Bull Dog Tonkatsu Sauce

Bull-Dog Vegetable + Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce is a pantry must, in my book. Tangy, rich, and insanely versatile for a buffet of dishes: case and point: Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish of breaded deep fried pork cutlet and yet my husband and I are pesco-vegetarian and don't eat meat aside from fish. Yet this 'deep fried pork' sauce hits the mark for us for fried tofu, broiled salmon, Morning Star vegetarian "chicken" nuggets (my favorite use for this sauce) and just as a simple dipping sauce for french fries and root vegetables such as carrots. I also love to add this sauce to homemade gravy, soups and stews, and chili. See? Versatile little bottle!

Taste: If you were to dilute A1 sauce with worcestershire, ketchup, sugar and lemon juice, you'd get a similar taste to this Bull-Dog tonkatsu sauce. If you aren't a fan of tangy, this might not be for you. Shipping: I ordered this March 23 2014 and it arrived March 25 2014, securely packaged and without any damage. I was very pleased. Expiration: It is always a risk, it seems, buying food on amazon hoping the expiration date isn't past or a week away- but I was happy to see the expiration date was November 2015. Trust me, it won't last two months in this home. We're crazy for it! I hope this was helpful. If you're on the fence on buying this product, I say go for it. It isn't for everyone. Whereas I loved it at hello, it took a few meals until my husband was a big fan (he particularly enjoys it as a marinade for white fish and salmon, I imagine it works great for chicken and steak in the same manner). Don't think of this as just a sauce replacement for A1, ketchup or BBQ. It stands on it's own, and makes a great addition to add some variety to your weekly meals. Enjoy!

Tasty classic flavor makes a delicious addition to rice dishes

I had to try this sauce since I wanted my tonkatsu recipe to be as authentic as possible. It takes a bit of getting used to, since we never had it before. Good sauce. I guess it is Japanese ketchup of sorts. Very expensive to buy online, though. I purchased three and will definitely buy again. The unopened bottles sit in the pantry in the condiment section along with good old Heinz ketchup and French's mustard. ;)

Decent Tonkatsu sauce.

I saw this on an anime and thought I should try it. The character really loved it! 😹 It’s a pleasant savory flavor and I use it on burgers and chicken patties.

Probably as close to homemade tonkatsu sauce you can get. Flavors were all the and has that tangy taste to it that other store bought sauces lack. Other sauces tend to taste more like bbq sauce, but this is pure tonkatsu sauce.

You just cannot have chicken katsu or tonkatsu (pork) without this sauce, some white rice and a side of thinly julienned cabbage. What’s nice about it is it will last forever. The high fructose corn syrup is the second ingredient in the list (not the first). And, most importantly, it tastes so good. As the honorable say when they enjoy a good meal, “It taste’s like home.” Wherever home may be, this sauce will transport you there. Actually, let me clarify. It will likely only trigger nostalgic feelings among the people of Japan and the Japanese diaspora. Every country has that one food thing, right? Like Italy has pasta, France has croissants, and Ethiopia has injera. But wait, I guess for Japan, that one food would be sushi. Not this delicious sauce. Yeah, that makes more sense. Anyway, this is a delicious sauce and you should try it.

I love this on some breaded pork or chicken cutlet. I like several brands, but this one is pretty iconic. Never had a problem with the product freshness or anything. It's kind of like a savory ketchup or a fruity bbq sauce. The bottle is smaller now, but lasts us a while because we just use it for one or two dishes now and then. The value isn't bad if you get the two pack, too.
