...you've never been able to try gyudon?

That Gyudon must have tasted incredible

Gyudon is pretty easy to make yourself. This recipe comes extremely close to the kind you get at Yoshinoya: https://www.justonecookbook.com/yoshinoya-beef-bowl-gyudon/

Huh, I swear I saw a similar premise of boxing, losing, and gyudon (I guess becuase of the victory tradition related to it). Was it perhaps on midnight dinner? Hmm

It was Katsudon there, not Gyuudon.
"Katsu" (breaded meat cutlet) is also the pronunciation of 勝 ("winning/victory"), so the trope of eating katsudon either to wish for a win, or to celebrate a win happens in various manga titles.

Katsudon usually uses pork, but technically speaking I think it can be any meat? I've seen chicken and beef katsu in recipes.

Oh yeah, that was it! Thanks for the refresher, I just knew I didn't imagine it and had read something similar before hehe

No problem, I happen to read that series too!

To the translator: I have to join the people who are encouraging you to taste gyuudon. It's quite simple to make and even easier in a rice cooker. In fact I am having some right now, ehehe. Oh, and if you do visit Japan do eat in some of the popular franchises like sukiya, yoshinoya and so on, they are quite cheap and have a lot of options.
