Description

Sauce katsudon is a Japanese dish consisting of a breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu) served over a bowl of rice and topped with a rich, tangy sauce instead of the usual egg and broth. It is a flavorful and popular comfort food.

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.
