Notes
Variations in Broth: While traditional sukiyaki broth harmoniously blends sake, mirin, and soy sauce, feel free to adjust the ratios to suit your taste preferences.
Choosing Appropriate Beef Cuts: The quality of beef is paramount. Opt for ribeye or thinly sliced sirloin for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
