Niku Jyaga is a traditional Japanese beef and potato stew that has been enjoyed for generations. It originated in the northern Tohoku region of Japan, where winters are cold and harsh, and warming dishes like Niku Jyaga are a staple. Today, it is enjoyed all over Japan and in Japanese restaurants around the world. With its warming broth, tender beef, and soft potatoes, this dish is both comforting and delicious.
