rice bowl dishes

In Japanese cuisine, there is a dish called “◯◯ don.” While sushi and ramen are well-known internationally as part of Japanese cuisine, donburi dishes are also indispensable in Japanese eating habits.

The Japanese pronunciation is “donburi mono,” which translates to “bowl dishes” in English

Donburi dishes are a type of Japanese cuisine where ingredients are served on top of rice. “don” refers to a large bowl, and typically, various types of ingredients are placed on top of rice in a bowl-shaped container.

Beef bowl (gyudon), pork cutlet bowl (katsudon), chicken and egg bowl (oyakodon), and others are as famous and familiar in Japan as ramen.

Generally, they are cooked and then placed on top of rice in a bowl, allowing for various combinations of seasoning and ingredients, providing a wide range of variations to enjoy.
