Yakiniku

Yakiniku is a Japanese term that translates to “grilled meat.” It refers to a style of cooking and dining where various types of meat, particularly beef, as well as vegetables, are grilled on gridirons or griddles. The meats used in yakiniku are often marinated or seasoned, and diners may cook their food at the table using small charcoal grills or gas stoves. Yakiniku is popular in Japan and can also include various dipping sauces, such as tare or shoyus, to enhance the flavor of the grilled items. It has become a social dining experience, where sharing and cooking together are central to the meal. The concept of yakiniku has also influenced culinary practices outside of Japan, leading to adaptations and variations in other cultures.
