comment:

This dish, Supa-katsu is quite hearty and delicious ("Supa" is a shortened word in Japanese for "spaghetti," and "katsu" means "breaded cutlet.") It was first made for fishermen at a restaurant in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan's most northern main island, and later spread to the general Hokkaido population. At that restaurant, this dish is usually served on a sizzling hot iron plate, allowing you to enjoy it piping hot.
