Miso Katsu is a beloved Japanese dish that features crispy, deep-fried pork cutlet (Tonkatsu) topped with a rich, savory red miso-based sauce. The combination of the crunchy panko-breaded pork and the bold, sweet-and-salty miso sauce is irresistible—and has captured the hearts (and appetites) of many across Japan. Originally a local specialty from Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, miso katsu has grown far beyond its regional roots and can now be found in major cities throughout the country.
