And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Back in the last 50's when my father, a career Air Force officer, was stationed in Japan, we often went to a pork restaurant that had tonkatsu sauce for the pork.
Good Lord, that ingredient list: Water, high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, vinegar... and down at the very end: Spices, prune paste, carrots, onions, lemon juice.
It really is the Japanese equivalent of A-1 sauce but thicker with much less vinegar; more mellow, less tangy. It is really good on fried foods, and it's a staple in every Japanese kitchen; in that sense the comparison to ketchup is a goodcome.
There are 2 varieties of this stuff, both GOOD. I discovered it while trying to find a suitable substitute for A1 sauce (original hasn't been around for a LONG time now).
It's been a staple in Japan for decades and sits on many restaurant tables.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stuff. I make tonkasu just so I can eat it.
ReplyDeleteIt's A1 sauce in a different container
ReplyDeleteSweeter than A1.
DeleteFrom the list of ingredients, it’s essentially just ketchup. Sugar, vinegar, tomato paste, salt.

ReplyDeleteA sweat BBQ sauce that works well with pork cutlets and medallions. It is easy to make and use a darker soy sauce.
ReplyDeletegood on omelettes too.
ReplyDeleteI make my own…easy and much better. Enzo
ReplyDeleteIt's good stuff. I use it on omelets and okonomiyaki.
ReplyDeleteKikkoman also makes a decent katsu sauce
