I really like the rich, soothing flavors of this beefy delight. But my favorite part is that this recipe actually comes from your dear friend Yuko-san. That adds a whole extra layer of love and warmth to this amazing dish!

In reply to Eha Carr. Hi there Eha... I guess the secret Japanese pickle assessment is out... LOL Did you know at the ground floor (B1) of most large department stores in Japan that is where they have all of their delicious foods and PICKLES on display. You can trial them too. One of our favorites is pickled yuzu diakon radish. mmmmmm....

In reply to Eha Carr. What a lovely story Eha. It is so nice to look back at those fond moments. Our kids grow up so fast, don't they. One minute they are tugging on your skirt and the next minute they are off to a University. Kyoto is a very special place and THE PLACE for JAPANESE PICKLES and of course sukiyaki. We have a thing for Japanese pickles --Somewhat of an addiction. We have tested our fair share of pickled veggies all over Japan and Kyoto wins for best pickles. So if you ever find your way back to Japan, grab another delicious pot of sukiyaki and pickles and you will be one happy camper. Stay well and take care

Already commented a few months back - may I come back ! My two daughters, Siiri and Kersti, first came with us to Japan when they were just 5 and 7. We arrived from HK which they were in tears to leave. Tokyo for a week was a wee overwhelming even with my in-laws in tow, but then we had some 10 days in Kyoto (where I would love to be now !). Hillside Japanese inn where we had food prepared in the rooms and they could not overcome the joy of sleeping on the floor Oh, we had SO many of the fabulous Kyoto-style brilliant restaurants planned . . . until they were shown how to cook sukiyaki in their own room ! What do you do when you have two perfectly behaving littlies begin tugging at your skirts by about 3-4 pm, ardently looking into your eyes . . . 'Mpm, Dad, . . . . Gran'ma . . . sukiyaki PLEASE tonight . . . . hmm, next time we did not bring the young ladies and got to the Kyoto fare 🙂 ! Lesson: No [problems with vegetables if the kids can cook their own !!!!!

This looks so good and so much easier than I would have thought. When I lived in Japan I always had these deep filling noodle bowls in the winter time. There were lots of different types. Oddly some stores would have lines all the way down the street, while others had no lines at all. Missing Japan

In reply to Becky Shi. Hello Becky, thanks for stopping by with a comment. I bet you are right. Many things have been borrowed from the Chinese just like Kanji as a replacement for Chinese Traditional characters. However, one striking difference is the attention to detail in plating and presentation. We hope you give recipe a try soon. Take Care

This is very delicious. I think the original style comes from China - but many things in Japan are borrowed from the mainland. Japan dishes are so refined and delightful -- always look very good for your eyes.
