Tonkatsu sauce is a sweet, fruity, ketchup style sauce containing
tomatoes, apples, shoyu, maybe some pickled plums and it typically has
some dark spice taste to it. It's great sauce! You can make it at home
and it will come out very similar to your meatloaf glaze. I like the
Japanese bottled stuff but ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, shoyu, brown
sugar, and a little mustard and a little balsamic vinegar will do in a
pinch. The Japan stuff typically will contain apples and plums. We're
plum crazy about the stuff. All I know is the world would be a sadder
place without T-sauce. :-)

That was an aptly named recipe because it was a classic meatloaf
alright. That's real American food! I guess you'd like it better if it
was stuffed with cheese, but then again, who wouldn't? That's a good
idea to freeze some. Next time weave a little meatloaf coat out of bacon
and deep fry that thing! :-)
