すき焼き is a popular Japanese dish that consists of thinly sliced beef cooked in a shallow iron pot. The beef is typically simmered with a variety of ingredients, including vegetables like negi (green onions), shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. The dish is often flavored with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, giving it a sweet and savory taste. Traditionally, sukiyaki is prepared at the table, allowing diners to cook their own ingredients. It is commonly enjoyed with a raw egg for dipping, which adds richness to the dish. Sukiyaki is often served during special occasions and gatherings, making it a beloved comfort food in Japan.
