Huh, *Looks it up* Cutlets are not traditional Japaneses cuisine.

Wiki - The cutlet was introduced to Japan during the Meiji period, in a [b]Western cuisine restaurant[/b] in the fashionable Ginza district of Tokyo. The Japanese pronunciation of cutlet is katsuretsu.

So, it is foreign food, just not unheard of :P *Looks it up further* IN fact, the oldest I can see is tied between America and Germany, so in our time setting, Cutlets may not have actually made it to Japan yet. :P *Teases* Sorry, I had to look it up.
