Part 3 of my foodie adventures brings me to the classic Sukiyaki. A dish served since the Edo and Meiji era of Japan, this hotpot style dish uses thinly sliced beef that is cooked in a special soy or sukiyaki sauce. Slightly sweet, it brings out the flavor and complexity of the beef.
Imahan was the obvious choice, being one of the superior restaurants for Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu, using only top quality beef. Popular amongst the locals, especially business functions, Imahan was established since 1895, well into the Meiji period when Sukiyaki became a Japanese staple. They also take great care in selecting and rearing their beef, making sure fat:meat ratios, as well as “soft and hard’ fat distribution, gives the best marbling thus dining experience.
My Imahan experience has always been consistent and delicious, be it food quality, service or ambience. With branches all over Tokyo, including the popular shopping districts of Asakusa and Shinjuku, why not come salivate and have the best beef experience ever!?
