One of the guests asked us about “Wa-Gyu” or Japanese beef. The image of beef dish for the guests is probably steak. However, there are typical Japanese dish using “Wa-Gyu” is Sukiyaki and ShabuShabu.
Sukiyaki is a hotpot dish. Beef, vegetable and Tofu are simmered in a sweet sauce called, “warishita”.
ShabuShabu is also a hotpot. Thinly sliced beef is cooked for a few seconds with chopsticks and being dipped in a special sauce. Those dishes are perfect to enjoy during chilly winter days!

We are sometimes asked “How many members are there in Tokyo Free Walking Tour(TFWT)?”.
There are now over 180 volunteer tour guide members, including 36 new guides. We welcomed them in Dec. In fact, there was a tour training session going on at the same time on the same day. They were taking notes and eager to learn for their tour debut.
Welcoming newcomers stimulates current member’s motivation.
