Anyway, I tried Katsuya's ``Assortment of Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet'' where the thick garlic sauce enhances the combination of pork cutlet and beef belly.

For a limited time starting October 6, 2023 (Friday), Katsuya, a pork cutlet specialty store, will be offering the 'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Bowl', which is a bowl of grilled beef belly finished with garlic sauce and loin cutlet. On sale. I actually tried eating tonkatsu and beef belly, which go well with rice on their own.

In front of the store, we also found the new product ``Grilled Beef Belly and Assorted Loin Cutlet''.

``Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Assortment'' is available in two types: a bowl and a set meal.The rice bowl is 869 yen including tax, and the set meal that comes with pork soup is 979 yen including tax. Since takeout was also possible, I bought it this time. For take-out, the rice bowl is 853 yen including tax, and the bento box with rice and side dishes is 961 yen including tax, but does not come with pork soup.

'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Bowl' is filled with pork cutlet, beef belly, and cabbage so much that you can't even see the rice, as shown below.

The weight of the pork cutlet in 'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet' is 60g, which is a little heavier than Katsuya's 'Sauce Katsudon (Plum)' (80g) and 'Sauce Katsudon (Bamboo)' (120g) . The pork cutlet is topped with a garlicky sauce.

It is said that grilled beef belly is also seasoned with the same sauce, and when you grab it with chopsticks, the sauce overflows. The rice underneath the meat is also soaked in plenty of sauce.

The ``Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Assorted Bento'' comes with rice and side dishes, and the rice also comes with pickles.

When I looked closely at the bento, I noticed that unlike the rice bowl, the beef belly sauce was not soaked into the rice, but the pork cutlet was fully soaked in the sauce.

First, I took a bite of the pork cutlet from the 'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Bowl.' The garlic sauce has a sweet taste, and the rice goes well with the juicy pork cutlet. When I first saw it, I thought it might only have a little bit of sauce on it, but the garlic sauce has a very strong flavor and slowly oozes out, so I was able to fully enjoy it.

I will also try the grilled beef belly. Although it is marinated in a rich sweet sauce, you can feel that the flavor of the beef is brought out well, and you can also taste the garlic flavor. The rich flavor of the sauce is even stronger than the pork cutlet, and you'll want it so much that you'll run out of rice.

Next, I tried the 'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Assorted Bento' and tried the pork cutlet soaked in beef belly sauce. The sauce was soaked into the batter, giving it a devilish taste, but the sauce was a perfect match, showing that it was made to go well not only with beef ribs, but also with tonkatsu.

Since it uses a lot of sweet and thick sauce, it sometimes felt a little dull as I continued to eat it, but at times like that, shishito peppers make me happy. The punchy bitterness resets the feeling of disgust and makes you want to enjoy a strong bowl again.

'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Rice Bowl' is 869 yen including tax, and 'Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Set Meal' is 979 yen including tax. For take-out, the ``Grilled Beef Belly and Loin Cutlet Assorted Bowl Bento'' is 853 yen including tax, and the ``Assorted Beef Belly Grilled and Loin Cutlet Bento'' is 961 yen including tax.
