In Japan, sukiyaki is one of the most famous pot foods. People usually consume this hot pot in the winter (November through January). Beef, tofu, vegetables such as hakusai Chinese cabbage, and udon noodles are the primary ingredients in sukiyaki. Because it includes soy sauce, sugar, & mirin rice wine, the broth has a salty-sweet flavor (similar to teriyaki). The method people consume sukiyaki is unique in that they frequently dip the components in raw eggs before eating. In Japan, we consume raw (uncooked) eggs. (I previously published an article on a Japanese tradition of eating raw eggs.) 

In this article, I’m writing about the Japanese delicacy sukiyaki. On the other hand, sukiyaki is the name of a famous Japanese song by Kyu Sakamoto. In the 1960s, this folk song became famous in nations such as the United States. However, the song’s substance has nothing to do with sukiyaki as a cuisine. Indeed, the Japanese title is “Ue o Muite Aruko,” which translates to “I Look Up as I Walk.”
