Busy cooks
Tonkatsu is a delicious Japanese dish which consists of a breaded, deep fried pork cutlet. There are two main types, fillet and loin. It is often served with shredded cabbage. Tonkatsu Wako is a chain of Tonkatsu restaurants throughout the whole of Japan. There are five of these stores located in inner Sapporo and one on the coast in Tomakomai. All of these popular restaurants have the same mouth watering dishes on their menus, and at the same prices, so while in Hokkaido, be sure to drop in to Tonkatsu Wako for a tasty lunch or dinner.

Fried shrimp and crab croquette
The menu not only has deep fried pork cutlets, but also a variety of deep fried, seafood dishes. There is the deep fried shrimp or a nice deep fried crab meat croquette. Deep fried chicken is also on the menu! All the tonkatsu dishes come with a sauce (similar to that of a thick worcestershire sauce) and ‘karashi’ which is a hot mustard paste, exactly the same as a good hot english mustard. Tonkatsu dishes all come with rice, a miso soup and pickled vegetables to complete a perfect meal.
