A Banana Tree spokesperson said: “At Banana Tree, we celebrate bold flavour in everything we do, and we love a mash-up. Our Katsu range is one of our proudest creations, so National Katsu Day felt like the perfect moment to have some fun with our fans – and who better to celebrate than all the Kat(s) and Sue(s) out there? From curry to carbonara, this is Katsu like you’ve never tasted it before.”
