Kimchi Butter

Whipped butter. Garlic. Kimchi. Made in-house, brushed over crispy katsu — the original that powers everything we do.

What is
Kimchi Butter?

Our house-made original: Rich and buttery up front, garlicky in the middle, with a gentle kimchi kick on the finish. We brush it, toss it, and drizzle it over everything that leaves our kitchen — it's the gold that keeps people coming back.

Is it spicy?Gently. It's flavor-first, not heat-first — the kimchi brings a soft kick at the end rather than a burn. Want more fire? Ask for the spicy version on your katsu.
Served with what?

Our Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken, Fried Shrimp, and Katsu Sando — plus catering trays for 10 to 150+.

The Original Kimchi Butter

A family potluck
experiment gone right.

It started with fried chicken at a family potluck. There was time to take it up a notch, went through the family kitchen, picked out a few spices, & whipped up some butter. Measured by heart, stirred with a home cook's passion, and experimented until it tasted right. That's how our kimchi butter sauce was created.
