Sukiyaki




Our friends, Shig and Shurei had us over on Sunday night to check out their new apartment near Shinjuku. They surprised us with a home cooked sukiyaki dinner. Sukiyaki is a Japanese meal using an oversized pot to cook thinly sliced steak, veggies and tofu in a savory broth. You cook the food bit by bit as you eat it. With your chopsticks, you take your piece of meat or vegetable, dip it in your very own bowl of raw egg, and then stick it in your mouth. This was our first sukiyaki experience. The raw egg step was a little funny at first, but the food tasted great.
