Tonkato Lizzie Hot May 2026
Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish that originated in the Meiji period (1868-1912). The word "tonkatsu" is derived from the Japanese words "ton," meaning pork, and "katsu," short for "katsuretsu," which means cutlet. The dish was inspired by Western-style breaded and fried cutlets, and it has since become a staple in Japanese cuisine.
