Pork Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish consisting of a breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet. Typically made with pork loin or pork fillet, it is coated in a mixture of flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs before being crispy-fried to golden perfection. Originating from Japan's Western-influenced Yoshoku cuisine, Tonkatsu is often served alongside shredded cabbage, steamed rice, and tonkatsu sauce—a thick, tangy condiment similar to Worcestershire sauce. While high in protein, the dish is also calorie-dense due to the frying process and the use of refined panko breadcrumbs. For healthier variations, it can be baked or air-fried, and paired with nutrient-rich side dishes like miso soup or fresh greens. Pork Tonkatsu embodies a satisfying balance of crunch, flavor, and comfort that makes it both a beloved comfort food and a cultural staple.
