Katsudon
More like Kat-so-yum. This is a bowl of rice, topped with fried pork cutlets and an egg omelet. Katsudon is not only delicious, but it’s also supposed to bring good luck to students, athletes, or anyone who needs it: The first part of the dish, k_atsu,_ sounds very similar to the Japanese word for “to win” or “to be victorious.” (So, make sure you eat some katsudon before your next exam. If you won’t get a good grade, at least, you had a delicious meal.)
