(32) Gyu-don (Beef over rice Bowl) of Sambo in Akihabara, Tokyo

Gyu-don (Beef over rice Bowl) of Gyudon-shop Sambo in Akihabara, Tokyo
650 yen.

The history of Gyu-don or Beef-over-rice Bowl may have a long history, I suppose.
Over 500 years ago, soldiers ate beef sauted on the spade, one of farm tools interval of war.
Of course it is different from nowadays Gyu-don, but I think it is a root of this food.

I think you can see manay Gyu-don shop all around Tokyo such as Yoshino-ya, Matsu-ya and Suki-ya.
It is casual and one of the most popular Japanese food especially for youngsters because it is cheap, fast and good.

But you may notice the beef in this bowl of these shops does not taste good for beef, which is full of fatty parts.

The Gyu-don of Sambo in Akihabara is a little different from ones of these shops around you.
It includes many parts of sarcolenma structure, or muscle fiber structure.

You will enjoy the taste of beef and also find the taste of beef fit soy sauce well.
