Gyudon is characterized by its savory-sweet flavor profile, achieved through a delicate balance of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
The primary flavors are derived from the combination of thinly sliced beef simmered in a dashi-based broth flavored with soy sauce (shoyu), sweet rice wine (mirin), and sugar. Onions contribute a mild sweetness and umami. The simmering process infuses the beef with the sauce, creating a tender and flavorful topping for the rice. Some variations may include sake or ginger for added depth.
