History
↓↓
Sukiyaki originated in Japan during the late Edo period (1603–1868). Initially, Japanese people avoided eating beef for religious reasons, but after the Meiji period (1868–1912), when meat consumption became more common, beef dishes like sukiyaki gained popularity. The dish was often cooked at the table in shallow iron pots, allowing diners to enjoy both the cooking process and the meal together.
Today, sukiyaki is a beloved traditional Japanese dish, especially eaten during special occasions and winter, and it is famous worldwide as part of Japanese cuisine.
