This is a menchi-dopped rice bowl, similar to katsudon.
Recipe background:
My husband prefers menchi-don over katsudon, so I started making this. I used to season it with dashi, sugar, mirin, and sake, but the flavor would turn out too strong or too weak each time. That's when I discovered how easy and convenient it is to use mentsuyu! Now I use mentsuyu to season both katsudon and menchi-don.
