When the main dish arrives at the table, it steams with rich, aromatic curry sauce poured over fluffy Japanese rice alongside a perfectly golden, extra-crispy katsu cutlet [[00:25](https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DalkyXP1DVRo%26t%3D25)].
The balance of textures is what makes this meal unforgettable:
* A golden-brown panko breadcrumb crust that holds its crunch [[00:30](https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DalkyXP1DVRo%26t%3D30)].
