The 3 things you should know:
The crusted pork chop is prepared to perfection and rivals Tonkatsu from Tokyo.
The "Kyabetsu" or "coselaw" is an unlimited/ all-you-can-eat side dish.
The Tonkastsu sauce is served un-finished. Wooden pestle is provided to allow you to grind the sesame seeds before you mix in the sauce.
"Tonkatsu" is a Japanese dish made from a thick cut of pork loin or fillet, breaded with panko and deep-fried until golden and crispy. It’s sliced into easier to eat bite-sized strips.
The finely shredded cabbage beside it is simply called "kyabetsu" in Japanese, together referred to as tonkatsu kyabetsu or shredded cabbage garnish. It’s a classic pairing meant to balance the richness of the fried pork.
It's served with hot mustard on the side for an extra kick.
