Such a tasty dish!  Tonkatsu is a fried pork cutlet.  This one is done with panko breadcrumbs, served with shredded cabbage and a sesame-based dressing.

I had originally thought this was miso soup, but it was way spicy for what it was, so I’m not sure.  

Tonkatsu is usually sliced into strips and eaten with a sauce that is similar to a BBQ sauce.  Katsu, the fried pork, often pops up in other formats, such as in a sandwich on white bread or in my favorite dish, Curry Katsu Don, basically fried pork over rice with a curry sauce.  YUM.

OM NOM NOM. One time I had tonkatsu that for real had cheese on the bottom. It was like a janky mozzarella stick fillet. And in Japan, no restuarant EVER skimped on my rice portion. (“Teacher! Tell us secret. What is your rice portion?” “I don’t actually eat rice a lot.” “OHHHH~” In America I’ve actually been eating way more rice than before. My mom has been feeding me.)

Who me? Just surfing the food tag like every day.
