It is used frequently as a topping on sushi with tempura and okonomiyaki. The soup that you are referring to was indeed miso. The term Japanese steakhouse is not at all ridiculous either since these are popular in Japan as well. Stop being so pretentious by pretending that you know what you are talking about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32088910.post-34194480616109991642008-08-24T08:04:00.000-05:002008-08-24T08:04:00.000-05:00JAPANESE YUM YUM SAUCE1 cup mayonnaise3 tablespoon...JAPANESE YUM YUM SAUCE<BR/><BR/>1 cup mayonnaise<BR/>3 tablespoons white sugar<BR/>3 tablespoons rice vinegar<BR/>2 tablespoons melted butter<BR/>3/4 teaspoon paprika<BR/>3/8 teaspoon garlic powder<BR/><BR/>In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, white sugar, rice vinegar, melted<BR/>butter, paprika and garlic powder.

Genji just happens to be the birthday place for my family of adults. And as an owner of an eating establishment, there are a lot of you white people thata don't leave a tip while your children mess up the place. The soup isn't beef at all, it's onion based.

Have you been to an American restaurant in other countries? I promise you that the food is always at least a little bit altered to suit the local taste. <BR/><BR/>I love yum yum sauce and couldn't give a flying flip if it is authentic or not. :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947323278099573118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32088910.post-63572872123696489462008-03-05T19:12:00.000-05:002008-03-05T19:12:00.000-05:00I was there at Genji too.

About the yum-yum, I've asked about the ingredients--it's definitely a secret since the secret service servers don't know either. I brought in a party of 5 and there was a party of four. They actually put automatic gratuity on our bill, but I gave them more since it was only 15%. I mean, who the hell still has a 15% gratuity?? It's more like 18/20% now MINIMUM! Anyway, I've observed my dinner neighbors and they didn't any grat. The servers said they frequently have customers like this. "This" meaning black/african americans. That is messed up. I've been a server in restaurants b4, "they" just either don't know how to tip (I doubt) or they deliberately don't tip. You friggin' go to eat and get served. It ain't no buffet! Tip those pour souls! <BR/>I know I did the right thing and tip 30%...but that probably didn't cover the other guest's tip amt...<BR/><BR/>Tips get shared by all people it seems. Not sure how much to each, but servers get like 5.2% (weird number)??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32088910.post-22919414336257301682007-07-17T09:49:00.000-05:002007-07-17T09:49:00.000-05:00This is hilarious.I could imagine the first people...This is hilarious.<BR/><BR/>I could imagine the first people using ketchup.

They bring you plates of thin slices of raw beef and veggies to cook on the grill that's on top of your table. And there's no mayo in sight! Just a lemon sauce and a delicious soy-teriyaki sauce. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a fan of Japanese mayo, but it's just my taste preference. I find both their mayo and ketchup to be too sweet for my taste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32088910.post-59877246966645194912007-05-23T14:17:00.000-05:002007-05-23T14:17:00.000-05:00I actually use Japanese mayo, especially when I ma...I actually use Japanese mayo, especially when I make maki-sushi.

Also, the soup you are talking about probably does not contain any beef. It is probably miso. Maybe you should try something other than a Japanese steakhouse and go to an actual Japanese restaurant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32088910.post-9006280273408607842007-05-19T11:38:00.000-05:002007-05-19T11:38:00.000-05:00I agree with you too!
