Gyudon
Gyudon is thin-sliced beef and onion simmered in a sweet-savoury broth of soy, mirin, sugar, and dashi, ladled over rice. It is the archetypal cheap, fast Japanese meal — chains like Yoshinoya and Sukiya serve it in a couple of minutes for a few hundred yen, around the clock. Common add-ons are raw or soft egg, kimchi, and grated yam. There is essentially no meat-free version at the big chains.
