About Okayama Demi-Katsu Don
Okayama Demi-Katsu Don (おかやまデミカツ丼) is a beloved local rice bowl specialty from Okayama. It features freshly fried, perfectly crispy pork cutlets topped with a hot and velvety demi-glace sauce. While this dish can be found throughout Okayama Prefecture, it is particularly popular in Okayama City.
The origin of Demi-Katsu Don traces back to 1931, when it was created by the historic tonkatsu restaurant "Ajitsushi Nomura." Inspired by the demi-glace sauce served at the famous Imperial Hotel, the founder wanted to bring its exquisite flavor to the people of Okayama.
