The first experience of demi-katsudon for Webmaster was at Restaurant Nomura. This restaurant started its business in 1931 and is considered as the inventor of demi-katsudon. The cutlet is moderately fried and the sauce matches it. Boiled cabbage is put between cutlet and rice.

   

 

The restaurant provides an English menu with photos.

 

Webmaster tried another demi-katsudon the other day at Sun Restaurant in Okayama Station Building. The taste of the sauce is different from the previous one but taste good again.

   

 

If you have a chance to visit Okayama, please try demi-katsudon.

 

End.
