Asian Bar-B-Q

In most countries, Bar-B-Q means meat, but in different places, the seasoning, the type of meat, and the way to eat is completely opposite. A couple of days ago, I ate at a restaurant called Gye-Maku, which means cow in Japanese. It is a very big music with friendly servers and great food that you have to cook yourself (Japanese Bar-B-Q). That time, I ate the limited Kobe beef (not the basketball player Kobe). Kobe is a more expensive and exclusive cow, where they are fed beer and massaged everyday. Gye-Maku only sells 20 dishes per day, but it's very unlikely for it to run out. It's a very small proportion but it comes with rice, miso soup, and a big salad. When the time for cooking comes, I recommend to do it quickly and cook all of them in two times because the heat from the stove gets in your face and is very uncomfortable. i have to say, the meat was a little to hard for me. It took me 2 minutes to eat one piece. Other wise, everything else was pretty good. If that doesn't sound enough for you, they also have appetizers at 50% off, of you could get the all you can eat meal starting at roughly $12.
A couple of weeks ago, my family and I went to my dad's friend's house for dinner. We had Korean Bar-B-Q which is about the same thing, but with green onion salad, daikon, rice paper, miso paste, chili sauce, garlic, and a salt and pepper sauce. This is how I eat it:

1. Cook the meat
2. Dip the meat in the sauce
3. Get the daikon and put it on top of the rice paper
4. Put the meat on top of the rice paper and daikon and add garlic
5. Enjoy!!!

Most of the time we eat this when we go to their house because everyone can have fun!
