Founded in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Sukiya is part of Zensho Holdings and is known for its slogan “save time and money.” The chain distinguishes itself by serving gyūdon even during the ban on American beef imports by sourcing beef from Australia and also offers a variety of other dishes, including a pork bowl variant called tondon​.

“Takana mentaiko mayo beef bowl.” It’s a dish that combines gyudon (beef bowl) with takana (pickled mustard greens), mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and mayonnaise. This combination offers a rich blend of flavors—salty and spicy from the mentaiko, tangy from the takana, creamy from the mayonnaise, all complementing the savory beef and rice. It’s a modern twist on the traditional gyudon, adding texture and depth with the unique flavors of each topping.
