3.Eating manner

Eating style is also unique at kushikatu restaurants and food bars as you dip kushi-katsu into a pot of thinner sauce before eating.

As a sauce pot is shared among customers, and putting your food after a bite is seen not only as a disgusting manner but for sanitary reasons.

Some kusi-yaki restaurants prepare menu and instruction in English and other languages to warn overseas travelers not to dip food into the shared sauce pot after you bite them, both for sanitary reason and customs.

Instead, you will use a slice of cabbege on your table and scoop up sauce from the pot and pour it on your share of kushi-katsu. In some restaurants they put a brush or spoon to the shared pot that you season the kushi on your dish.
