Miso Katsudon, originally was a bed of rice with fried thick pork chunks with miso sauce which is now considered the Ganso Misoktasu Don. Later on variations such as the Misokatsudon that had the deep-fried pork cutlet cooked with egg and vegetables and the miso sauce directly. Later on these would be used in Misokatsu sando (miso fried cutlet sandwich).
Ajidoko Kanou is a restaurant that is in a narrow street of Sakae and mostly filled with local customers as the originator of the Misokatsu donburi. It was founded in 1948 and known for the origins of the Miso Katsu. It was opened by "Sugimoto Toshisuke" who opened the store for Japanese cuisine initially and designed the lunch menu to have Miso Katsudon. While it was not named as that and said to be ordered as a lunch the customers would have made the term "Miso cutlet" which is why there seems to be some misunderstanding of the dish. Those who have ordered the dish for quite sometime would try to make a sauce that was much more than the amounts at the store and make it differently. So much so there is actually a Miso Cutlet dish in a hand full of households in the nearby area. So, if Miso cutlet wasn't the actual dish and wasn't the actual name how did Miso Katsudon come about? It was when Sugimoto went and asked a customer "Are you sure you want a miso katsudon?" and it was born. In the back he would be using vegetable oil to deep fry the fresh pork with its extremely thick chunks with a delicious miso sauce. It would be placed in a bowl with an egg in the middle to complete the dish. Large amounts of scallions were optional and added for additional crunch to the dish.
