History
↓↓
Sauce katsudon originated in Japan in the early 20th century, particularly in regions such as Nagoya and Niigata, where tonkatsu was served over rice with Worcestershire-style sauce. Unlike the standard katsudon, sauce katsudon focuses on the rich flavor of the sauce and the crispy texture of the fried cutlet.
Today, sauce katsudon is a popular comfort food in Japan and is enjoyed in restaurants, school cafeterias, and homes, offering a slightly different experience from the classic egg-based katsudon.
