Yakiniku is a Japanese style of cooking that involves grilling bite-sized pieces of meat (typically beef) over a charcoal or gas grill. The term "yakiniku" literally means "grilled meat" in Japanese, and it has become a popular dining style in Japan as well as internationally. Yakiniku is often served with a variety of dipping sauces, side dishes, and vegetables, creating a rich, flavorful meal that's both interactive and social. Yakiniku has evolved over time from a traditional Japanese dish to a global dining trend, often enjoyed in social settings and perfect for group meals. The experience of grilling your own meat at the table and customizing flavors with tare sauces and various condiments makes it a unique and flavorful dining option.
