ABOUT US
OUR STORY
The name SAKU is inspired by 「サクサク (sakusaku)」, a Japanese expression for the crisp sound of Katsu. Since 2018, SAKU has been a proud Canadian brand dedicated to sharing authentic Katsu with our local communities. This commitment is reflected not only in the quality of every dish, but also in the warmth of the experience and the care our team puts into every detail.
WE BELIEVE IN INGREDIENTS THAT MATTER
PREMIUM MEAT
We source our meat locally from Canadian farmers, carefully selecting only the best for our premium Katsu. Our pork comes from the finest cuts of DUROC breed pigs, primarily fed on barley, wheat, corn, and soy under the SFP Natural Pork Program. This ensures our pork is raised without hormones and antibiotics, and is non-GMO.
FRESH PANKO
Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb coating used for our Katsu. Our bread is baked freshly every morning by our local bakery partner, COBS Bread, using a customized recipe to ensure consistency and the highest quality of texture.
SIGNATURE DRESSING
Our housemade sesame dressing is freshly made every day by grinding roasted sesame seeds, delivering a perfect balance of nuttiness and sweetness that pairs perfectly with our Katsu.
WE CARE IN EVERY DETAIL
Every Katsu arrives on a tray, thoughtfully arranged with everything that brings out its best flavor — lemon, mustard, tonkatsu sauce, sesame seeds, pickles, and lemon salt. Plus, every set includes unlimited refills of rice, tonjiru, and shredded cabbage. We are dedicated to delivering the best dining experience to every guest.
PRESS & MEDIA
SAKU has been featured in several press outlets as one of the best places to enjoy authentic Katsu in Canada. We appeared on Dragon’s Den and received high praise with investors commenting on the Katsu as “Nice and light, fluffy, airy” and “Really unique and delicious.”
Our growing reputation stems from consistency, quality, and our commitment to doing things the right way.
