About Japanese katsu sandwich
The Japanese Katsu sandwich, or Katsu Sando, is a popular dish from Japanese cuisine combining savory flavors with satisfying textures. This sandwich features crisply fried breaded pork or chicken cutlet (katsu) nestled between two slices of soft, crust-less white bread, often accompanied by a tangy, slightly sweet tonkatsu sauce and shredded cabbage. While undeniably delicious, the fried cutlet increases its calorie and fat content, making it more indulgent than a typical sandwich. The shredded cabbage adds a touch of fiber and nutrients, while the tonkatsu sauce contributes depth of flavor with minimal calories. Its origins lie in Japan's yoshoku cuisine, which adapt Western-style dishes to Japanese tastes. While not the healthiest option due to frying and refined bread, enjoying it as an occasional treat balances its rich taste with cultural significance.
