I had lunch with a friend of mine and tried sukiyaki. I ordered Kobe chuck beef with raw egg. The meal came with plate of vegetables, sauce, condiments and rice.
The server explained the steps and started the preparation for me (excellent service!). The aroma of sesame oil, garlic, scallions, and chili cooking on the skillet was amazing!!
When the sukiyaki sauce was added, and when it started to sizzle, I knew this was going to be special. I added the beef and cooked for couple of seconds (as instructed before) and took a bite. I have to say I love Japanese food, but I had never had a flavor like this before. Beef was tender, and it soaked up the sauce from the skillet just perfectly. The egg added perfect texture and flavor to sukiyaki. I really loved the experience. It was fun, interactive and delicious! I will definitely be coming back!!
