Yakiniku

Japanese yakiniku is a type of food that originated from Korean barbecue. Korean barbecue is very popular in Korea. Korean barbecue is basically a type of restaurant where you cook your own food. There is a built-in gas or charcoal grill at the middle of each table. Some Korean restaurants do not have built-in grills so they provide portable stoves to use at their tables. There are many different types of meat grilled. A lot of the meat is already marinated, customers cook it the way they want the meat to be cooked.

In Japan yakiniku is very similar to Korean barbecue. You get various cuts of meat and cook them yourself on a grill. The more delicious or rare the cut of meat, the more expensive it is. In some yakiniku, you pay by the plate or orders of meat. Some have set fees where you pay one fee at the front and it’s all you can eat. These places usually have lots of cheaper meat, but it’s still very delicious. At the all you can eat places, you can order different meats from a menu and pay for them separately. 

I went to a yakiniku place on my Japan trip. We paid a set fee, and it was all you can eat in 90 minutes. The grills were charcoal grills with small grates on top of them. They were very hot, and the meat we were given was thin so it cooked very quickly. There was unlimited drinks, all you had to do was go out of your little room and go up to the drink machines.
