GALA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City) operates over 60 izakaya restaurants, Katsuo, which boasts extremely cheap draft beer and Oita Nakatsu fried chicken, mainly in Osaka and Tokyo, as well as a wide variety of other restaurants. ) will be located in front of Hankyu Awaji Station on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
We are opening “Katsuo Awaji Cheering Team”. This is Katsuo’s opening for the second consecutive week, following last week’s Meieki West Exit Cheer Team.
The store is located in Higashiyodogawa Ward, Osaka City, right next to Awaji Station, which is a connecting station for the Hankyu Kyoto Line and Senri Line, making it a very convenient and easy-to-use location. This will be Katsuo’s second store in Higashiyodogawa Ward, following the Kamishinjo Oendan, which is very popular with locals.
Speaking of Katsuo, as you already know, it is a budget-friendly izakaya with the best value for money. As a support group for people who live in the area and those who work around Awaji, we will energize Osaka! Cheer up Awaji! We want to be a store that is loved by everyone.
■The originator of “Kyoyasu Draft Beer Izakaya”
Katsuo is a very popular izakaya that is proud of its amazingly cheap draft beer, with Nakatsu Karaage, a local menu item from Oita Prefecture, as its main menu. Approximately 14 years have passed since the first store opened, and we currently have 60 stores, mainly in Osaka and the Kansai region, and each store is working hard every day.
Since our establishment, we have consistently offered draft beer at an incredibly low price of 180 yen (excluding tax)! Currently, we are offering “The Premium Malts”, Suntory Ltd.’s premium beer, for 180 yen. Of course, the price is the same no matter how many drinks you have! Even if you drink 10 cups, it only costs 1800 yen (excluding tax). Furthermore, we have maintained the low price of our highballs at 150 yen (excluding tax) per cup since our founding.
At that time, there were still no shops that offered draft beer or highballs at low prices, and from that time on, I always wanted to make my customers happy and I was moved to tears.
Thanks to corporate efforts, all Katsuo stores have been offering this price at the same price, regardless of the time and number of drinks, since the company’s founding.
This price has been the same since our founding in 2011!
In recent years, an increasing number of izakayas have started selling draft beer for 180 yen or 190 yen, imitating Katsuo’s signature “Premol drink” for 180 yen. It seems that they are simply imitating Katsuo without having any belief in business format development, but since the opening of his first store 14 years ago, Katsuo has posted a sign saying “180 yen” for a draft beer. We take pride in being the first person. However, I understand that this was done because I sympathized with Katsuo’s belief in looking at things from the customer’s perspective.

■About Oita Nakatsu Karaage
Katsuo’s signature menu is “Nakatsu Karaage,” a local gourmet dish from Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture. Most of the customers who visit our store place orders. This fried chicken uses a secret pickle sauce that was further refined by our managing director who trained at a famous fried chicken restaurant in Nakatsu City. The chicken is marinated in this pickling sauce made with soy sauce and garlic overnight, and fried to perfection after receiving your order.We are confident that our fried chicken can’t be beat anywhere else. We also offer 5 different flavors of our classic fried thighs so you don’t get tired of the taste, and these are also very popular! This is something that only Katsuo can boast about!
Recently, there has been talk of a karaage boom, but Katsuo has been anticipating this for over ten years and has been developing karaage that can be passed down to future generations. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would like you to take this opportunity to try it.
Katsuo’s exquisite Nakatsu Karaage!
■Katsuo Other proud menus
Katsuo does more than just Nakatsu Karaage. There are many other popular menu items as well. Particularly popular is Katsuo’s signature horse sashimi. Delivered directly from the farm and always available fresh! In addition, you can enjoy a wide range of menus at reasonable prices, including a variety of teppanyaki dishes made with exquisite craftsmanship, our signature dashimaki omelets, and other a la carte dishes. Of course, we don’t compromise on taste, and we only serve authentic dishes made with soul and sincerity.
