Sukiyaki Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan
Sukiyaki is one of popular hotpot dishes in Japan.
The main ingredients are thinly sliced beef, tofu, starch noodles, and some vegetables.
It is simmered in a shallow iron pot with sweetened soy sauce.
The ingredients are dipped in the raw beaten egg, and you eat it.
Asakusa has the famous Sukiyaki restaurant, named "ASAKUSA IMAHAN".
In Edo era,
the beef was a special gift dedicated to the Shogun (the general).
As a health remedy to promote well being and vitality,
it was served exclusively to the privileged class.
When Meiji era came,
Asakusa , as the foremost entertainment district, was loved by many people.
Then, the founder of ASAKUSA IMAHAN paid attention to the potential of beef.
That's the year 1895, which means it has been more than a century since it set up as the beef cuisine.
Actually, ASAKUSA IMAHAN is pretty expensive.
Most of the menus are around 10,000 yen.
Thus, I recommend "Orange-street Branch Special Sukiyaki Meal Set".
It's 3,990 yen.
They have two branches : Orange-street Branch, and Kokusai-street Branch.
This one is only in Orange-street Branch.
