Katsudon (カ ツ 丼) is Japanese food, a bowl of rice on which is
given chunks of fried pork, eggs, vegetables, and spices.
This dish
comes from the Japanese word, tonkatsu for pork chop and donburi for a bowl of
rice dishes.
Katsudon has
become a tradition for students in Japan to eat it the night before the exam or
entrance school. This is due to the word "katsu" which is the
homophone of the katsu verb, which means "win" or "winner".
Katsudon also
became famous in Japanese police films: many people thought that the suspect
would speak honestly with tears when they ate katsudon and asked, "Have
you ever thought how your mother feels about this?" Even today, the joke
"we have to eat katsudon while being interrogated" became a popular
thing in Japanese films.
