    I am still amazed by the filming quality of a series that is supposed to be about "junk" food.
    In my opinion, tonkatsu hardly qualifies as junk food, especially if eaten with all that shredded cabbage, but I'm willing and ready to admit it as an honorary member of this glorious category.
    Deep-fried foods are possibly one of my worst weaknesses, I could eat heaps of them, especially meat. I can't wait to be able to visit Japan and eat the *** out of it 😋

    I think RUclips ate my comment so I hope this isn't a repeat.
    I realized I didn't watch all the old episodes (I made a comment about Blacows and didn't watch for a while because I can be very picky about burgers) but I'm going back now because I'm a fan of all rest of the videos. OK, so I might try Blacows AGAIN because Nicholas likes it.
    I've been a fan of tonkatsu since I was a kid (and I have a few years on Nicholas). I've also had my dinner but now I'm craving tonkatsu. Unfortunately, here in Oregon a lot of the Japanese restaurants are run by Korean people and their tonkatsu tends to be very thin (5mm or less). But there are Japanese-run sando stores that have proper tonkatsu.
    I tend to go to the chains (Katsukura and KYK) but this looks great. The Katsukura in Shinjuku above the Takashimaya Department Store uses Japanese pork and is different than the rest of the chain (I asked one of the last times I was there). I've waited in line there and it was worth it. I've also had great tonkatsu at a chain restaurant in Namba when I just followed a bunch of sarari-men going to lunch.
    I'm going to be dreaming about tonkatsu tonight, aren't I?

    I love hearing the chef's talk about the process, but it's a little jarring to hear english and then japanese, then back to english.
    Otherwise, absolutely loving this new channel and cannot wait to get back to Japan to explore some of these places.

    quick question for nick and his viewers, is it wrong to tonkatsu a wagyu new york cut steak? bought three from my local butcher, yes where i live we still have real butchers just curios about the third steak, and for those wondering American wagyu in NV is $63.00 a pound mine totalled out 378.00 out the door

      It’s called GyuKatsu and for inspiration check out WagyuMafia on Instagram. They totally rock the WagyuKatsu sandwich. Tonkatsu is Ton=pork
