tododekucrumbs: ✴︎ Katsudon x Soba ✴︎Midoriya and Todoroki’s favorite foods come up a lot in the series– katsudon and soba noodles. What makes this extra fun for fans is that katsudon and soba are actually often offered as a set at restaurants! So sometimes you’ll see My Hero Academia and Tododeku fans posting pictures or talking about their lunch calling it the “Midoriya & Todoroki set” or “Todoizu set”.Katsudon and soba seems like a random combination, but it’s believed that katsudon was invented at a soba restaurant! According to one story, the soba restaurant “Sanchoan” in Tokyo invented katsudon after trying to figure out a way to reuse leftover tonkatsu (pork cutlet) and serve it to their customers warm. The pork cutlet on katsudon is typically simmered in a dashi-like soup, which soba and udon restaurants have plenty of.Although you do not usually see katsudon at restaurants that really specialize in or take pride in their soba, cheap chain soba restaurants and fast food-like set meal restaurants will often have it on their menu. Chain restaurants can reuse their soups and sauces and offer a more varied menu with it. The one I photographed above even listed the 720 yen katsudon and soba set as their best selling item.Generally if katsudon is on the menu at a soba place it’ll be offered as a stand alone item or as a set with soba or udon noodles.Lucky for Midoriya and Todoroki, they can both easily get their favorite foods when grabbing a cheap bite to eat together -- source link
