焼き肉 (yakiniku) is a popular Japanese style of cooking that involves grilling bite-sized pieces of meat, usually beef, over a charcoal or gas grill. Diners often cook the meat themselves at the table, allowing for a fun and interactive dining experience. Various cuts of meat, including ribeye and sirloin, are commonly used, along with vegetables and dipping sauces. In addition to meat, 焼き肉 restaurants often serve side dishes like rice, salads, and pickled vegetables. The meal is typically enjoyed with ビール (beer) or 日本酒 (sake), enhancing the flavors of the grilled food. This communal style of eating makes 焼き肉 a favorite choice for gatherings and celebrations.
