I love these. I needed plain panko bread crumbs for a chicken recipe and these were all that they had. They were great. I make fat chicken strips, dip them in egg, then bread them with these and pan fry them. I make a dipping sauce of mayo and honey for them. My husband and stepson love them. In fact, my stepson requested that I make them for his birthday dinner.
I have had a hard time finding them in my supermarket all the time, so I ordered a case from Amazon. I even gave a couple of boxes to friends so they can see how great these are.

Panko is Japan\'s secret ingredient for crunch. A flaky bread crumb with a coarse texture and jagged edges, panko imparts a delicate crispiness perfect for frying or baking. For nearly a decade, panko has been popping up on the plates of fine dining restaurants, but for the home chef, panko has been difficult to find. Not anymore. Progresso Foods introduces its newest gourmet bread crumb. For a simple way to punch up the flavor and crunch of your Italian dishes, use Progresso Italian Style Panko.

Bull-Dog - Vegetable & Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce 10.1 Fl. Oz. Review

I learned to love Bull Dog Tonkatsu sauce while I was living in Japan. There was a small deli/grill just outside my local train station that sold set meals of tempura and tonkatsu. (For those who may not know, tonkatsu is a breaded, deep fried pork cutlet. The sauce is designed to garnish this delicacy.) I used to pick some up on my way home from work, stamping my feet to keep warm as I trudged up the interminable hill that led to my apartment. I bought this sauce at the local grocery store and kept it on hand for just such occasions!
To the previous reviewer who compared the flavor to that of nutmeg: Bravo! you almost nailed it:) I have a home made version of tonkatsu sauce I cobble together as a clone. It calls for a significant amount of allspice and clove, as well as a generous splash of sake. If you Google for recipes you can experiment yourself, if you're so inclined. But then, the good folks over at Bull Dog may object to my counter productive views--sorry folks! :)
In closing, I want to urge you to visit Japan and try tonkatsu for yourselves! I had a wonderful time during the two years I lived there! Here's a treasure hunt for you: there is a restaurant specializing in tonkatsu to be found on the top floor of the mall that encompasses the bullet train station in Kyoto. Give that place a try for an unbeatable taste of Japanese cuisine; the view is fantastic! I recommend it highly. Bon appetit!:)

crispier, tastier fried food batter that stays on. Just wish it came in larger quantities I am always having to buy another package. I didn't realize how frequently I use bread crumbs until I started to use Panko.

Panko Japanese style bread crumbs transformed quick pan- sauteed fish from simply good to absolutely great. Once you've tried panko, you may never fry with an ordinary bread crumb again.
