- Japan's three major beef bowl chains (Yoshinoya, Matsuya, and Sukiya) all currently offer a similar "Onioroshi Ponzu Gyudon" featuring grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce.
- While the taste is remarkably similar across all three chains, Sukiya uniquely serves the grated daikon and ponzu sauce on the side, allowing customers to customize the flavor.
- Matsuya's version is recommended due to its slightly lower price, offering a cost-effective option for frequent gyudon consumers.

A: Hey! Did you hear about this article on gyudon?
B: Gyudon? No, what's new? I love gyudon!

A: Apparently, someone taste-tested the onioroshi ponzu gyudon from Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and Matsuya!
B: Seriously? All three big chains have that now? I didn't know!

A: Yeah! It’s a mix of grated daikon radish – they call it "onioroshi" because the grater looks like a demon’s teeth – and ponzu sauce.
B: Wow, "demon grater"! That's a funny name! Sounds a little scary, huh?

A: It's supposed to be refreshing and tart! The reporter, P.K., tried them all.
B: And? Which one was the best?

A: That’s the thing! He said they were all pretty similar in flavor. Yoshinoya's was "orthodox" and Matsuya’s was "reliably delicious."
B: So, no clear winner? That's disappointing!

A: Exactly! But… he recommended Matsuya!
B: Why Matsuya? Was the taste better?

A: No, the taste was similar. It's cheaper! He said it's like a "buy-six-get-one-free" kind of deal if you eat gyudon a lot.
B: Oh, that makes sense! Every little bit helps, right? I might have to try Matsuya’s version then! Thanks for telling me!



A: You’re welcome! It was a fun read!
B: Definitely! Gyudon news is always good news!
