A smoky, savory meal that has captured the hearts of many, barbeque japanese or yakiniku is a dining style in which diners grill bite-sized cuts of meat and vegetables on a tabletop grill. The meat is typically seasoned with just a few light sprinkles of salt and red or sansho pepper to give the meat a slight front-end pop before being washed down by a dipping sauce or two.
The sauces may vary, but they usually comprise a blend of soy sauce, mirin, ketchup, honey, garlic paste, ginger paste, sesame oil, white or black sesame seeds and chili powder. A small amount of tomato paste is also sometimes added to help the sauce thicken up. The sauce should be strained after simmering to remove any large pieces of raw vegetable.
A grilled dessert called mitarashi dango is often served with yakiniku as well, but this is optional. While the grilled meats are the star of the show, the vegetables and dipping sauces make for a delightful culinary experience as well. The best way to enjoy yakiniku is to head to a restaurant that specializes in this cuisine, though you can easily try some of the recipes at home as well. For an authentic Japanese meal, pair your yakiniku with some sake or a chilled green tea like hojicha (roasted green tea) or genmaicha. These beverages will complement the smoky, nutty notes of the grilled meats and balance the richness of the sauces.
