Japanese Beef Bowl (Gyudon) is a classic Japanese dish known for its tender slices of beef and a savory-sweet sauce. This time, I am sharing a sauce recipe that comes from a century-old traditional secret. The balance of sweet and salty flavors perfectly captures the authentic taste. By following the recipe, you can easily create a dish that rivals those found in Japanese restaurants. Pour the beef along with the sauce over steaming hot rice, and top it off with a raw egg yolk or onsen tamago (hot spring egg) for an absolutely delicious experience. Whether it's a busy workday or a leisurely weekend, this simple and quick Gyudon will allow you to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors at home.

Tips and notes
1- Butter and garlic are my personal additions, which enhance the flavor. However, in traditional preparation, these two ingredients are not used. For a traditional taste, you can omit them
2- In this traditional sauce recipe, the level of saltiness may vary depending on personal taste. After adding the water into the sauce mixture, you can taste and adjust the seasoning. If it's too salty, you can add more water and sugar.
