カツサンドの魅力
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello, hello.
So, I went on a Kyoto trip during the New Year's.
And I went to the place where you recommended.
The place you said the best meal you've ever had in your life.
Best カツサンド, yeah.
Okay, was that too much?
Yeah, but it was great in my memory, yes.
So I went there, and I had theサンド.
So, was that so...
How did you write it down?
So, I... okay.
I'm gonna tell you.
So...
I mean, I already know the answer, but yeah, go ahead.
I... okay.
I'm gonna tell you.
Okay, tell me.
It was the best カツサンド I've ever had in my life.
Really? Really?
No, no, it was.
You sure?
It was, it was, it was.
Really?
Okay, yes.
But was it the best meal I've ever had in my life?
Like, best meal.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Best single dish I've ever served in my life?
Okay.
That, I will question that.
Okay, okay.
But that was the best カツサンド.
Yeah, I thought...
So, when I was eating the カツサンド, my mind was like,
okay, so this is Yawatan's number one best dish ever.
Okay, okay.
Best food that he's ever eaten in his life.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
But okay, I just now found out that it was the best カツサンド.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, pretty... it was pretty good.
Okay, it was, it was.
Yeah, I'd say.
Yeah.
However, though, what was kind of like 悔しい was...
テイクアウトの問題
So, I only was able to do takeout.
Oh, I see.
I couldn't eat it on the spot.
Reservations were all full.
So, I had to... I had no choice but to do a takeout.
And from the restaurant to my hotel, it was about like an hour.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So, when I received it, it was kind of hot.
Yeah.
It was like 出来たて-ish, right?
But when I got home to the hotel, it was like lukewarm and all moisty.
The bread were all like moisty.
It was like しなしな.
And the カツサンド, I didn't know...
I don't know if it was crisp or not, but like definitely not crisp when I opened it.
So, I don't know how fair this judgment is, this review is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know, with the one hour of takeout time, it was still the best カツサンド ever in my life.
It was still very high in the food that I've ever eaten in my whole life.
Yeah.
So, I can't imagine how good it would be fresh at the kitchen.
Right.
You had it at the restaurant?
Yeah, of course.
I didn't know they do that takeouts.
Yeah, they do takeouts.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I'm already happy that you said that was the best ビーフサンド in your life.
Yeah.
But, yeah, still.
Right?
Yeah.
I want you to try the fresh.
Right.
Me too.
The hot one at the store.
Me too.
Yeah.
Wow.
I really did.
Yeah.
But, still, meat inside was like a rare and soft.
Right.
It was soft.
And, like, boy, that was so soft, man.
It was just.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was very soft.
Unbelievable.
I love the sauce that it had inside as well.
Yes.
Yes.
I took a picture right here of this one.
Mmm.
Yeah.
So good.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So, at the store, of course, the meat are very hot.
Okay.
It's just fresh.
カツサンドの味と食感
Yeah.
Fresh fried, I would say.
So, the.
The.
衣?
衣.
Yeah.
It's, like, more, like, crispy.
Okay.
But, with the sauce, it's not, like, crispy, crispy.
It's crispy with the sauce, kind of.
Mmm.
You know what I mean?
Mmm.
It's crispy katsu with the sauce, kind of.
Yeah.
It's good.
And, also, the breads are, like, more.
It's like a.
Fluffy?
Yeah.
Fuwa fuwa?
And zaku.
Oh, like, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like you just toasted it.
Oh, it was nothing like that.
Yeah.
It was completely, like, soggy.
Oh, sad.
That's sad.
That is sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
And it still looks good.
It still looks good, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The meat.
I'm sure the meat didn't change its quality that much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, it's red.
Yeah.
Like, it's half.
Yeah.
Half, you know, cooked.
It looks gorgeous.
Yeah, it's gorgeous.
I was surprised that they added pickles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, and then I remember the sauce.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember the sauce.
Mm-hmm.
The white little.
Yeah, didn't they have, like, this side is like a white mayonnaise kind of sauce.
Yeah.
Right.
And the other side is like a sauce.
Yeah, like katsu sauce.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like that.
Yeah, I remember that.
Like, it's mix.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It's mixing in the mouth.
Oh, yeah.
It's happiness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
店舗の雰囲気
The location of the store was so right in the middle of, like, a neighborhood, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
It's just like a house.
Yeah.
Yes, yes.
It's just like a simple Ikeya house-ish.
Right, right.
And then, like, if you go deeper, there's a door.
Mm-hmm.
And then, like, inside the door, there's a huge, like, kitchen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Counter kitchen.
Yeah.
It was, I've never seen anything like it.
Oh.
Yeah.
It's traditional style of houses in Kyoto.
Oh, okay.
The entrance is very small, but the inside is very, like, long, I would say.
Yeah, it was long.
Very long inside.
Very long.
Yeah.
And underground long.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
You go down, right?
Right, right, right, right.
That was new.
Yeah.
That's how they built the city.
Oh, okay.
Every house is, like, very small-looking, but it's, like, inside, it's, like, huge.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's just like a puzzle.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So, I have to try it first.
Yeah, you should try at the counter, the inside.
I should.
You should.
Yes, yes, yes.
You really should.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
Well, I'm happy, at least.
Better than nothing.
That you tried it.
Right.
Better than nothing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And, remember the time I told you about, no, you were there with me.
清水寺での体験
So, several years ago, I went to Kyoto.
Yeah.
Kiyomizu-dera.
Oh.
And then, at the back of the Kiyomizu-dera, I splashed myself some waters.
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Because it was so hot.
Yeah.
Right?
So, on the next recording after that, when I got back from Kyoto, the camera does a face
recognition, right?
It's always us three, right in the middle of our faces, a square, because it recognizes
the face.
But, after that Kiyomizu-dera splashing water, my face, my face wasn't recognized.
But, the square was, it landed right next to my, like above my shoulder.
Yeah.
There was like a face right next to my face, right?
Right?
Kind of like a ghost, you know, it kind of freaks me out a little bit, you know?
We were all like, what the fuck is this?
And then, I remembered that the water that I splashed from, it had like a, what do you
call those?
Huda.
Huda.
It was a lot of huda on it.
Yeah.
Right?
And, I was like, fuck.
And, you do this, right?
I splashed that water on me.
On you, right?
On your shoulder.
Yeah.
My arm and stuff.
And, I went to Kiyomizu-dera again, right?
So, several days, last week.
And, I was like, let me go apologize to them.
Yeah.
Because, I didn't know, I have to like, I have to make this straight.
Yeah.
I'm going to go back there.
I'm going to make it straight.
Yeah, yeah.
Because, we all thought that that's because of that fountain.
Yeah.
With the full of ofudas.
Right.
You kind of did something wrong with that.
Yeah.
Something's got you.
Right.
And, at that time, I didn't know.
I didn't know if what I was doing was disrespectful to them or not.
So, I was like, let me just, let me make this straight.
Let me make sure.
Yeah, yeah.
So, I went back to the back of the Kiyomizu-dera.
There was like, literally no one there.
Yeah.
Right?
The front, there's so many people.
Right, right, right.
The back, literally no one.
So, you're talking about the backside of the famous fountain.
Yes.
Yeah, that's, okay.
Yeah.
And, right there, they still had the water.
Okay, okay.
They still had the water.
Okay.
And, yes, they still had the fura.
Wow.
There.
And, there was water.
Mm-hmm.
And, so, I went there and I applauded.
Right.
Well, look.
So, when I went there, I didn't know if that was there back then.
But, when I went there last week, they had the, what do you call those?
Those little.
Shaku?
Yeah, the shaku was there.
They had the shaku was there.
So, I was like, I was half relieved of like, oh, maybe this was there for actually the
sampaisha to use the water.
True.
I was like, I was half relieved.
True, true.
Yeah, yeah.
But, it's better.
You just did the, say sorry to that.
Right.
To that fountain.
Yeah, right.
So.
You're relieved.
Relieved.
I'm relieved.
Great to hear that.
I'm relieved.
Yes.
All right.
So, yeah.
That's it.
That's it, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
