GRUB | Marukatsu Cuisine Pop-Up x Gyoza Bar x Downtown

Downtown—(July 22, 2020) For the summer, Aburi Restaurants is offering a new Japanese-Mexican concept in the form of their limited-time Marukatsu Cuisine pop-up and specialty menu at Gyoza Bar.



Marukatsu combines popular Japanese katsu-style (deep fried cutlet) dishes with fresh Mexican ingredients and easy on-the-go handhelds like burritos or sandos while also featuring traditional comfort foods like curry and teishoku (meal sets).

ebi fry (with tartar sauce) + pork katsu sandwich + ingen fry (tempura green beans)

Mexican-influenced dishes include a pretty flavour-packed rice bowl and burrito conveniently maximized for takeout orders. Marukatsu uses specialty Nama Panko breadcrumbs when deep-frying cutlets to provide a light and airy crispy crunch texture to each bite.

pork katsu rice bowl (with basil onion pesto, sour cream, and pico de gallo) + chicken katsu burrito

Everything tastes fairly delicious and well-cooked. It's certainly comforting as it mixes traditional and fusion dining. There is also the option of Marukatsu curry for cooler days made with Gyoza Bar's popular house made Japanese curry.
