Japanese Schnitzel? Absolutely! Schnitzel (called tonkatsu) was introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in the late 19th century. It’s a popular dish there, and is even served sandwich style a Katsu-Sando on toast. But we think the sourdough kaiser is a better choice. Come in this week (Nov 7 - 11) and taste Chef Jay’s Japanese inspired schnitzel, the Ginza Schnitzel Sandwich. No, it’s not tonkatsu. It’s fine Japanese dining on a bun. If you’re a fan of Japanese flavours,... you’re going to love this combination: Oyster mushrooms deglazed with mirin; house pickled pearl onions and matchstick carrots; finished with fresh ginger puree, wasabi and fresh avocado. Weekly Soup Feature: Pumpkin Corn Lemongrass In Japan, tonkatsu is often served with miso soup. You can get miso soup in dozens of Japanese restaurants in Calgary, but where else can you get pumpkin corn lemongrass? The Portuguese didn’t just bring schnitzel to Japan, they brought the pumpkin. Actually, it’s a type of squash called Kabocha but commonly known as Japanese pumpkin.

Halloween at That Schnitzel Place. Couldn't resist taking a photo of a "hot dog" with his schnitzel sandwich. Now that's a weiner schnitzel! Thanks, whoever you are, for letting us use your photo.
