The riddle asks, “What’s the meat dish that everyone likes?” 鋤焼ã (Sukiyaki) is a traditional Japanese dish combining the words for “spade” (as in for gardening) and “cook.” It seems that this name originated from the Edo period practice of cooking fish or tofu (or meat if it was available, I suppose) on the metal part of a spade instead of in a pot.
Though 「ã™ãã€means “spade” in this case, it can also mean “to like.” Hence it’s the meat dish that everyone likes.

Though the weather is just beginning to cool down, you may still be in the mood for some cool noodle dishes. This is one of my favourites – it has a delicious sesame sauce and lots of fresh ingredients, which is perfect for a summer night.
