Tonkatsu, the original Japanese dish, has its roots in the Meiji period (1868-1912). It is believed to have been inspired by the Western-style breaded and deep-fried cutlets, which were introduced to Japan by European chefs. Over time, Japanese chefs adapted the recipe to suit local tastes, using pork instead of beef or veal. The dish gained popularity in Japan and eventually spread to other parts of the world, including Asia and the Americas. tonkato lizzie
