    I made this Tonkatsu to go in Japanese curry (I did not make the sauce. Simple, quick, and delicious. Just like I used to eat in Japan.

    Very good and somewhat quick recipe. The only thing I changed (since I made this recipe before was to use 1/2 the amount of sake, but otherwise this was very tasty. The whole family enjoyed.
