What is Tonkatsu Sauce?
Tonkatsu sauce (とんかつソース) or katsu sauce is a Japanese condiment that dates back to the Meiji era, when Western ingredients like Worcestershire sauce and ketchup first entered Japanese kitchens.
Over time, Japanese makers developed a thicker, sweeter version made with fruits, vegetables, and spices. It became the go-to sauce for panko-breaded and fried foods.

My homemade version uses four ingredients: Worcestershire sauce, sugar, ketchup, and oyster sauce.
