This looks great! Thanks for sharing the recipe and the date story. That is an impressive second date meal...


This does look good. I had traditional sukiyaki a few years back and fell in love with it. Thanks for the recipe.


Back in "the day" I had to cook a Sukiyaki dish tableside as a maƮtre d'at a local restaurant. (now Im dating myself.) After seeing your photo and reading this recipe, I am embarassed to call what we were making Sukiyaki. This looks fantastic and a gorgeous presentation. I want to try this one for sure... Thanks... Jim


It always makes me happy when people try something new, supposedly it also keep your brain from aging (new studies)! This particular recipe looks harder than it really is. With Japanese food the prep is all the work. Cooking usually takes less than 15 mins.


This does sound delicious. You are so right about the preparing to cook but it is well worth it! I enjoy cooking some of the Japanese food and will do this one.


Wow this is a great dish ,with a wonderful story behind it, 36 years! congratulations :)


I love this, I've never tried it in the traditional way but this looks excellent. How do you get your beef sliced so thin?
