This local shop “Kato-ya” with a fresh yellow color scheme has gained popularity with its affordable Japanese rice bowl dishes. It has even set a record of selling 500 bowls of beef rice bowl in a day. Although the prices are affordable, the portions are generous and the quality is highly praised. Currently, there are 4 branches! Recently, they have launched a promotional offer of $39 for a spicy and addictive spicy beef rice dish.
This sauce is developed by the boss personally, with layers of spiciness. The beef is selected from evenly fatty and lean parts, coated with spicy sauce and aromatic spices. It is also moderately thick, and when eaten with pearl rice, it has the perfect level of moisture. In terms of spiciness, besides mild, medium, and spicy, you can also upgrade to extra spicy for an additional $1. This special spicy experience is only available in April, so spicy food lovers must give it a try.
In addition to various types of rice bowls, there are also dishes like iron plate rice and Japanese hot pot. The portion of the pork hot pot set meal ($50) is surprisingly generous, with plenty of meat and side dishes that seem endless. The appetizers are also well thought out, such as the crispy fried spiral potato sticks ($24) and the potato shrimp ($24), which are all meticulously made.
