We heard from readers about their memories of “かつ萬,” which closed on December 25, 2022.
Freshly fried and crispy, and it didn’t get greasy even after a little time had passed. The ume-shiso katsu and cheese katsu were hearty and really filled me up.

I often ate かつ萬’s lunch bento while I was pregnant. (I wonder if they still do those?) It’s a flavor I remember from my pregnancy. It wasn’t just fried food; it had little bits of various flavors, and it was delicious.

The Katsuman bento is filling and delicious.

It’s so good that I honestly think there’s no delicious bento like かつ萬’s anywhere else.

When I was hospitalized for childbirth, my husband often bought it for me. I would trade my hospital meal for a かつ萬 bento. Lately, so many nostalgic shops have been closing, and it makes me sad. Thank you so much. I’m grateful for everything.

About 15 years ago, when I was still living in Koshienguchi, I often stopped by after work to buy something to take home. I have such a good impression of the petite female staff member with glasses, who would always chat with me in such a friendly way. I wonder if she’s still there? I’m thinking of going again before they close.

I once bought a huge amount of fried food there — “100 pieces.” I’d love to eat it one more time with the whole family.

I can’t count how many times they saved me when I didn’t know what to make for dinner…! I always called ahead before going to pick it up. The warmth of carrying home a freshly made bento. Thank you, かつ萬.

Whenever I came back to my parents’ house, they would buy me a かつ萬 minced cutlet bento for dinner. It’s truly a shame.

かつ萬 had been in business in Koshienguchi for over 30 years. We’ll continue preserving everyone’s delicious memories here. Thank you for sharing so many memories!
