Tonkatsu is a very popular Japanese food. According to Wikipedia, it was invented in the late 19th century. It consists of a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet one to two centimeters thick and sliced into bite-sized pieces, generally served with shredded cabbage and/or miso soup. Either a pork fillet (ヒレ, hire) or pork loin (ロース, rōsu) cut may be used; the meat is usually salted, peppered, dredged lightly in flour, dipped into beaten egg and then coated with panko (breadcrumbs) before being deep fried.
My mom is living and working in the land of the rising sun for almost 24 years already. Every time she comes home, there's always a pasalubong that includes Japanese foods that's why one of my fave dishes is Japanese and Tonkatsu is my 2nd Japanese fave food (Tempura being #1 :-D)
This recipe was posted on my former blog that i deleted already but you can still read the original post to my multiply account.
