Sauce Katsudon

In Fukui, the cutlet is not bound with egg but dipped in sauce and laid directly over rice. Within the prefecture, katsudon often means this very dish.

Highlights

The thinly fried cutlet is quickly dipped in a sweet and savory sauce based on Worcester sauce. The rice and the sauce soaked cutlet pair beautifully, and some bowls stack two or three cutlets for a hearty serving.

Enjoying the Seasons

This classic dish can be enjoyed all year. Its bold seasoning makes it a good stop for a boost of energy when you are tired from a day of walking.

Access and Basic Information

A long established restaurant said to date to the Taisho era stands in Fukui City, and related shops have spread throughout the prefecture.

A Quick Tip

The thin cutlets go down easily, so make sure you are hungry before you order.
