So glad you've been won over to tonkatsu :)<br /><br />@Anonymous - It *should* be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karashi" rel="nofollow">karashi</a> - a Japanese mustard which comes powdered or in a tube and which you can buy in Japanese/Oriental stores. But English mustard (eg Colmans) is a fine substitute.meemaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252248464524701128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-816929386744796982011-12-05T01:44:15.911+00:002011-12-05T01:44:15.911+00:00is the yellow mustard for the sauce a powder or so...is the yellow mustard for the sauce a powder or something like French mustard?

It was pretty crude, a cape, father's t-shirt with markered "T", and in my right hand a plastic baggie full of tonkatsu pieces. I think I was inspired by how Popeye gained strength by eating spinach...?<br /><br />I heard Renga Tei in Ginza was first to serve Tonkatsu in Japan and also first to garnish with finely shredded cabbage. Hope to eat there my next visit, they were closed as it was close to new years.Dennis K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14818629163699623022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-64162273749032383862011-11-18T11:47:35.838+00:002011-11-18T11:47:35.838+00:00@Su-Lin - Ah, I'd forgotten about Java!
