- Japanese food abroad is always enticing. During a domestic transfer at Manila Airport, I tried sukiyaki don. Though it looked good, the meat was crumbly, the carrots gritty, and the rice dry. Yet, I finished it quickly, captivated by a mysterious charm. Why? The sauce was authentically delicious! A single superb element transformed the dish, much like life.

- Sukiyaki is a classic Japanese hot pot dish characterized by its sweet and savory flavors, featuring beef, tofu, and vegetables. This dish is sometimes served in a bowl and is popular overseas as part of Japanese culinary culture. Sukiyaki has a long history, with records of similar dishes being consumed during the Edo period, and it evolved to include beef in the Meiji era. The sauce, made with soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, enhances the flavors of the meat and vegetables, and the author of the article seems equally captivated by this sauce. Perhaps special attention was given to the sauce when preparing the dish in the airport food court. As they finished the sukiyaki bowl, which blends a variety of experiences much like life itself, the author might have realized that the sauce is crucial, just like in life. Next time, it would be nice if they delved more into how the rice is cooked, but it seems the author of this blog remains a culinary explorer covering up with their writing sauce, failing to consider improvements, much like a deliberate perpetrator of extreme flavors.
