Sukiyaki don brings the deep, sweet-savoury comfort of a Japanese hot pot into a single satisfying rice bowl, and at Sushijiro Catering we simmer thin slices of tender beef in our house sukiyaki sauce before spooning them over warm Japanese rice. It is the donburi for guests who want something rich and warming, and it has become a standout main on our catering menus across Singapore.
What sukiyaki don is
Sukiyaki is a classic Japanese dish of thinly sliced beef and vegetables simmered in a glossy sauce of soy, mirin and sugar. As a donburi, that braise is served over a bowl of rice so every grain drinks up the umami-rich, gently sweet sauce. The beef turns meltingly tender, the onions sweeten as they cook, and the whole bowl is savoury, comforting and deeply satisfying.
How our sukiyaki don is made
We use thinly sliced beef simmered with sweet onion in a balanced sauce of soy, mirin, sake and a touch of sugar — the traditional sukiyaki profile — cooked just until the meat is silky and the onions are soft. It is layered over warm seasoned Japanese rice and finished to order in our central kitchen, where our Japanese culinary team draws on its omakase heritage. As with everything we serve, it is strictly No Pork, No Lard.

How we serve sukiyaki don for catering
This bowl is portioned per guest, making it a clean, generous option for islandwide delivery to offices, homes and events. It is a signature of our donburi rice bowls range and a hearty upgrade within bento catering sets, with each person receiving a complete bowl. For team lunches and functions, our corporate Japanese catering team can fold it into a larger programme. We recommend 1–2 days lead time, with same-day orders subject to capacity.
What to pair with sukiyaki don
Because sukiyaki don is rich, pair it with bright, light sides. A wakame seaweed salad and a bowl of miso soup balance the sweetness, while tamago sushi or gyoza add variety. For bigger gatherings, serve it alongside a Japanese buffet so guests can build their own plate.
