Katsuhon

Located in Melbourne's CBD, Katsuhon specializes in authentic Japanese katsu dishes, offering a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Tokyo's eateries. Their menu features six types of katsu, including traditional pork loin, cheesy pork, chicken, eel, prawn, and a seafood mix of white fish, prawns, and oyster. For a traditional experience, opt for the katsu teishoku sets, which include rice, miso soup, and Japanese pickles. The cheesy katsu set stands out with its house-made mozzarella wrapped in sliced pork, accompanied by a crunchy cabbage salad. Enhance your meal with truffle salt, wasabi, Dijon mustard, and tonkatsu sauce fused with ground sesame seeds. Beyond katsu, the menu offers nabe (hot pot) sets and udon dishes, such as creamy carbonara noodles. Traditional drinks like green tea, Japanese sodas, beers, and sake are available, alongside cocktails like the Earl Grey highball made with bourbon and sweet bergamot tea. Head chef and co-owner Charlie aims to create a warm atmosphere for both locals and visitors to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine and katsu.
