A little love letter

Brace yourself for the crunch and savor of the Katsu Sando, a Japanese-inspired sandwich that’s taking the culinary world by storm. Featuring crispy panko-crusted chicken, this sandwich packs a punch with every layer of flavor.

Perfectly crispy and deliciously juicy, the Katsu Sando is best served immediately after assembly to maintain its textural contrast. Slice it in half to show off the beautiful layers of red cabbage slaw, green butter lettuce, creamy kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce.

While best enjoyed fresh, you can store the prepped ingredients separately in the fridge. The panko chicken can be kept for up to two days.
