“The katsu’s crispy outside seals in the tender, juicy flavorful inside (and) makes it a hit with katsu lovers,” Sato adds.

On the eatery’s name, Sato explains, “KOROMO means coating or covering, in Japanese, and refers to the crunchy, crusty, deep-fried golden katsu panko breading that seals in the juicy flavor of our premium meats and vegetables.”

“KOROMO uses fresh premium pork, chicken and oysters,” says executive chef Willy Okimoto. “The panko is prepared fresh daily, from whole loaves of bread for that authentic Japanese-style crunchy katsu coating.”

The restaurant’s chefs bread every kat su to order. Okimoto adds that to achieve a “crunchy, juicy delicacy,” items must be fried at just the right temperature.

“KOROMO also uses premium white and brown rice, and makes its miso soup fresh each meal period with real katsuo flakes. No instant dashi here,” Okimoto notes.

In addition to delicious food, even the air smells good at KOROMO katsu & curry bistro. To ensure guests are safe and comfortable, the restaurant utilizes a special air conditioning system that kills more than 99% of airborne pathogens and viruses.
