As the summer weather really kicks into gear, you’re probably looking for the perfect summery lunch.
Enter the katsu sandwich, one of today’s hottest food items.
Possibly one of today’s hottest food items is the katsu sando, and for reasons we can certainly understand. Otherwise known as the katsu sandwich, this mouth-watering Japanese creation delivers a tasty comfort that’s truly out of this world.
With crispy, perfectly golden cutlet-style meat, sandwiched between two pillowy slices of Japanese milk bread that tastes just as delicious and heavenly as it sounds, the katsu sando has made its move on the Adelaide food scene and is popping up on menus all over.
If you’re not familiar with the brilliance of the katsu sando just yet, you have some catching up to do, and we’ve got a list of where to try them across Adelaide.
