Yesterday was Father’s Day, and my family and I went out to have one of our favorite meals, yakiniku, or Korean BBQ. This is roughly similar to Americans going out for Chinese in that it’s an ostensibly ethnic food that’s so familiar and non-threatening anyone can enjoy it. At the yakiniku restaurant you order plates of different kinds of meat and vegetables, then everyone cooks it on a large grill in the center of the table, adding meat, turning it over and grabbing what they want to eat. Korean BBQ is interesting because it brings out different personality types. Some — people with type B blood, I’ve heard, though take that with a grain of salt — will attempt to cordon off a part of the grill as their personal space and horde pieces of meat inside, while others, my wife included, lose out on most of the food because they’re so busy cooking for others. There’s one difference between yakiniku in Japan and the Korean BBQ you’re likely to find in Korea or in your home country: the Japanese dip the meat in a delicious tangy sauce before eating it, something Koreans don’t do (they are really missing out). Because we sell so many unique Japanese flavorings on our site, we decided to start selling this delicious yakiniku sauce, which is great on steaks or any other kind of meat. We hope you’ll give it a try! Oh, and if you want to try some Yakiniku right now, here’s a great website for you: Air Yakiniku, Warning, it will make you hungry.
Korean BBQ is one of my favorite meals.
