Is it okay to store sandwich (tonkatsu sandwich) in a container?
i'm thinking of making sandwiches at home and bringing them to the office. Is that okay? I mean, does tonkatsu sandwich have to be hot or warm before it should be eaten? I'm thinking of selling this at our office.
Best Answer
As long as the tonkatsu is cooked and then cooled appropriately (ie relatively quickly), then stored at appropriate temperatures (ie refrigerated) until consumption, you should be fine. The length of your journey to work will be the main factor - you need to keep the food cool enough, so a cool bag with ice blocks may be in order. Then you need to make sure they remain cool until they are consumed. Whether or not they should be reheated is probably a matter of taste.
Also, check your local regulations for selling food for public consumption. It will vary from country to country, but many places will require a kitchen inspection and permit before you can legally sell food.

After I deep fry and let it cool down completely, I pack these mini ones into small individual airtight containers like these (You can purchase at your local Daiso store). Or wrap individual portion with plastic wrap and put them in a Ziploc bag. You can keep these Chicken Katsu in the freezer for 3 weeks at most.How do you store tonkatsu in the fridge?

You'll readily encounter in katsu sando in Japan - in konbini (convenience stores), bakeries, supermarkets and department store food halls. Katsu sando are always served cold or at room temperature, so the cutlet inside is not hot. Storebought tonkatsu sandwiches vary a lot in quality.How do you reheat a katsu sandwich?
