Overall a very enjoyable meal but not worth the one hour wait to me. Table for 4 for Monday lunch. Arrived at 1pm and there were maybe 3 people in the queue outside the shop. There were another 10 people or so lined up in the staircase going down so the queue looked deceptively short. Something to note if you are rushed for time. The restaurant itself has only space for about 20. You get to place your order while in the Queue. It took about another hour before we were finally seated. Food was served promptly after. Not much of instructions on how to enjoy the meal other than some pics you can see earlier on while queuing. Any questions and you will be directed to the picture placemat on table which would now be covered by the food. The beef arrives medium rare so it just takes a bit of warming up on the stone plate for a few seconds. There are three side dishes. A white yam mix which works well mixed with the rice, a cod roe thing which I didn't touch as I was told it can be too fishy, and a mochi for dessert. If your appetitie is large enough, go for the 2 cutlet portion. You didn't queue all this time to go on a diet. The meal comes with free flow of cold tea so would recommend not to pay another 500 or so for a drink combo where you save only 10 yen or so compared to ordering separately. If you decide you still need a drink you can order separately.

TLDR: If you haven't had beef katsu - you have not been paying attention. Thing tender near wagyu fattiness wrapped in a delicate panko coating. If you're visiting Japan, this is one thing you should try because it's very difficult to find outside of the country. I've had Gyukatsu Motomura before but figured - let's try the main shop. We got there a bit after opening and as expected, it was necessary for us to queue. After about 45 minutes - our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. The guys opted for 230g and the lady for 190g, all of us got beers. Unnecessary, I'd say 190g is good even if you're a dude and hungry. The meat is tasty but it is quite rich and heavy. You will most likely need to take a nap afterwards. Each diner gets a set of rice, mountain yam, mustard, salt, wasabi and a stone to cook the meat further should you choose. The cabbage salad is super tasty, the soup is great. I'm not sure how you would dislike your meal here unless of course you're not into beef. Then maybe this is not the place for you. The cutlet coating is super thin but the beef is like biting into a well-marbled medium rare piece of beef. It's got the right amount of bounce, it's fatty, it's rich and with all of the different sauces - quite marvelous. I look forward to this meal every trip but once is enough for me.
