Cream stew, the dish so good it spawned a comedy duo of the same name, can be ordered through Katagiri’s online shop. After receiving your delivered cream stew seasoning, simply break off a piece and put it in boiling water; then stir in some vegetables and milk, and itadakimasu (dig in)!

Cooking some savory chicken katsu at home? No chicken katsu recipe is complete without some baked, crustless bread, or panko, that you can order from Katagiri. You can even fry it with some onions to make homemade onion rings!
