Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish that emerged under the influence of Western cuisine in the late 19th century. It consists of a crispy and golden cutlet made from tender pork meat, fried in breadcrumbs. Juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, tonkatsu captivates gourmets with its simple yet rich flavor. It is usually served with thick tonkatsu sauce that adds savory and sweet notes, along with fresh cabbage and rice, creating a balanced and hearty meal. This dish is perfect for both everyday dinners and cozy gastronomic evenings.
