Gyudon

(Gyudon)

 “Gyu (Beef)” + “Don” = “Gyudon.” Seasoned and cooked beef is over the rice in the bowl this time. This is one of the Japanese traditional menus, but it became a huge hit when a franchise came to Japanese fast food market.

(“Yoshinoya” is the most popular franchise in “Gyudon” market in Japan.)

Ajinomoto-Gyudon

(Ajinomoto created frozen Gyudon.)

 Since Yoshinoya established its “Gyudon” franchise, most Japanese think of “Gyudon” as “Gyudon from Yoshinoya!” Also, “Gyudon” is the food when you are in a hurry or to go cheap. Traditionally, the Japanese cooked “Gyudon” at home. I don’t know if it is still the case in Japan now, though…
