comment:

This katsu-don is very diffrent fom the typical katsu-don recipe cooked throughout Japan. However, the demi-glace sauce used in this recipe suits pork cutlets and rice, and gives it a good taste. It is popular in Okayama City in Okayama Prefecture (demi-katsu-don) and Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture (yōfū-katsu-don). Okayama Prefecture is in the Chūgoku region in the western part of mainland Japan. Niigata Prefecture is in the middle of mainland Japan on the Sea of Japan side.
