Yoshinoya's Winter Staple 'Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen' is 100 Yen Off!

Speaking of Yoshinoya's 'Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen,' it's a winter staple. This year marks its 14th anniversary.

It's steaming as it cooks right in front of you.

While serving hot pot on a tabletop stove is no longer uncommon, it was groundbreaking when Yoshinoya launched the 'Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen' in 2013. It was a pioneer in popularizing individual hot pots at gyudon chains. With plenty of vegetables and even noodles, it's incredibly satisfying. Riezo, familiar from ASCII's 'Donburi Channel,' loves the 'Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen' so much that she calls it her 'winter boyfriend' and repeats it every year (lol).

Until 3:00 PM on November 24th.

This 'Gyu-Suki Festival' runs until 3:00 PM on November 24th. In addition to the Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen, the Double Meat option, the Gyu-Suki Nabe (a la carte), and family packs are also 100 yen off.

What's more, rice refills and larger portions are free for dine-in customers. This is great news! (Examples of eligible products) ・Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen: 899 yen → 799 yen ・Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen Double Meat: 1226 yen → 1126 yen ・Gyu-Suki Nabe (a la carte): 789 yen → 689 yen

Since I Saved 100 Yen, I Tried Adding 'Cheese'!

A 100-yen discount is quite significant, isn't it?

How about this?

So, Nabeko, since I had the chance, I decided to try an arrangement I'd been curious about for a while.

I added the side menu item 'Quattro Cheese' (162 yen), turning it into 'Chee-Gyu-Suki' instead of the usual 'Chee-Gyu' (cheese gyudon)!

While putting cheese on gyudon is common, adding cheese to sukiyaki isn't something you see very often, is it?

'Quattro Cheese' (162 yen)

Since Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen can be eaten while simmering on a tabletop stove, wouldn't the cheese get piping hot and melty?

I put it in!

I added cheese to the generously portioned hot pot, which contains beef, vegetables like napa cabbage, onions, long green onions, carrots, and pea shoots, as well as tofu and noodles.

After a while, just as intended, the cheese melted into a gooey consistency. When I lifted the meat, the cheese stretched out in long strings. Oh, this is exciting!

The richness of the cheese added to the beef was quite nice. It wasn't bad even when dipped in the beaten egg.

Even with the beaten egg.

However, it wasn't as 'cheesy! cheesy!' as I had imagined.

This is because the Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen has a lot of broth, so the cheese seemed to melt and blend into the whole dish. Since the sukiyaki-style sweet and savory sauce already has a strong flavor, the cheese might have had a slightly weaker presence.

Nevertheless, the added richness of the cheese made me eat more rice! I also tried adding beni shoga (red pickled ginger) for a nice contrast, which I enjoyed. It also made me want to drink a lot of water (lol).

It was delicious.

While it wasn't as cheesy as I had imagined, I'm satisfied that I got to try the arrangement I was curious about.

Why Not Indulge a Little with the 100-Yen Discount?

So, Yoshinoya's 'Gyu-Suki Festival' runs until 3:00 PM on November 24th.

With this opportunity to save 100 yen, why not enjoy a small luxury by adding toppings to your usual Gyu-Suki Nabe-Zen or opting for the Double Meat portion?

Next time, Nabeko might just add some tororo (grated yam)!
