I ordered a 130-gram beef cutlet set meal and I am very satisfied. Despite being fried, it feels refreshing in the mouth, and the umami of the meat spreads. The crispy texture makes me want to eat more rice! Even when I ordered a large portion, I could get a free refill of one more bowl of rice. It was a great value beef cutlet set meal.

A beef cutlet restaurant near Akihabara Station. The sign outside says "Reopened," but since it's my first time here, I'm not sure what happened before. I went down the stairs to the underground store. I walked through the sliding door into a clean interior, where they checked my temperature and provided hand sanitizer before seating me at a table for two. I ordered the beef cutlet set meal (195g) with three side dishes (grated yam, spicy cod roe, and bracken rice cake) and a highball. The meat arrived on a hot plate, and I tried it first with salt. It was delicious - tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The barley rice went well with it. I found that eating it with salt was better than with wasabi soy sauce. The taste of the salt complemented the meat perfectly. I poured myself a highball, but it was stronger than expected and not as refreshing. Nevertheless, the meat was excellent - whether rare or slightly burnt. The portion size was just right, providing a satisfying meal.

"#GyukatsuMotomura Village" "Unexpected comeback! Reopened!" Gyukatsu Motomura Akihabara store. When I passed by before, I thought, "Oh, maybe it closed due to the Corona impact," but to my surprise, it reopened! It's really a lifesaver when I miss lunchtime. Thank you very much. This time, I tried the new "Gyukatsu Chazuke." It was delicious.

After work, I had dinner in Akihabara! I had beef cutlet at Moto-mura! It was my first time here, but I had been to "123" which is a similar chain before, so it was almost the same! I was a little undecided about the portion size, but I ended up ordering a single 130g cutlet. They cook the rare beef cutlet on a hot plate until it reaches your preferred level of doneness! Then you dip it in soy sauce or Yama-wasabi sauce (which was super delicious) and eat it! It was really tasty. Personally, I still prefer pork cutlet the most, but beef cutlet is good once in a while too! By the way, the potato salad next to the shredded cabbage was also delicious! #Akihabara #Gyukatsu Moto-mura #Gyukatsu #Moto-mura #Beef cutlet #Gyukatsu

Arrived before 12 PM on Sunday, the second group to be seated, our order was taken in advance so it was smooth. The beef cutlet was delicious! It was my first time at Motomura-san's, and the meat was tender with a good thickness, very tasty! Just before eating the rare cutlet, heating it on the plate made it juicy and amazing! The two types of sauce were also delicious, but personally, I found that sprinkling rock salt on the freshly grilled cutlet with a little wasabi was the best!

This time, I tried "Gyukatsu" for the first time at "Motomura" in Akihabara. The interior of the restaurant has a traditional Japanese atmosphere, with kitchen staff wearing traditional Japanese aprons. Very cool! As I entered, the female staff silently pointed to a seat, and swiftly collected the menu. The kitchen staff were engrossed in lively conversations with loud laughter, and the sound of cooking utensils and dishes being thrown into the sink echoed throughout the restaurant. The menu offered two sizes of Gyukatsu (130g and 260g) with an additional side dish for ¥100 each. I ordered the Gyukatsu 130g with Tamagoyaki side dish for ¥1,500. The Gyukatsu arrived in less than a minute, which made me suspect it was pre-fried. The meat was extremely rare with a lot of fat. It was served with a tabletop hot stone grill to cook to your preference. I prefer my meat well-done, so I cooked it until the redness was gone. There were two types of sauce, soy-based and sesame-based, as well as wasabi. I tried all three, but the soy-based sauce helped cut through the richness of the meat, making it delicious. The side dishes of Akadashi soup and grated yam were also very tasty. Although it is on the pricier side for lunch, the Gyukatsu was really delicious. I would definitely want to eat it again, but the customer service here is a bit lacking. I might try a different branch next time. This rating is based solely on the Gyukatsu, so if you are concerned about customer service, it might be best to avoid the Akihabara branch.

Today, I came to the restaurant with my friends around 2:30 PM. There was only one seat left at that time, so it was quite crowded with customers. The first thing that surprised me was that the staff spoke three languages and their customer service was excellent! It made me happy even before eating! I ordered the beef cutlet and a large draft beer... delicious! Beer in the afternoon tastes great! And then, the beef cutlet arrived! It was a bit smaller than I expected, but it was incredibly delicious! Having a hearty meal in the afternoon is also a good idea sometimes! The large beer cost 800 yen, and the beef cutlet without a side dish was 1400 yen. Thank you for the meal!

I had been curious about "Gyukatsu Motomura" and had the opportunity to have dinner there in Akihabara, which was conveniently located near the station. Since I was hungry, I ordered double the amount of meat (260g) with grated yam. By the time I finished one piece, I was already quite full and the oil was starting to feel heavy in my stomach. However, I managed to finish it by getting an extra serving of rice! It seems that the regular size would be the best choice to enjoy it deliciously (laughs). The meat itself is quite oily, so it's better to eat it while you're still young.

★What I Ate★ ・Two Small Side Dishes Set for 1,600 yen ★Impression★ I see! So this is what beef cutlet is like. I actually prefer pork cutlet. Nevertheless, I thought it was quite delicious, although towards the end it got a bit too fatty for me, maybe it's because of my age.

Today, I went to Akihabara for the first time in a while. I was craving some meat for lunch, so I searched around and found this restaurant. I remembered going to a similar restaurant in Shinbashi before! I arrived around 11 am on a holiday, just as they were opening, so I was able to get in smoothly. The beef cutlet set came in different sizes based on the portion, and I chose the smallest one. The food was served promptly, in about 5 minutes. The beef cutlet was grilled on a hot plate, and you could eat it however you liked. It's a bit tricky to get the grilling just right. Personally, I like to eat it with wasabi! You could also get unlimited refills of rice, and the portion was satisfying. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Thank you for the meal!

I came to Motomura Akihabara branch for dinner. The restaurant is located underground, but it is easy to find due to its large sign. The interior has a sushi restaurant-like atmosphere with table and counter seats. Despite the traditional feel, the staff are young, and the restaurant opened just last April. Customers range from shoppers to office workers and even foreigners. The menu consists only of beef cutlets, with variations in meat quantity and side dishes. I decided to order the 130g beef cutlet set without grated yam. The service was prompt, and the main dish came with barley rice and red miso soup. The beef cutlet had a fine crispy coating and appeared quite rare inside. The layers of lean meat and marbling were clearly visible, indicating good quality fat. The staff advised to grill it until there's a charred crust on the cutlet, which enhanced the aroma and made it even more appetizing. The meat was incredibly tender even when grilled, and the fat melted just right, without being overwhelming. The dipping sauces included soy sauce, miso, and rock salt. While all were delicious, the rock salt brought out the richness of the fat the best. A touch of wasabi added a refreshing kick, making the dish even more enjoyable. The beef was so delicious that I felt like the 130g portion might be too small, but it turned out to be satisfying. The side dish of spicy miso pickles made me crave for more rice, and I appreciated the free refill service. The attentive staff provided helpful advice on grilling and timely suggestions for rice refills. I left the restaurant feeling pleasantly full.

I visited around 5 pm on Sunday. There were no other customers, so I was able to enter right away. Normally, you would have to wait about 30 minutes at the Shibuya location, so I was happy about that. After me, more customers started coming in, but it seems like everyone was able to enter without waiting. The staff at the Akihabara location are skilled at explaining in English. The taste is the same as the Shibuya location. The miso soup is surprisingly delicious, which is a big plus. If the barley rice was a bit more moist, it would be perfect. Thank you for the meal.

Located near the Wanseibashi intersection, underneath the Kizuna Sushi, is Gyukatsu Moto Mura. This is a Tokyo-based gyukatsu chain restaurant. In the Akihabara area, there are two Kyoto Katsugyu branches and also Gyukatsu 123. I visited alone after 8 pm on a weekday. The menu mainly consists of two options: a 130g gyukatsu and a 260g gyukatsu. I ordered a 130g gyukatsu set with grated yam and 3 side dishes for 1,700 yen. The gyukatsu was cooked perfectly with a crispy outer layer and juicy meat. The miso soup had fried tofu and mitsuba. I had one rice refill for free. The total bill was paid with cash or LINE Pay.

There were several restaurants I wanted to try for lunch in Akihabara, but I easily got into this one so I decided to give it a try. However, when I left the restaurant, there was a line of more than 10 people waiting (*_*). They sear the surface of the fried cutlet, so it's not as greasy as I thought. The taste was good, with the meat and sauce matching well, but salt or wasabi would make the breadcrumbs overpowering, so a strong-flavored sauce would be a better match. The interior of the restaurant was clean and had a sense of cleanliness, probably because of the female chef and staff.

※※Visit on June 20, 2019※※ ・Beef cutlet 260g with 3 side dishes set (with grated yam) for 2,500 yen ・Draft beer (large) for 800 yen Located in a complex building that was built on the former site of "LAOX ASOBOT," this restaurant opened on April 21, 2018. It seems to be popular among foreign tourists, as there was a long line on the stairs and we had to wait for 15 minutes before entering. While we were waiting, a staff member came to take our order and asked, "Would you like grated yam?" I answered yes, but it made me wonder if some foreigners do not prefer sticky foods like grated yam or natto. In the past, sticky foods like natto were often used in food education to teach patience, but this incident made me realize the differences in culture. The beef cutlet comes in two sizes, 130g and 260g, and you can choose 1 to 3 out of 4 options: "tamagoyaki" (rolled omelette), "Nanban miso pickles," "additive-free mentaiko" (spicy cod roe), and "warabi mochi" (bracken rice cake). Of course, you can also order without side dishes. I ordered the above set. I started with a large draft beer, specifically Suntory "Premium Malt," and waited for the dish to be prepared. In the meantime, a staff member ignited the charcoal on a stone plate. The timing of serving was perfect. The meal was luxurious and splendid, consisting of white rice, red miso soup, pickles, two beef cutlets, potato salad, cabbage, parsley, mountain wasabi, and three carefully selected side dishes with wasabi soy sauce and mountain wasabi sauce on a tray. The thin crispy coating of the beef cutlet was seared on the stone plate on the table. It was not cooked slowly like yakiniku (grilled meat), but rather quickly. I enjoyed it with wasabi soy sauce, mountain wasabi sauce, and rock salt on the table, following the recommended order. You can have one free refill of rice, so I decided to have grated yam first and mentaiko for the second refill. The umami flavor of the beef disappeared instantly. It was delicious. But there was no time to indulge in sentiment. The charcoal was almost out. I needed to cook quickly. I grilled four pieces at once. I had to eat them while they were still warm, or they would cool down. And the fire went out. I asked for a refill and a replacement for the charcoal. Alright, let's start the second round. I put mentaiko on the rice and continued to grill the remaining cutlets on the stone plate. It was delicious. It wasn't tonkatsu, but beef cutlet was also good. This was my debut victory at Motomura.

Had lunch with company members at an underground restaurant. The entrance was easy to find so there was no need to worry about getting lost. It was my first time trying the beef cutlet, and it was surprisingly delicious! Although the lunch was a bit pricey, the quality was high so it was worth it. It was fun adjusting the cooking on the personal hot plate in front of me. I would like to use this place for a special lunch treat. It was a lunch that would look great on Instagram!

It's fun to see the slight differences between stores, so I decided to visit the Akihabara store as well. The beef cutlet is really delicious. As usual, I ordered the set with grated yam. It's tasty to eat it with sauce, but I also like eating it simply with wasabi or salt. The way the beef cutlet is sliced varies depending on the store. The beef cutlet I had in Akihabara had very fine slices.

I came to Akihabara. This place is located in the basement of a building in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Manseibashi Police Station. I had been to this building before, where there was a local chicken and private room izakaya called Chikamatsu Akihabara store. This time, I visited the restaurant called Gyukatsu Motomura. This is my second time, as I had a good impression of the delicious gyukatsu at the Motomura Shinbashi store last time. I ordered the 130-gram gyukatsu without a small dish for 1400 yen. When I looked at the menu, I saw that the set with a small dish was 1500 yen. When I asked the staff about the small dish, they said they have both options. It seemed a bit pricey at first, but it was the same price as before. It was lunchtime, and soon after, many customers started to arrive. We are not elderly, so we made a distinction. The set arrived with an explanation that the gyukatsu has a coating and is cooked by grilling the meat on a mini iron plate. The meat was mostly raw, and you just need to cook it a little. Depending on your preference, you can have it slightly cooked, like rare. I like it slightly cooked. The gyukatsu was delicious as always. Gyukatsu is great! Thank you for the meal!

Located about a 3-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station. I visited "Motomura" in building B1. I stopped by on my way to another errand nearby. I entered the restaurant around 12:30. The staff guided me to my seat and I looked at the menu. I ordered the beef cutlet with barley rice and grated yam set for 1400 yen. The food was served in about 5 minutes. The cutlet was served rare and you cook it yourself on a personal hot plate. It sizzled and I dug in right away. It was a bit rich in fat, but very delicious. You can enjoy it at various levels of doneness, making it a fun dining experience. I especially liked the dressing used on the cabbage side dish, it suited my taste. The service was good too, so I might visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

Unlike the always crowded Shibuya branch, the Akihabara branch, which opened this year, is still a hidden gem. It's just a few minutes away from the electric town exit. All the branches are located underground, with similar counter and table seating and atmosphere. After wandering around Akihabara, I decided to stop by. The beef cutlet is always delicious and never gets old. This time, I ordered the "130g Beef Cutlet with Barley Rice and Grated Yam Set (with spicy cod roe)" for 1500 yen. The beef cutlet is thinly breaded and quite rare. Each person has their own hot plate in front of them, so it's best to place the cutlet on it and lightly cook it as you eat. The question is what to eat it with, and I recommend rock salt and wasabi. It's light and delicious. I eat the cabbage with the special dressing. The potato salad that comes with it is also tasty. Is it a common combination to have potato salad with cutlet? I also pour grated yam over the barley rice and enjoy it with miso soup, grated radish, and spicy cod roe. It was a blissful lunchtime. Akihabara attracts many foreign visitors, so I wonder if they also visit this restaurant. It was still a hidden gem.
