It has been making waves with its three generations old Katsu recipe as well as its critically acclaimed Katsudon often hailed as the no.1 Donburi in Japan.
Ginza Bairin fever is definitely reaching all-new heights with delicious new dishes that stay true to its Japanese roots, as well as its second store in the Philippines.
Visit Ginza Bairin in the first store in Glorietta 2 or now in the newest Ayala Development in UP Town Center, in Quezon City. A pharmacist by training, founder and epicurean Nobukatsu Shibuya established Ginza Bairin in 1927 in the Ginza district of Tokyo, specializing in katsu that was the most delicious people had ever tasted. As the first katsu house in the Ginza district of Tokyo, and as one of the oldest katsu houses in Japan, Shibuya was one of the pioneers of the authentic katsu house as the world knows it today.
Diners can enjoy the incomparable Ginza Bairin authentic katsu in a variety of delicious ways. First, as tonkatsu, or pork cutlet; second, as Katsu Sando, an original Ginza Bairin creation of crisp hire katsu sandwiched between soft, freshly baked bread, and seasoned with two special sauces; and third, as Special Katsudon, often hailed “Number One Donburi in Japan.”
The bounty of the sea leads the thrilling roster of new creations. Enjoy the new Premium Seafood Set which feature succulent Hiroshima oyster, jumbo US Sea Scallop, Black Tiger Prawn, and the luxurious Kani Cream Korokke (made of crab meat and cream) all prepared in the ethereally crisp Ginza Bairin way. Or savor the best of both land and sea with the new Mixed Set D that combines flavorful Rosu Katsu, Black Tiger Prawn, Hiroshima Oyster, Premium White Fish, and Kani Cream Korokke.
For those who love their pork, Ginza Bairin whips up the ultimate experience in its Menchi, juicy premium ground pork seasoned with choice ingredients. Appreciate this delectable creation as is, or try it with the rich addition of creamy Cheddar cheese. Have it in a katsu set, or with the wonderful complement of spice-filled curry – a definite must-try.
For the vegetarians, the delightfully fresh and hearty Vegetarion Kushi Katsu has eggplant, green capsicum, pumpkin, sweet onion, and quail egg in skewers and fried to a delicate lightness and drizzled with a delightful mirin sauce.
Enjoy all of these with diners’ favorite Ginza Bairin Teishoku, which elevates the concept of set meal with endless enjoyment of Japanese Koshihikari rice, fresh cabbage salad and dressings, miso soup, seasonal tsukemono (Japanese pickles), and genmaicha (Japanese brown rice tea). All teishoku also include a serving of seasonal fresh fruit.
Meals are made even more enjoyable with new appetizers: Chawan Mushi, an appetizer of silky, savory egg custard with seafood; Hiyayakko Tofu, a traditional Japanese appetizer of cold silken tofu with a variety of toppings; and Kani Mango Salad; a medley of kani, ripe mango, mixed greens, fresh tomato, and ebiko (prawn roe) with Japanese mayo.
For a refreshing drink, try Ginza Bairin’s new Watermelon Mint Shake, combining the sweetness of watermelon and the freshness of mint. To cap it all off, enjoy the new Matcha Vanilla Panna Cotta — green tea with a creamy vanilla custard and a touch of delightful citrus.
