Today, I went out to handle affairs. After finishing, it was already 2 pm. Remembering that I hadn’t had lunch yet, I saw a Japanese restaurant nearby. There was a sign at the door saying mini sukiyaki pot for 58 yuan. I was very interested and immediately went in to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was still open at 2 pm. The waiter immediately greeted me and said that the chef was there and I could have a meal. So I sat down.

[Gourmet Food]
#Homemade pickles# A bit spicy and a bit salty.
#Vegetable salad# Composed of lettuce, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, large walnut kernels, seaweed, potato chips, etc. The salad dressing has a strong flavor and is refreshing. After eating a lot of meat dishes, having a plate of this is very refreshing.
#Chicken and scallion skewers# Pick up a skewer and eat it. It has a chewy and charred feeling. The chicken is fragrant.
#Taiwanese cuttlefish sausage# The large white fish can be seen. Eat a skewer. The edge is yellowish-brown. The fish is elastic. Chew slowly and it is full of charred fragrance.
#Mini sukiyaki + udon noodles# The essence of Japanese sukiyaki lies in that every time you rinse a certain ingredient, the taste of the soup base will absorb the essence of the rinsed ingredient and change its taste once. The soup base served at the beginning is the most bland and tasteless. When you rinse vegetables once, you will find that the soup base becomes much sweeter. Because the soup base fully absorbs the juice of vegetables. At this time, you can put meat in and rinse. Generally, snowflake beef is the most recommended meat. After rinsing the snowflake beef, then rinse udon noodles so that it can absorb the taste of the soup.The cooked beef dipped in Asahi eggs is extremely tender. The ‘Single Person Grilled Meat Five Flavor Platter’ consists of thick-cut beef tongue, beef rib steak, Kalbi beef, premium beef short ribs, and Australian Wagyu beef. For those with a small appetite, this mini sukiyaki is a great choice for two people. Visiting the restaurant at 2 pm, the dining area was nearly empty with only two other tables occupied. The grilled meat is prepared by the kitchen to medium doneness and served on a small heating device, allowing you to enjoy it after just one minute of additional grilling. Overcooking is not recommended, as it may toughen the meat. The ‘Black Sesame Ice Cream’, with its unassuming appearance, piques one’s curiosity. The rich aroma of sesame and its sweet yet not overly rich flavor have given me a delightful surprise.
