I get Japanese Bread Crumbs from a Asian grocery store, but I have seen them at regular supermarket/grocery store, too.

I live in the Midwest, one of the examples of the regular grocery stores here is Giant Eagle.

Hi I am still trying to make this lovely recipe, but I can not get any rice wine any where, could I use anything else I don't want to spoil it so if any other thing would spoil it I will continue to try to find the wine.

When I was in Japan (13 years ago)this was my favorite food there. Since then, I make it at home all the time, so I've been making it for 13 years! It's my #1 favorite meal. I use kikoman tonkatsu sauce and serve it with calrose rice and make the rice is extra sticky (Hawaiian style because I grew up in Hawaii)
I also make chicken katsu (just sub chicken) when I don't have pork, but pork is my favorite!

You can purchase Panko at super target now! It's getting popular, I use panko a lot. You can also sub crushed corn flakes in a pinch and that works well.
