Sukiyaki is a feast for us at home, and also a well-balanced meal. For my husband’s birthday, I used beef from Matsuki, a specialty shop in Asakusa. Along with plenty of vegetables, I added traditional ingredients such as shirataki, noodles made from konnyaku yam, and fu, a light and spongy ingredient made from wheat gluten.
