Unique Gift Idea: Japanese Katsudon Cooking/Travel Kit

Modern yet traditional, Katsudon, like Tokyo itself, is a perfect balance of the two. This dish was created in the mid 20th century to appeal to the soy based 'wafu' or Japanese style of food in a quick to fix and easy to eat format. The crispy pork cutlets are cooked with a savory broth and eggs then placed piping hot on a bowl of rice. Miso soup with wakame completes this dinner. This dish is a favorite among busy 'salary men' and students. Not just ingredients in beautiful containers that when combined with just a few fresh ingredients make a delicious dinner, this kit also contains a 16 page booklet with exquisite images, plenty of facts about the country, culture and food as well as fun trivia about Japan and Japanese etiquette to share with your dinner guests. Beautifully packaged, the red suitcase box opens to reveal the individually encased spices. The cubes used to hold the spices are featured in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection and were selected for their beauty and reuseability.
