You should try some Amai Sauce on it. There may well be other versions
of it, but this one comes from Wagamama Restaurant:

Amai Sauce

Keeps for a few weeks in the fridge & makes about 4fl oz.

1 tablespoon malt vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
2 teaspoons tamarind paste

Gently heat the vinegar, sugar and soy sauces in a small pan until the
sugar has dissolved. Stir in the remaining ingredients and set aside to
cool.

Once you make it, you'll find all kinds of uses for it.

You don't necessary have to get Panko bread crumbs (expensive). You can toast some bread and grate it. It works just as well, if not better.

If you like Katsu, then you might like Katsu-don.

Place your Tori-Katsu on top of a bowl of rice (gohan). Crack open an egg and drop it on top while the rice/Katsu are hot. The egg will cook. This how it's done in Japan.

In Japan, Katsu is traditionally pork, but chicken, beef, and shrimp are also options.

This problem is true,thank you very much !
