"Katsuyoshi Shibuya" is the Shibuya branch of the popular tonkatsu restaurant group "Katsuyoshi," which has been selected as one of the top 100 tonkatsu restaurants three times. I have visited the Katsuyoshi restaurants in Suidobashi and Tokyo Station before, but this was my first time at the Shibuya branch. Located just a few minutes from Shibuya Station, the restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside and is a popular spot for people of all ages. Location: The restaurant is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Shibuya Station. It's on a quiet street near the bustling Center Gai area, making it easy to find and access. Crowdedness: I visited on a Saturday around 5:30 pm. There was no line outside, but the restaurant was about 60-70% full. With 80 seats available, there was no need to worry about waiting for a table. Ordered Items: - Special Premium Hire Katsu (150g) - 3300 yen - White wine (around 700 yen) Total: 4000 yen Food: - Appetizers: The meal started with pickles and agar agar, which was a nice touch. The special premium set came with agar agar, making it a good value for the price. - Special Premium Hire Katsu: The main dish, the special premium hire katsu, was a thick and juicy cutlet with a crispy coating. It was served on a wire mesh to prevent it from getting soggy. The dish came with lemon, soy sauce, salt, and wasabi for added flavor. Highly recommended for tonkatsu enthusiasts. - Rice: You can choose between white rice and shiso rice. I opted for shiso rice, which had a refreshing taste that complemented the tonkatsu well. - Miso Soup: The red miso soup was visually appealing with mushrooms and mitsuba leaves, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Drinks: The white wine was delicious and paired well with the tonkatsu. The restaurant has curated a selection of drinks that complement their dishes. Atmosphere: The restaurant's traditional Japanese decor, with its large wooden interior, creates a serene and unique dining experience. The spacious seating includes a counter, tatami rooms, and tables, accommodating a diverse range of customers. Service: The staff provided attentive and efficient service, taking orders promptly and handling transactions smoothly. Overall, Katsuyoshi Shibuya offers a delightful dining experience with its unique atmosphere and delicious tonkatsu. It represents a refined form of Japanese tonkatsu culture that can be appreciated both locally and internationally. Highly recommended.

I felt like eating tonkatsu, so I visited a highly rated restaurant. It was January 3rd, the beginning of the new year, and not many restaurants were open, but this one was. I arrived a little after 1 pm and there were about 3 groups waiting ahead of me. It was bustling with customers even during the New Year. I couldn't decide what to order, so I chose the special large shrimp fry and tonkatsu combo set. I could choose between regular rice and mixed rice with seaweed. The miso soup and rice were free for refills. The first thing that surprised me was the extravagance of the shrimp fry. As you can see in the photos, they used whole large shrimp, which was impressive. It was thick and very delicious. The tonkatsu itself was a light pink color, very tender, substantial, juicy, and delicious. Although it was a bit pricey, I thought it was worth every penny for such quality tonkatsu.

I visited during a regular lunch break. There was a line, but I had a reservation so I was able to enter the restaurant without waiting. When I went down the stairs and opened the door, I was surprised to find a spacious and stylish space inside. I ordered from the lunch menu. The prices were mostly in the 2500 yen range on average, which was a bit high, but I was looking forward to the highly rated dishes. About 5 minutes after ordering, a salad (shredded) arrived, which was just a simple salad. Then about 10 minutes later, the main dish arrived. It was very delicious with a crispy texture. The miso soup had a gentle flavor. Overall, it was tasty, but considering the somewhat high prices, I felt like I could have been a bit more satisfied, which is why I gave this rating.

Everything I ate was delicious! It didn't feel greasy at all! After beer, I recommend a bottle of white wine! Both the loin and fillet were delicious, as well as the shrimp fry and crab cream croquette! The fried eggplant and potato salad were also really tasty! I also enjoyed some shochu and highballs! Lastly, the volume of the pork cutlet curry and pork cutlet bowl was amazing! I am so full and satisfied!

I used it for lunch. I wanted to go, but I was avoiding it because it was a bit expensive for lunch haha. I had the limited-time cold pork cutlet bowl which was new and delicious. Next time, I want to try the regular pork cutlet! ☺️

I made a reservation for lunch on Sunday and arrived at the restaurant to find a line already forming, so I was glad I had reserved. I ordered the premium hirekatsu set. The main dish, the premium hirekatsu, was incredibly tender. It didn't have a fibrous texture and was very delicious. The sauce provided was not too strong in flavor, allowing the taste of the meat to shine through even when drizzled on. Ordering a premium menu comes with agar jelly and three types of sauces. The agar jelly had a well-balanced dashi flavor with no overpowering sourness. The sauces included grated ponzu, green onion salt, and wasabi soy sauce. The finely chopped cabbage was soft, and the two dressings were both sophisticated in taste. The sesame dressing had a subtle sweetness and a strong sesame flavor, while the yuzu soy dressing had a stronger vegetable sweetness. Personally, I found the yuzu soy dressing to be delicious. You can choose between shiso rice and white rice for the meal. I chose shiso rice this time, and the shiso flavor was subtly present. The miso soup was made with red miso and had a comforting taste. The pickles included radish pickles and pickles with bean sprouts and seaweed. The radish pickles had a distinct radish flavor and bitterness. The pickles with bean sprouts and seaweed had a strong acidity and a unique taste that I had not experienced before, which I personally preferred. Overall, all the dishes had an elegant and luxurious taste. I initially thought the restaurant would be quiet and calm, but there were groups of foreign customers and families with young children nearby, giving off a slightly lively impression.

I went around 12 o'clock, but had to wait for about 30 minutes because I didn't make a reservation. I was curious about the "cold katsu don" so I ordered it! I don't like grated yam so I asked for it to be removed haha. It had plenty of ice and was very cold! It felt strange to drink the broth like a cold juice. It was delicious, but personally, I prefer regular katsu don haha. I didn't use the restroom so I can't comment on that.

Visited on a weekday at 2:15 PM. - Serving time: Just under 10 minutes. - Ordering system: Verbal. - Would I return: Yes.

The meat was thick and satisfying. - Portion: Satisfying. Free refills for rice, cabbage, and pickles. - Would I order again: Yes.

I visited around 11:30 on Saturday. I ordered a cold pork cutlet rice bowl and my friend ordered a pork cutlet set meal. We also ordered chicken breast cutlet to share. Salad was included and it was all-you-can-eat. Personally, I found the chicken breast cutlet with salt to be the most delicious. The tartar sauce had a mild flavor. The cold pork cutlet rice bowl had ice in it, so it was quite cold. It was topped with grated yam, cucumber, shiso leaves, plum sauce, and myoga, with okra on the side. It was very satisfying and had a good portion size.

I ordered the set meal with pork cutlet and shrimp fry. It was very filling and satisfying. It would be nice if they also offered a set meal with just one pork cutlet and one shrimp fry for those with smaller appetites. The set meal came with cabbage, pickles, and miso soup as sides. The homemade sesame dressing was not too sweet and delicious. However, the miso soup was strangely bitter.

Here in the basement of a building on Meiji Street in Shibuya, towards Shibuya Bridge. Today, we had a drinking party at this tonkatsu restaurant. We started by ordering a bottle of sweet potato shochu and mixing it with soda water from a pitcher. For the tonkatsu today, we had the special premium loin katsu and the special premium fillet katsu. The deep-fried tonkatsu, cooked at a low temperature, locks in the flavor of the pork. Both were delicious, but the loin katsu really highlighted the goodness of the pork meat. Cabbage is all-you-can-eat, and we ended up getting multiple refills. Next, we had sashimi, yellowtail and bonito. The light bonito is perfect for a hot summer day. It's high quality. And then the duck cold dish with ponzu sauce, light and refreshing. It was delicious! Another tasty and enjoyable day.

Every year, I want to eat chilled pork cutlet bowl with grated yam, myoga, cucumber, shiso, umeboshi, and roasted pork cutlet bowl with cold dashi poured over it. Eating it gives me energy. I will go eat it again next year. There are plenty of pork cutlets, so the rice is a bit less, which is just right.

I made a reservation about 2 weeks ago. I had a solo lunch. I don't usually eat a lot of oily food, but the fried dishes at Katsuyoshi were all delicious and I finished them in no time. The shrimp fry was especially amazing.

Ordered the Cold Katsudon. It's a katsudon with broth poured over it and ice added. It may not sound appetizing, but surprisingly, it's delicious. It has a unique taste and is very flavorful. It's something you crave in the summer. It's so good that it's worth visiting Shibuya just to eat it. The all-you-can-eat cabbage on the side is a nice bonus.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. It was a walk-in, so had to wait for about 30 minutes. Chose the top-quality pork cutlet. The fat was not overwhelming, and the meat's flavor was the highlight of this great restaurant. The appetizer pickles and the salad dressing were delicious. The top-quality fillet that my companion ordered was also very tasty, so it seems like there are no bad choices here. You can choose between regular white rice and shiso rice.

I had the Hirenkatsu set meal for 2,800 yen. The hire (pork fillet) was 150g, and you can choose between white rice and blue shiso rice. You can also have unlimited refills. It was a satisfying tonkatsu experience after a long time. The hire was very tender, the coating was crispy, and the meat was juicy. I was completely satisfied with this dish. Now I'm curious about trying the loin as well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I didn't like the taste of the red miso soup.

Sharing a set meal with my family. We had top-quality pork loin cutlet and extra-large shrimp fry. I found the regular pork cutlet more satisfying as it tasted more like traditional tonkatsu. I came here to indulge in pork cutlet, but the extra-large shrimp fry turned out to be the best choice.

Just steps away from Shibuya Police Station, down the stairs is a store that exudes a Showa-era vibe. On this day, I used an online reservation to enjoy a carefully selected course. The appetizers were quite substantial, which made me a little worried. Then came the sashimi with plenty of fish and sea urchin. Is this really a tonkatsu restaurant? It was so delicious. Next was the beef steak. Once again, I thought to myself, is this really a tonkatsu restaurant? The main dishes of fillet katsu, loin katsu, and large shrimp fry were all incredibly tasty. I was so satisfied that I didn't even feel hungry the next morning, and surprisingly, I didn't experience any heartburn either.

It is located a little away from Shibuya. You can have unlimited refills of salad, rice, pickles, and miso soup. Compared to other tonkatsu restaurants, the rice here tasted better. The main dishes, pork cutlet and shrimp fry, were crispy and delicious.

Near Shibuya Police Station, there is a tonkatsu restaurant. With a solemn stone lantern as a landmark, you can descend the stairs to a spacious space reminiscent of a rural warehouse, where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. With a history of 60 years, the atmosphere is truly authentic. Today, I ordered the hirekatsu set meal (150g: 2,800 yen). First, a large bowl of crunchy cabbage, pickled radish, and bean sprouts is served. I immediately drizzle yuzu soy dressing over the cabbage, which is delicious. Be careful, as this alone could fill you up. The tonkatsu is fried slowly in low-temperature vegetable oil, taking about 15 minutes. The served hirekatsu has a slightly rare center, oozing with meat juices, whetting the appetite. You can choose green shiso rice, but today I opted for white rice. Additionally, they offer red miso soup, a rarity in the Kanto region. There are two types of sauce, extra spicy and regular, but I started with "Wajima sea salt"… the quality of the meat makes it a perfect match. The combination with the mustard is also excellent. I thought 150g might be too small, but after eating the cabbage, rice, and red miso soup, I was completely satisfied and full. This tonkatsu restaurant in the Shibuya area is without a doubt the best choice. Their specialty, "Hiyashi Katsu Don," has become popular recently. I definitely want to try it next time.

The entrance is amazing... It has a Japanese-style and dignified atmosphere that doesn't seem like Shibuya at all. The interior is also calming.

I finally visited Katsuyoshi in Shibuya, a tonkatsu restaurant I had been curious about every time I passed by. When I first arrived, they served me cabbage and two types of pickles, with free refills. The cabbage was thinly sliced and crunchy, making it unexpectedly easy to eat. When drizzled with yuzu dressing, it was refreshing and made it easy to keep eating. The pickles were Chinese-style and daikon radish, both serving as a nice break between fried foods and helping the rice go down smoothly. You can choose between shiso rice and regular rice, and I chose shiso rice. It had a subtle shiso flavor that was delicious. The miso soup was made with red miso, which I personally don't like. For the main dishes, I had pork loin and shrimp fry. The pork loin was a bit tough to chew due to the fat and meat parts, but it was still tasty. The salt was more refreshing than the sauce and was delicious. The shrimp fry, when eaten with plenty of tartar sauce, had an enhanced umami flavor. Thank you for the delicious meal.
