Sukiyaki


Popped to Shinjuku (our nearest big city in Tokyo) to have all-you-can-eat sukiyaki with TT. I hadn't had it for ages because I thought sukiyaki was something else! Had to go through the dodgy district of Shinjuku to get there and saw an afternoon DJ party/rave/thing. It didn't seem very popular-only about 20 people dancing.

Sukiyaki works thus: You have a saucer of broth in the middle, being heated underneath the table. You put the meat and vegetables in the broth and then you can take whatever looks cooked out of the broth. Then you dip it in a little saucer filled with raw egg and then eat it. Because the meat is really thinly sliced it cooks in under a minute. It's yummy.

  1. Ahh, i liked Shinjuku quite a bit, but you've never seemed too keen, heh.

    The meal looks really nice, and i remember really liking it too when we had it. You just keep thinking, 'oh we'll make these the last ones' and chuck some more on, as they're not too filling individually, but they do add up. Ours wasn't all you can eat tho - nice deal!
