Ooo, yumm. Sounds like I’ll have to invite myself over.

I make katsudon at home
And… if I may say so… it’s better than the katsudon that they serve in Japantown (San Francisco).
I don’t roast and grind any sesame seeds, but I do use some sesame oil in the sauteed vegetables. Makes everything smell so goood.

A menu with photos is always fun. And a giant menu is cool. And since these are all restaurants, in a way it’s a menu of menus. Many pictures, many menus, make it very large — a winning formula.
My old roommate in S.F. made tonkatsu at home one night (before my epiphany at Katsukura). It looked like a lot of work, the sauce was by Kagome, and I don’t think we even had sesame, but the meal did have a homemade magic I’d never found in restaurant tonkatsu. We couldn’t stop eating.
Have you tried making tonkatsu at home?

There is something rather thrilling about those Japanese menu walls…
Now I’m craving that *real* tonkatsu with the fresh ground sesame, the kind I’ll never get in Toronto!
