Cultural note

Yakiniku came to Japan through Korean cooking. At a 焼肉屋(やきにくや), diners grill raw slices of meat themselves at the table, then dip them in タレ (a sweet soy-based sauce) or eat them with salt and lemon. Standard orders include カルビ (short rib), ロース (loin), タン (tongue), ハラミ (skirt steak), and ホルモン (offal). 焼肉(やきにく)食(た)べ放題(ほうだい) (all-you-can-eat yakiniku) restaurants are popular with students and groups.
