Katsuya

Katsuya is a Japanese restaurant chain popular for its sushi, operated by Chef Katsuya Uechi. It is based in California with several locations in Los Angeles as well as a number of international venues.

Yolanda books a reservation at the restaurant in The Muppets episode "The Ex-Factor" as part of Kermit's date with Denise for her birthday. Yolanda further informs him that although she expressed a wish to not receive gifts, Denise is expecting one. Kermit recruits Miss Piggy to procure a gift for him, which he gives to Denise at Katsuya after stalling and ordering several follow-on menu items.

In order to accommodate the actors and Muppeteers, a reasonable facsimile was produced with movable floors. To celebrate the episode, on November 3rd 2015 and through the rest of the week, one of the LA locations sold special sushi rolls named after Kermit and Miss Piggy:

• Miss Piggy roll: Shrimp tempura, avocado, and cucumber seaweed rice, topped with spicy albacore sashimi, ichimi, pepper, and garlic soy butter frise salad
• Kermit roll: Avocado, asparagus, cucumber, and seaweed rice, topped with salmon sashimi and onion ponzu seared dynamite sauce
