Name

There is no clear theory about the etymology of "Menchi".A commonly used myth is that "mincemeat katsuretsu" is a composite of mince (ground meat) meat (meat) cutlet (originating from the French cotelette).JapanglishLater, in the process of omitting "mincemeat katsuretsu", the theory that "mince" changed to "menchi" and became "menchi-katsu" is widespread.However, there is no literature to support it, and the name has changed too much.

There is also a theory that when the Miwaya Butcher Shop devised this dish in the early Showa period, it was named "Minchi-katsu".

In western Japan, mainly in the Kinki region, minced meat is more often called minced meat or minced meat than in eastern Japan, so the cutlet made from minced meat is now called "minced cutlet" as it is.^[5][6]..In Osaka, many people think, "It's a cutlet of minced meat, but it's a swearing thing to call it'menthi'."^[7]..As a background that the name "Menchi-katsu" is not used in the Kinki regionKinki dialectThere is a myth that he avoided homophone collisions because there is an expression "cutting the menchi (= glaring)", but this is just a joke made later.^[5].
