Wagyu Sukiyaki 極~ Goku~ 浅草 Asakusa Sensoji Temple - Awesome, Unique Experience

When I think of Sukiyaki, I immediately think of hot pot due to the common practice of grouping Sukiyaki with Shabu Shabu together in Singapore. My bad. So I’m so glad to dine at Goku to truly experience the real deal because it is an awesome experience.

I’m totally blown away by how good Sukiyaki can taste and how different the taste is from other types of Japanese cuisine. This is a must-try experience.

The ingredients are cooked in a shallow pot, half-filled with sweet soy-based sauce. So the cooking method is like simmering with a bit grilling, bringing on a new dimension in the taste of the food. The vegetables are so fresh and carry their own natural sweetness, and after cooked to slightly softer texture and soaked in the goodness of the sauce, they are so good that I finish them up 


I love the unique sukiyaki experience where the thin slices of premium meat are being grilled in front of patrons and then mix with raw egg for savouring. The result is a lovely medley of creaminess and meatiness. The beef is so incredibly creamy and delicious that I go "wow" at first bite.


Rice mixed with truffle (freshly shaved by the staff right in front of us 👍) and raw egg is absolutely a delight to savour. Earthy, creamy, perfect.





Thoughts: Creamily Awesome Wagyu!
