I was born as the first son in a family where my parents had been running a western-style restaurant (洋食屋) called Restaurant Yamakyu. I still remember some of the popular dishes were the pork-cutlet and the wagyu-beef cutlet (牛カツ). 

A breadcrumbed and deep-fried pork-cutlet is called ton-katsu (トンカツ) in Japanese. Ton means pork and, katsu means breadcrumbed and deep-fried.

The Japanese love katsu, which is a Japanese version of schnitzel. We have created popular dishes with katsu such as pork-cutlet sandwichs, katsu-don (sliced pork-cutlet cooked with dashi broth and egg and served on top of boiled rice in a large bowl called a donburi) and Miso-katsu (sliced pork-cutlet with sweet Hatcho miso sauce).


Ingredients 

4 Pork loins (120g-150g each slice, 1.5cm thick) (Chicken breast fillet, beef and white flesh fish can be substituted)

8 Slices of bread (1.5cm thick)

Panko breadcrumbs as needed (200g)

One egg 

100ml water as needed

50g wheat flour as needed

Canola or soybean oil as needed ( I normally need 1 litre.)
