The words irresponsible and optimistic were directed at my boss. My boss gave me a sheet of music for my next job, and there it was, the code. I muttered to myself.
"Jazz piano..."😰
I must eat a katsudon and practice again to get back into the swing of things!😡

Wasabi-Katsudon is a bowl of rice topped with pork cutlet and wasabi. When eating, wasabi is dipped in the cutlet. Wasabi is famous as a condiment for sushi and soba noodles, but it is also a versatile seasoning that goes well with meat dishes such as katsudon and steak.

It is not a katsudon. I do not recognize this as a katsudon. Even if everyone but me recognized it, I would never recognize it. Curry-katsudon is not katsudon. It is just a different bowl of curry-cutlet!

I am currently in the middle of a serious dispute with a friend (female). Every time I see her, we argue. It's a battle for women's willpower and pride, which neither she nor I can ever give in to. It's... a fight to decide which tastes better, katsudon or oyakodon (parent and child bowl)!

"I would like to try a katsudon, but for religious reasons I cannot eat pork. "
I received this message.
It's okay! I don't care what kind of meat you have in your katsudon! Pork, beef, chicken, sheep, fish... The most unusual katsudon I've ever eaten is kangaroo and frog!

On my way home from a business trip, I was enjoying a katsudon and beer on the train when suddenly a foreign woman next to me asked.
"Avez-vous l'âge de boire ?"😳
I responded reflexively.
"Ja, natürlich!"😵
This was a conversation on a train running through the Japanese countryside.😅

Yesterday's activities (work is off)
Wake up → breakfast and housework → basic piano practice → lunch at random → practice piano piece to play at work → get bored and play my favorite piano piece → dinner → bath, etc → play electronic piano → sleep.
Dinner was take-out katsudon and beer.

There are many soba and udon restaurants along roads in mountainous areas and rural areas of Japan. And the katsudon at those restaurants is almost always delicious. It's better than the specialty restaurants in town or national chain restaurants.
(This is my personal opinion.)

... I am being toyed with.
From a female photographer friend of mine. At first we were shooting in parks and stuff, but before I knew it we were shooting like gravure idols. Swimsuit and all... Out of the gate, permanently sealed!
She bought me an expensive katsudon!

Genghis Khan is a Japanese adaptation of a Mongolian nomadic dish called khooyorou.This Katsudon, or Genghis Khan-Katsudon, is a further adaptation of this dish.Yes, it is delicious if you eat it occasionally, but if you eat it everyday, it is still pork katsudon.

I've seen a lot of katsudon before, but this was the first time I'd seen it presented like this. The katsu was cut into pieces and deliberately skewered on top of the rice.……Why? 🤔🧐😵🤯
I thought about asking the waiter, but the timing was bad. I'll ask next time I go.

Perhaps because katsudon is so familiar to the Japanese diet, it is often featured as a topic of gluttony on Youtube and other media. This katsudon was a gluttonous katsudon served at a restaurant in Chiba, Japan. It weighs about 4 kg (8.8 lbs, 141 oz). This amount is for one person.

It is all brown. The yellow of the egg blended into the brown. If I had wanted more green, I would have liked a little more, but the taste was good. Most of the customers at the restaurant were men, so the atmosphere of eating without worrying about manners is probably popular among men.

I'm sick and tired of everything that's been going on in my professional and personal life lately, so I'm changing my banner and avatar for a change. You may be a little surprised.Of course, I will continue to write about Katsudon.
I will change it when I update tomorrow.

Ponzu-Katsudon. Ponzu sauce is poured over the pork cutlet.Actually, I do not like this katsudon very much. It changes the texture of the pork cutlet and the taste of the ponzu is too strong. Taste is a personal thing, so I won't say it tastes bad, but I wouldn't order it.

A female friend of mine from high school, who is now a photographer, asked me to model for her. I really did not want to be a model, but as a friend I had no choice but to accept. After negotiations, the reward was two months of all-you-can-eat katsudon. But all-you-can-eat…🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤💕🤤

I found a katsudon with fish at a restaurant near a fishing port. The type of fish seems to change depending on the day's stock, and on the day I had it, it was horse mackerel. They also serve salmon, horse mackerel, sea bream and plaice on some days. I want to try all kinds.

As you can see from the way I straddle the motorcycle, I am a little taller than the average Japanese woman. But unfortunately, my stomach capacity is on par with the average. So even if I was offered such a pork cutlet bowl as a service, I would not be able to eat it all.

There are many different katsudon in Japan, but none is as unique as the katsudon served in Okinawa. Some restaurants serve regular katsudon, but the katsudon served at most restaurants in Okinawa is so filled with vegetables that you can hardly see the katsudon.

Yesterday was a holiday and I was going to go to a Katsudon restaurant on my motorcycle before noon, when I was stopped by a police car on a straight road with no traffic light...
It was my first violation in a long time, and together with the fine, it was an expensive katsudon.

The owner of a diner I frequent serves hamburge- steak-katsudon, saying it's a new menu item.
......?🤔
I asked, wondering.
"What's the difference from menchi(minced meat cutlet)-katsudon?"
The owner looks away and pretends not to hear me.
Yeah, it's the same dish, just with a different name.😓

My stupid boss said to me.
"We have a customer coming from Brazil next week, and we need you to handle it."😏
"...I don't speak Portuguese."😑
"Don't worry, I don't speak English either!"👍
Irresponsible!😭
I'm going to stuff his nose and earholes with katsudon and pull the hair out of his bald head!😡

I am in Okayama Prefecture on a business trip. Speaking of good food in Okayama...there are kibi-dumplings, white-peaches, bara-zushi, horumon-udon, etc... But the best food in Okayama is demi-katsudon! The sweet and sour demi-glace sauce is the best match!

The owner of a soba restaurant that I often visit asked me to play piano accompaniment for him as he was going to sing and record the school song at a reunion of his elementary school that was closed 20 years ago. His reward was a five-meal set of katsudon.
