Ruyuriya has been a staple in Japan for 13 years, famous for their 101 different varieties of hotpot.

🍲SUKIYAKI: There are two ways to eat sukiyaki →
1. Dipping Sukiyaki: First lite the stove with the pan on it, placing the beef fat in the hot pan and continuing to move it around. Remove the beef fat and add tiny sugar cubes. Then pour in the mixture of soy sauce, cooking alcohol and sugar, mixing everything together. Poach the beef in the pan, allowing it to absorb the sauce. Finally, dip the beef into a raw egg and then eat!

2. Sukiyaki Hotpot: Begin by pouring in the mixture of soy sauce soup, then add sugar, onion, leaks, tofu, radish, konnyaku (konjac jelly), scallion, shitaki mushroom, enoki mushroom, tungho and wagyu beef. Mix it all together and enjoy!

🥩SHABU SHABU: This beef dish comes from Matsusaka, Japan, a region known for their high-quality beef that has a high fat-to-meat ratio. Typically, this meat is served with sides of soy sauce and vinegar or sashimi sauce. The beef is often poached in boiled water for 5-10 seconds before being dipped into the sauce and eaten.

[nickandhelmi]

Japanese got the best beef in the world. Regardless whatever the grade, they taste so good, literally melt in your mouth. Well, no meat can beat A5 though haha.. We tried Hida Beef in Takayama street food and literally can go back to Japan just to eat wagyu :)

[medicaldoll]

I see a lot of comments about the girl, but I’ve loved every guide/co-host so far! I think it gives a more authentic feel when they’re not a native English speaker.

[peterwho]

Shizuka always makes the show 2X better, well the Wagyu too!
