Gyukatsu (a fried beef cutlet with the beef rare inside) is one of my favorite dishes. It is not so popular though. I will share my visit to a simple shop in Nagasaki (only with a Japanese name, 勝鹿 かつしか) that served an excellent specimen of this dish.
The visit
I came across the shop on a Sunday. I was the first customer for a very early lunch.
The menu was in Japanese but quite simple to decode. I asked for the gyukatsu set (the one with one portion and half) and an iced tea.
The spectacular set had the gyukatsu, juicy and rare, miso soup, rice, cabbage salad, pickles.
The check
I paid 2,009 yen (18.65 USD), not the cheapest lunch set, but the quality was there. They also specialized in tonkatsu that would have been interesting to try.
