GYUKATSU Kyoto Katsugyu Kamakura-eki Nishi-guchi — Restaurant in Kamakura

During my visit to Kamakura, I discovered a Gillette steakhouse. Normally, we would opt for pork cutlets, but this time I wanted to try something different and ordered their signature Gillette beef steak. It was my first time having this type of beef, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of cuts available, including the option of wagyu beef.

I chose two different cuts of beef, one being sirloin and the other, which I couldn't fully understand due to the Japanese writing, but it intrigued me. Each table had a small grill where you could cook the steak to your desired level of doneness.

I still think it was a good experience, but I'm just a bit sad because the server didn't notice yet we were the only ones in the restaurant at some point. If my friend was alone, they wouldn't have noticed and would have eaten her whole meal without...

After first trying Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu at their Mall of Asia branch in the Philippines, I was excited to experience their Kamakura location—and it did not disappoint! The beef cutlet, perfectly crisp on the outside and tenderly rare on the inside, was a flavorful masterpiece. The variety of dipping sauces, from wasabi soy to curry broth, elevated the experience, allowing for a customized taste with every bite.

The Kamakura branch maintains the same high-quality beef and meticulous preparation, but the atmosphere adds a unique charm—whether you're savoring your meal after a temple visit or strolling through the historic streets. If you're a fan of gyukatsu, this spot...
