Tonkatsu, whose name means Japanese pork cutlet, is a Japanese cutlet made from pork, prepared by coating slices of pork loin or fillet with panko bread crumbs and deep-frying them in oil. Along with kare raisu and korokke, it is considered one of the three great yoshoku, the popular Western-style dishes introduced to Japan.
