An Autumn Tradition Arrives at Yoshinoya! The Tsukimi Season Is Here Again
Still remembering how delicious it was in previous years, I rushed to Yoshinoya as soon as I heard the sales had started again. Seeing Tsukimi (moon-viewing) menus pop up everywhere really makes you feel the quick arrival of autumn. As I placed my order using the tablet at the table, my excitement grew, knowing I was about to enjoy this seasonal specialty once again.
Tasting the "Tsukimi Gyutoji Gozen" (798 Yen Incl. Tax)! A Harmony of Sweet-Savory Sauce and Egg
Arriving at my table was the "Tsukimi Gyutoji Gozen" (798 yen incl. tax), served in a dedicated personal hot pot. Tender beef simmered gently with fluffy egg is topped with fresh green onions, accompanied by an extra raw egg on the side—a luxurious "double egg" combination.
With the very first bite, the sweet-savory special sauce thoroughly infused into the beef and onions bursts with rich umami. The tender, mellow egg gently wraps around the flavorful sauce, making it impossible not to crave more steamed white rice.
This time, I enjoyed savoring the balance between the main dish and rice in a traditional set-meal style. However, using the provided spoon to scoop the toppings and savory broth over the rice for a hearty rice-bowl style would be equally delicious.
[Summary] The Perfect Set Meal to Savor the Flavors of Autumn
The "Tsukimi Gyutoji Gozen" delivers an outstanding harmony of rich, savory-sweet beef and mellow egg. Whether enjoyed gracefully as a classic set meal or scooped generously over rice like a bowl, it is a deeply satisfying dish. If you are looking to enjoy the flavors of the season, be sure to visit Yoshinoya and give it a try!
