SAVOR JAPAN -Japanese Restaurant Guide-

Sushi is so famous that many foreigners probably think Japanese only eat fish. But meat is extremely popular throughout Japan, especially among the younger generation. Yakiniku (grilled meat), for example, is a perennial favorite. The dish originated in Korea, where it is typically made from short beef ribs or thick slices of pork - unlike the Japanese version that is thinly sliced like sashimi. In both countries, the sauce is usually thick and flavorful. But higher-end Japanese restaurants use marbled Japanese beef served with nothing more than natural sea salt, soy sauce, ponzu (citrus sauce) or wasabi. This simple preparation reflects the Japanese preference for savoring the natural essence of the ingredients themselves. Discover the essence of Japanese cooking in Yakiniku!
