👉 Antipastic is a type of food that has been traditionally prepared in Japan, particularly in the Kanto area. It consists of a small piece of meat (a "katsu") cut into thin slices and then covered with a mixture of vinegar, sake, sugar, and soy sauce. The name antipastic comes from its distinctive taste, which is described as bitter and sour. This dish has been popular in Japan for centuries and is often served at festivals or special occasions.
