Kirishima Tonkatsu (meat cutlets)
Kirishima

COMMITMENT

Kirishima offers one of Japan’s most popular dishes known as “Tonkatsu (meat cutlets)”, in short, a breaded cutlet from select cuts of pork. We serve a high-end Tonkatsu using high-grade meats from Kagoshima and Hyogo prefectures. Kagoshima is known for its premier Berkshire pork.
We also have a take-out menu for bentos (Japanese box lunches) filled to the brim with seasonal vegetables and our signature sushi roll, the “K-roll (Kirishima roll)”.

Cooking

Ingredients, seasoning, oil and rice…
We pay careful attention to every details in meals we serve..

Prepared using only the most carefully selected ingredients. Each serving’s flavoring is individually prepared to suit your palate, and then lightly cooked to tender crispiness.

  1. Carefully
    Selected
    Meats

    Knowing their provenance
    We use four types of brand pork, including Berkshire and Chami from Kagoshima Prefecture and Yukihime and Ebisu pork from Hyogo Prefecture. Our premier cuts of beef are sourced from Kagoshima Black Beef, which took the top spot in the overall competition and won the award for best beef quality at the 11th National Japanese Beef Ability Expo held in Miyagi Prefecture in 2017.

  2. Rice

    Selected by our 5-star rice master, we serve rice that best matches our Tonkatsu cutlets. We change our rice suppliers by season to sustain rice flavor and offer the best to our customers.

  3. Miso

    We use wheat miso from Kagoshima Prefecture. The sweet miso enhances the flavor of our cutlets.

  4. Oil

    We use 100% vegetable oils blended with cottonseed oil to enhance aroma, rice oil to bring out the flavor, and rapeseed oil to thicken. All oils are made with Non-GMO ingredients.
