Tonkatsu is one of the items that I wanted to have in Japan. I know there are plenty of places to get Tonkatsu here in the US but this was an item that I put down as wanting to have. Not sure if the origins are with the Austrians who make Schnitzel but it is along the same lines, a deep-fried bread crumb battered piece of pork.
On the table were several Tonaktus sauces and Ponzu sauce. I am a huge fan of Ponzu which is soy sauce with lemon juice. I add it to rice, put it in dressings, mix with mayo. I often think Ponzu is close to ketchup on things that you can use it on! I noticed after telling the other couple at the able what it was, they took a liking to it as well.
The restaurant was located in the Tokyo Station. It was called Tonkatsumaisen. I enjoyed every bite of it!
