Sukiyaki
A Japanese dish that is generally served during winter and is prepared in nabemono (jar hot pot) style. It consist of meat, usually beef, which is cooked or simmered, alongside vegetables and other ingredients, in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar and mirin. Thinly sliced beef is usually used for sukiyaki, although in the past in certain part of Japan pork was also popular. The common ingredients cooked with beef are tofu, negi (a type of scallion), leafy vegetable such as Chinese cabbage and shungiku (garland chrysanthemum leaves), mshrooms, jelly noodles made out of konnyaku corm such as ito konnyaku or shirataki noodles, and beaten eggs.

The dish sukiyaki is commonly found at Bōnenkai, a Japanese year-end party. But nowadays, it is also served in other countries like Philippines since there are now may restaurants there like Japanese, Chinese, or Korean Restaurants. And one of the Japanese Restaurants in the Philippines that is serving sukiyaki was Ome-Ya Restaurant.

A group of six people from the third-year Education students of Cavite-State University – Bacoor City Campus went to the Ome-Ya Restaurant and tried their sukiyaki. Inside the restaurant, while they are waiting for the sukiyaki, they are just taking some pictures and having chitchat with each other. After a while, the crew started to arrange the plates and utensils in the table then the sukiyaki was served.

It can be seen in the picture that they are enjoying the food because sukiyaki tastes sweet  and the other ingredients balances the amount of food that you may eat because you will have the feeling of jadedness when you eat a lot. Overall sukiyaki not just tastes good but it also has a lot of nutrients that can give because of the vegetables and also the beef.
