Beef bowl (special)

Like fast food hamberger chain stores for Americans, there are beef bowl chain stores for the Japanese. The major three chains are Yoshinoya (probably the largest in Japan), Matsuya, and Nakau. I forgot where I had this in the picture, but I am sure at the one of their places in Yokohama.

The standard menu is a just beef bowl from the size of medium (Nami), large (Ohmori) or extra large (Toku-mori). The miso soup, pickels and raw egg are the sides. So having a beef bowl with sides is a kind of "Special". The shredded red things on the beef is ginger. The slightly spicy tastes of the ginger match the thin sliced marinated beef. The raw egg with a few drop of soy souce is alos poured onto the beef and mixed well. This is like Sukiyaki, which thin sliced beef dipped into raw eggs.

Well, if you like salty soy souce taste, you don't want to miss this.
