Getting Started
Sukiyaki involves cooking fresh veggies and meat right at the table, with a bit of sauce and water. One specialty to the Kyoto style is to sprinkle a bit of special sugar (some kind of large-grain coarse white sugar) into the pan, which both adds a bit of sweetness and prevents the meat from burning.

The meal looked fantastic, but my legs fell asleep just looking at the photos of how everyone was sitting. I know it’s a lifetime’s habit, but yikes! My knees and hips would crack so loud the people in the next room would be expecting a popcorn course.
There were chairs… you could sit cross-legged and lean back and relax, if you wanted, as Fumie’s dad and I did the whole time. —Jeffrey
