Hello, how are you all doing? Here we will introduce delicious food from Japan.
【history】
Sukiyaki is a representative Japanese hot pot dish said to have originated in the Meiji era. Before that time, eating meat was not very common in Japan, but with the modernization of society, beef dishes became popular, and the current style of sukiyaki developed from “gyunabe” (beef hot pot).
Initially, it was a “high-class dish” served in restaurants in urban areas, but gradually it spread to homes and became established as a “special meal for special occasions” such as New Year’s or celebrations.
【characteristic】
Sukiyaki is a uniquely Japanese hot pot dish where beef and vegetables are simmered in a sweet and savory sauce called warishita (or simply with sugar and soy sauce).
１．Sweet and savory flavor: A rich taste made with ingredients like soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.
２．Umami of beef: The fat and flavor released from thinly sliced beef permeates all the ingredients.
３．Balance of ingredients: Common components include green onions, garland chrysanthemum, shirataki noodles, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms.
４．Style of eating dipped in raw egg: This makes the flavor milder and gives sukiyaki its distinctive taste.
５．It’s often seen as a symbol of gathering, where family and friends gather around the pot, and it can be described as a dish that brings both a sense of specialness and comfort.
