If you're crazy for katsu, a katsuholic with a capital K, you've probably considered different ways of enjoying your favorite morsels of savory golden-breaded goodness. From classic combinations like katsu curry and katsudon rice bowls to katsu sandwiches and even katsu curry sandwiches, you've probably tried quite a few options for your meals. Breakfast, on the other hand, is probably not one of them.
But all of that may change when you see this.
Leave it to かつや Katsuya, one of Japan's most popular katsu restaurant chains, to lead the charge in changing preconceived notions of katsu. They've toyed with breakfast-y food before with offerings like crispy cornflake chicken katsu bowls. Since many people associate bacon with breakfast, their heaps of bacon and chicken katsu may also have given off breakfast vibes.
Now they've taken the plunge, diving headlong into breakfast territory with their ベーコンエッグソースカツ (bēkon eggu sōsu katsu | Saucy Katsu with Bacon and Eggs)!
Saucy Katsu with Bacon and Eggs
This powerhouse combines Katsuya's popular ソースカツ丼(梅) (sōsu katsu ume Saucy Katsu - Ume) drizzled with their homemade sauce with bacon and a sunny-side-up egg. You can get it as a rice bowl, as seen above, or as a set meal on a bed of shredded cabbage, with miso soup and a small bowl of rice on the side. Both options also come in takeout and delivery bento versions, with the sunny-side-up egg replaced with a slow-cooked 温泉卵 (onsen tamago | "hot springs" egg).
