comment:
Pouring demi-glace sauce over tonkatsu is unique, and this dish, served with stir-fried buttered rice, is delicious. This dish, called esukaroppu, originated in Nemuro City, Hokkaido, the easternmost city in Japan. Esukaroppu is said to have evolved from the French escalope, but outside of the Hokkaido region, esukaroppu is virtually unknown. The actual Nemuro esukaroppu is said to contain chopped boiled bamboo shoots in the buttered rice.
