Hi, this is Payke writer, LINA!
Have you eaten Katsu Sandwiches? Katsu is tick pork cutlets breaded with flour, egg, and bread crumbs and then deep-fried in oil. It is famous food in Japan and eaten with shredded cabbage as you can see in the picture. It is filling and thick pork and crunchy flour are nice!
Katsu is eaten all the year over but there is a time when it gets attention the most. When is it?
The answer is from January to March, which is the time for students to take the entrance exam! In Japan, many schools begin in April so the entrance exam is took place from January to March. Moreover, in Japanese it is same sound as “Katsu” and “Katsu (win)” so we eat it before the exam/game. Not all the family are believing in it but Katsu is filling and makes you energetic so it is perfect food to eat before the exam♪
