Tama Katsudon (Osaka Katsudon) is a donburi that is a specialty of Sakai City (Sakai Ward) and most notably Maruhan Katsushidon-ya (Maruhan Katsu Don Shop). It gets its name from the amount of eggs that are notably used in the dish and many other shops in osaka keep within the idea of more eggs than usual. It has gained the reputation for generous amount of egg flavor.
The classic has a single cutlet and is made as a typical donburi that is a with half cooked egg. But many hungry salary men eat the double cutlet with two eggs, because of the wonderful egg cooking technique. There is an option to get the double egg on the single donburi by paying a bit extra and is still very filling. Sometimes people order miso soup on the side with a drink of Beer. Takuan is on the side for those who want a taste of pickles. It appears large as the bowl has that has its sweet and salty sauce that is a little more soupy to make proper coverage of the rice. The heat for the sauce has to be very high to get the proper heat necessary for the second group of egg or eggs. The egg really sticks out with a fully cooked egg texture and flavor as well has a seemingly half cooked egg. The technique that separates it from the other katsudon is the eggs placed with the sauce and cutlets and another egg is placed about 30 seconds before the cooking is done and the lid allows it some time to steam. Green onions are spread all over to make sure each bite contains crunch. The really high heat of the dish makes it necessary to allow the dish to rest for a few seconds before eating, because it is so hot.
