Tonkatsu Sauce
とんかつソース
Used in 1 recipe
What is it?
Sweet-savory Japanese finishing condiment for katsu — thicker and fruitier than Worcestershire.
Culinary role
Striped over sliced chicken katsu just before serving.
Buying guide
Tonkatsu sauce (とんかつソース) is the thick, fruity brown condiment striped over sliced katsu — sweeter and milder than Worcestershire alone. Bull-Dog is the reference brand in Japan and abroad; look for the tapered squeeze bottle in Asian aisles.
It keeps for months refrigerated after opening. Warm slightly if it thickens in the fridge so it drizzles cleanly over crispy cutlets.
- Budget pick: mainstream Bull-Dog or similar.
- Premium pick: imported Japanese squeeze bottles with fruit-forward blends.
Substitutes
Worcestershire mixed with a little ketchup and sugar — close, not identical.
How to store
Refrigerate after opening; wipe the bottle neck to prevent stickiness.
Shelf life
Opened: 3–6 months refrigerated.
