In Japanese cuisine, “youshoku (western food)” refers to a style of Western-influenced cooking which originated during the Meiji period (the 19th century), while “washoku (Japanese food)” is the traditional Japanese cuisine since the Nara period (the 8th century).
“Porkchup” is a the naming trope of pork and ketchup that originates from pork chop in the U.S. , and it is one of the most popular youshoku. Cut pork is grilled on a hot iron dish with ketchup and Worcester sauce, then it is served on an iron dish. The smell of hot pork juice with this rich sauce whets your appetite, so this goes very well with rice and beer.
