Sukiya Unveils New Spicy Beef and Tofu Hot Pot Set This December

Sukiya's New Spicy Beef and Tofu Hot Pot Set

As the cold weather settles in, Sukiya—a renowned beef bowl chain in Japan—has announced the launch of its latest seasonal hot pot dish. Starting from December 16th at 9 AM, customers can delight in the Beef and Spicy Tofu Hot Pot Set, a robust dish designed to satisfy winter cravings.

Sukiya continues to charm its patrons with this winter's hot pot offering, which boasts an exquisite mix of flavors. This time, the focus is on a spicy medley that complements rice beautifully. The new dish is crafted using a quartet of sauces: two types of Doubanjiang, sweet bean sauce (Tianmianjiang), and fermented black bean sauce (Douqizhang). This blend of ingredients results in a rich and robust broth packed with spicy goodness.

The hot pot features tender beef and a generous amount of tofu, complemented by a hearty serving of vegetables, delivering nearly half the daily recommended intake of vegetables based on Japan’s Ministry of Health guidelines. Patrons are encouraged to enhance their dish with a sprinkle of Sichuan pepper provided on the side, which adds an exciting numbing spiciness and an aromatic flair to the meal, significantly elevating the overall experience.

Additional Offerings

In conjunction with this hot pot dish, Sukiya is also introducing the Shredded Negi Beef and Spicy Tofu Hot Pot Set. This option perfectly marries the rich broth with the crunchy texture and mild spice of shredded green onions, making it a delightful choice for spice enthusiasts.

Customers have the flexibility to enjoy their hot pot dining experience in-store where they can savor it bubbling away at their table. For those preferring to dine at home, takeout options will be available as well.
