I ate a pork cutlet rice bowl with meat on top, called 'meat sauce pork loin cutlet rice bowl,' at Katsuya.

On April 10, 2026, Katsuya released the ' Meat Ankake Roast Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl .' It's said to be a very brown dish with a special meat sauce made with black miso poured over a pork cutlet. I decided to try it to see what it was actually like.

Katsu, a meat feast. Katsuya's all-out meal. Introducing the new, generously portioned 'Pork Loin Cutlet Rice Bowl with Meat Sauce'! | Press release from ArcLand Service Holdings Co., Ltd.

A sign outside the shop advertised 'Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl with Meat Sauce.'

This time I ordered the ' Pork Loin Cutlet Rice Bowl with Soft-Boiled Egg' with a soft-boiled egg topping. The brown cutlet is topped with a brown meat sauce, and it smells like mapo tofu even before I take a bite.

This is what it looks like from the side.

Upon tasting it, you'll feel a tingling spiciness that stings your tongue. It's a level of spiciness that those who don't like spicy food should be careful of. The main flavors are the spicy sauce and the crispy breaded pork cutlet, while the minced meat surprisingly doesn't have much presence. You can definitely enjoy the spiciness of the sauce, but I wish the meat sauce had a bit more of a meaty flavor.

The price of the 'Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl with Meat Sauce' is 890 yen (excluding tax), and with a soft-boiled egg it is 990 yen (excluding tax).
