Tartar Sauce, usually used for fish and shrimp though. It is classically a mayonnaise based sauce with onions, herbs and chopped egg yolk.

No Mid / Higher Tonakstu shop wouid smother your Pork in that. Cheaper places only to cover the taste of cheap pork.

This doesn’t look like tartar. What was the flavour? Looks like bechamel.

If you’re referring to the white sauce katsu set meal that Matsunoya used to sell, it uses the same white sauce as you’d find in gratin.

Listen closely. Tartar sauce is delicious. It is not just for fish. When I first got to Japan, they put chicken nanban in front of me. I was shocked that America never thought of it. I was hooked. It was absolutely amazing.
That’s tartar sauce and it’s not for tonkatstu. That’s chicken-katsu.

To be fair to OP, Japanese tartar sauce is quite different than what I’m used to in Vancouver, Canada. Is more like a runny egg salad, rather than the herbs, pickles and mayo I am used to.

I’ve never seen tatare sauce on pork in Japan. Not that it would be bad. My favorite is probably ポン酢大根おろし
