tonkatsu
Japanese pork cutlet
Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish of breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet, typically served sliced into strips alongside shredded cabbage and a thick, sweet-savory sauce.
The cutlet is coated in panko breadcrumbs, giving it a distinctively light, crispy texture: We ordered tonkatsu and cold beer at the izakaya.
