Haha! Actually now that I think....Very interesting. Haha! Actually now that I think... I put so much ground meat and mushrooms into korokke that they don't contain more than half potatoes.... so it's something between korokke and menchi katsu... If I understood you don't precook the meat before mixing with potatoes? <br />(In Tokyo depachika underground stalls they put calorie values of korokke, tonkatsu and such. When I saw the huge difference between tonkatsu and menchi katsu, I never bought menchi katsu... It scared me! I must taste it next time.)Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-4109526739191795152014-11-01T21:19:47.204+09:002014-11-01T21:19:47.204+09:00seeandoh: Yes, really delicious!
