Tare-katsu Don
A row of thin cutlets sits atop the rice. Unlike other styles, these are not bound with egg; instead, they are lightly dipped in a sweet and savory soy-based sauce. The coating is light and crispy, creating a deliciousness that makes you feel like you could eat endless bowls. Tare-katsu Don was born in the early Showa era. The restaurant believed to be its birthplace, "Tonkatsu Taro," was a Western-style eatery opened in Furumachi by an owner who had trained in French cuisine. It is said that when they took cutlets—which were a fashionable dish at the time—dipped them in soy sauce and served them over rice, it instantly became popular. Niigata, which flourished as a port town for the Kitamaebune shipping route, is said to have embraced Western-style food culture early on. The Niigata style does not use egg. It remains a beloved local soul food to this day.
