Headline news for April 23, 2026
Katsuya, a restaurant specializing in tonkatsu (pork cutlets), will be offering a limited-time ' Dashi Soy Sauce Pork Cutlet in the Oyakodon ' from April 28th, 2026 (Tuesday). This dish features a crispy fried pork cutlet encased in a fluffy and creamy oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl). Instead of simply placing the pork cutlet on top of the oyakodon, it is placed inside, resulting in a delicious dish where the broth and dashi soy sauce blend together. The price is 979 yen (tax included).
The more you add, the better it tastes.

I've inquired many times in the past, but not a single producer has agreed to do business with me. (Slow response, unclear terms, and refusal of new business.)
I've vaguely sensed this since the Finnish slanted-eye controversy, but it seems that even countries supposedly advanced in human rights are casually using discriminatory language that crosses the line when it comes to Japanese people. For the West, where discrimination against Black people or Muslims would seriously ruin their social standing, discrimination against Asians must be the 'last frontier.'
