A Japanese hot pot dish cooked at the table with thin beef, vegetables, tofu, and noodles simmered in a sweet soy-based broth.
From Japanese 'suki' (liking/preference) and 'yaki' (grilled/cooked). The dish became popular in Japan in the 1800s after beef became more acceptable in Japanese cuisine.
Sukiyaki represents a fascinating cultural moment—Japan traditionally avoided beef for centuries due to Buddhist influences, but sukiyaki became a way to enjoy it as a communal dining experience!
