カツ?
Is it “gyukatsu”? “Ushikatsu”?
Or maybe “bifukatsu”?
Honestly, we’re still not sure which one is correct!

Recommended Menu

The must-try dish here is, without a doubt,
the Gyukatsu Gozen (beef cutlet set meal).
And here’s the best part —
the cabbage with their signature special dressing, miso soup,
and rice are all free refills.
You can really fill up here!

Access

From central Kumamoto City, head toward Kumamoto University from the Joukouji intersection,
and you’ll find it on the right side after driving along the road for a while!
The parking lot is quite spacious,
so feel free to come by car!
