When you google “typical Japanese food,” these will pop up. “Sushi, tempura, yakitori, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki.” Many people know “sukiyaki.”
In Japan, for special occasion, people eat sushi or sukiyaki. Beef is still expensive meat and people eat for special occasion.
Sukiyaki uses rich sweet sauce, and I can’t eat much, but I sometimes get craving and make this small portion sukiyaki. It goes well with egg yolk. If you don’t eat raw egg yolk. Cook in the sukiyaki sauce until half cooked. It adds different flavor to sukiyaki and quite tasty.
