This Katsudon was an absolute revelation, Japan really does food on another level

Just had the most comforting bowl of Katsudon (カツ丼) and I'm still thinking about it.

For the uninitiated: Katsudon is a donburi (rice bowl) topped with a crispy deep-fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu), softly set egg, and onion, all simmered in a sweet-savory dashi broth. The whole thing comes together in a way that's rich, silky, and deeply satisfying. This one was garnished with shredded nori and a touch of fresh herb — served alongside a bowl of steamed rice, shredded cabbage, miso soup, and tonkatsu sauce for dipping
