Checking Out Katsuya’s Monthly Limited Menu! Heading In for a Hearty Set Meal
I always look forward to Katsuya's limited-time monthly specials. As soon as I saw the new announcement, I couldn't resist and planned a visit right away.
When it comes to Katsuya, nothing beats the classic combo of crispy deep-fried cutlets and a hot bowl of tonjiru (pork miso soup). Sitting at the counter and opening the tabletop seasonal menu, the dish I was looking for was prominently featured. Without hesitation, I ordered the full set meal complete with tonjiru.
A Luxurious Shrimp Tasting! The "Triple Shrimp Set Meal" (¥1,089 with Tax)
Shortly after ordering, the "Triple Shrimp Set Meal" (¥1,089 tax included) arrived. Served on a generous flat plate were two classic fried shrimp (ebi fry), a shrimp katsu topped with tartar sauce, and a round shrimp cream croquette, all accompanied by a mound of shredded cabbage. Of course, a side of steamed rice and a small bowl of tonjiru rounded out the hearty set.
First up: the fried shrimp. Already lightly drizzled with savory sauce, the crunchy, aromatic panko breading gave way to a delightfully plump and juicy bite of shrimp.
Next, the shrimp katsu left a lasting impression. A look at the cross-section reveals it packed tightly with shrimp meat, offering that satisfyingly springy texture distinctive to quality shrimp. Paired with the rich, slightly tangy tartar sauce, it pairs amazingly well with rice.
Another favorite was the shrimp cream croquette. Breaking through the golden, crispy exterior revealed an ultra-smooth, velvety filling. The balanced creaminess complemented the shrimp flavor wonderfully—personally, a standout highlight of the meal.
Being able to savor three distinct shrimp dishes—fried shrimp, katsu, and cream croquette—in a single meal is an impressive feat considering the preparation involved. Every bite offered a welcome change of texture and taste, keeping it thoroughly enjoyable right down to the last bite.
Plus, if you use the standard ¥100 off coupon available on the official Katsuya app, the total comes out to just ¥989 with tax—bringing it conveniently under ¥1,000. Be sure to have your coupon ready at checkout!
