Sukiyaki
Sukiyaki is a traditional Japanese dish that consists of thinly sliced beef, tofu, vegetables, and other ingredients simmered in a sweet and savory broth. It is typically prepared and served in a shallow iron pot and enjoyed communally at the table. Sukiyaki is a popular dish, especially during the colder months, and is often associated with social gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
The main ingredients of sukiyaki include:
- Thinly sliced beef
- Tofu
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Enoki mushrooms
- Napa cabbage
- Green onions
- Shirataki noodles
- Konnyaku
- Soy sauce
- Mirin

Preparation
Sukiyaki is typically prepared in a shallow iron pot, known as a nabe. The pot is placed on a portable stove at the dining table, allowing diners to cook and eat the ingredients as they prefer. The broth is made by combining soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake, creating a sweet and savory flavor profile.
The beef is usually the first ingredient to be cooked, as it cooks quickly and adds flavor to the broth. Once the beef is partially cooked, the other ingredients are added to the pot. Diners can then pick out their preferred ingredients and dip them in a raw beaten egg before eating, which adds a rich and creamy texture to the dish.
Regional Variations
There are regional variations of sukiyaki in Japan, with the two most notable styles being the Kanto and Kansai styles.
- Kanto Style: In the Kanto region, the broth is prepared first, and the ingredients are simmered together in the broth.
- Kansai Style: In the Kansai region, the beef is first grilled in the pot, and then the other ingredients are added along with the broth.
Cultural Significance
Sukiyaki holds a special place in Japanese culture and is often associated with family gatherings and special occasions. It is a dish that encourages communal dining and sharing, reflecting the importance of togetherness in Japanese society.
