Yokohama Katsuretsuan: Katsuretsu Menu, Prices & Refills

🍽️ Want to taste authentic "traditional flavor" in Yokohama?
The answer is 'Katsuretsuan (勝烈庵)',
loved for over 90 years since 1927.

Not just tonkatsu,
but the original Yokohama-style katsuretsu.

From unlimited rice & cabbage tips
to menu, prices, and artistic atmosphere,
we'll cover everything perfectly.

✨ Not Tonkatsu, but Yokohama’s ‘Katsuretsu’

Yokohama has its own unique ‘katsuretsu (cutlet)’ culture, different from Tokyo.

Since its founding in 1927 (Showa 2), Katsuretsuan has reinterpreted Western-style cutlets into a Japanese style, giving birth to ‘Yokohama Katsuretsu’.

It’s so iconic that locals call it “the taste of Yokohama.”

🥢 The Secret of Taste: Special Sauce and Fresh Breadcrumbs

The taste here comes down to two key elements.

1. Secret Traditional Sauce

Vegetables and fruits are boiled for two days and aged overnight to create a deep, rich original sauce that is the heart of Katsuretsuan.

2. Crispy ‘Fresh Breadcrumbs’

Using homemade ‘fresh breadcrumbs’, the coating is light and crispy, while the meat inside stays tender and moist.

🍚 Menu & Unlimited Refills

All ‘set meals’ include unlimited refills of rice, cabbage, and shijimi (clam) miso soup!

Katsuretsu is a fully cooked Western-style dish, featuring a crispy exterior with tender, light-flavored meat inside.

Hire Katsu Set (ヒレかつ定食): 2,200 yen (Tender Pork Tenderloin Katsuretsu)

🖼️ Restaurant or Art Gallery? (Traces of Munakata Shiko)

Katsuretsuan is not just a restaurant, but a small art space.

World-renowned woodblock artist Munakata Shiko (棟方志功) personally wrote the signboard calligraphy, and his woodblock prints are displayed inside the restaurant.
