Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish that consists of thin slices of beef or pork, vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, and tofu, and a sweet and savory sauce. The ingredients are cooked in a shallow iron pot and are typically served with a bowl of rice. The dish is enjoyed both in Japan and abroad, and is a popular option for hot pot style dining. The ingredients and cooking style can vary regionally within Japan, but the dish is generally known for its delicious flavor and social aspect, as diners often cook and eat the food together.
