Sadly, I'd have to travel for an hour plus from home to get to my
nearest yoshinori. Not that I care for their food anyway. Although it
does have more nutritional value than McD.

I've been waiting for them to reply to my e-mail
requests to both their Japanese, and American web
sites for nutritional information for about 2
years now. Is it finally up on a web site now?

They have franchises in both California and New York, and surely in
at least one of those places it's mandatory to provide the information
when asked. I wonder if you could just go in and ask for a flyer.
In any case, if it's just gyuudon that you're looking for, the nutritional
info. should be pretty easy to figure out... There's a bunch of rice
which is nearly all carbohydrate, and beef which I assume will have the same
nutritional information as any other beef (fat and protein, whose ratio
depends on the cut of meat). The onions and sugar in the
sauce will provide some carbohydrate, but I don't think that the other
ingredients will do anything.
- awh
what exactly are the ingredients? anyone have a good recipe that might
resemble the taste of yoshinori's chain stuff?

Isn't that an oxymoron?
KWW
You can have a recipe that's *good* at producing something that
resembles a certain dish, without implying anything about the quality of
said dish.

either way, it would be great if anyone had a recipe for something that
"kinda" looked and/or tasted like it.

You've never made that ? Take a wok, heat it, put oil, the oignons, 2
minutes, the meat(no need to defrost it), sugar, soy sauce, dashi, 3 to 6
minutes, glutamate. Pour it on the rice.Add the spices and artificially
colored ginger.

The hardest part is finding out what cut of meat to use, and then getting
it thin. I've had decent luck with pre-cut shabu-shabu meat from the
local Japanese grocery. No other butchers that I've found will slice meat
that thin (though I suppose that back when fondue was popular there must
have been lots).
To make it, you'll want to first chop up some onions and brown them.
Then add soy sauce, sugar, and mirin to the pan. I don't know the
ratio; I just put them in until it seems right. To duplicate the
true Yoshinoya flavour, you'll probably want to put in some MSG.
Once you've got the sauce right, dump in the raw sliced-up meat and cook
that for a while. Then just take the whole mess and dump it on top of
rice.
One thing that I haven't been able to find is that brown crushed-up-pepper
stuff that is in shakers at Yoshinoya. I think it's a mixture of
peppers, salt, and MSG.

I believe Yoshinoya use silverside. I've heard it Australian but I don't think
any Australia cow could be 90% fat and gristle.

They might buy less quality beef from there. Matsuya is also supposed to be
Australian beef. You can almost see through it. Slicing it into 1 mm sheets
might even make the hooves taste soft...

A ham slicer. Ask your butcher to put the meat in the freezer a few hours to
harden, then it's easy. Well I say that, but my butcher was already trained
to cut thin enough slices of mortadella.
At home, you can try with a good nice (on half frozen meat too).

Thanks Drew. I'll give that I shot.
The Quick, Healthy, Nutritious
Alternative to Fast Foods.
(From their website http://www.yoshinoyausa.com/nutritional.html )
Yoshinoya's food is a unique fusion of a traditional Japanese dish and
American fast-food convenience. There's nothing else like it. We choose and
prepare it according to rigid standards in order to assure our customers
uniform, high-quality meals. Then, we prepare each order individually. It's
more work this way, but it's this commitment to quality that sets Yoshinoya
apart.
Currently, we are updating our menu. General nutritional information is not
available at this time.
That's nice to see they've updated their pages. A
couple of years ago they provided a link to click
on if you wanted to get the nutritional
information not mailed back to you.

They might buy old kangaroo meat, and they pretend it's beef.

You find what they sell now "soft" ? They cut it to allow you to swallow
without chewing. Once in a while, when I have only 15 minutes for lunch, I
buy one of those 300 yen gyudon box set, mostly for the rice, there is not
30 yen worth of meat in it.
I'm the only one that noticed they've changed ? Maybe 6-8 years ago, before
they lowered their prices, that was simple but good. Their meat was not 90%
fat. And not saturated with glutamate. I wouldn't know where to find the low
quality of meat they use now ! Probably all the left-overs of
slaughter-houses around the world, frozen, defrost, cut, refrozen,
re-defrost.
My butcher, at home, was shocked enough when I told him to cut pot-au-feu
meat for stir-fry, he made his wife try to see if that was not too hard. I
wouldn't dare telling a real butcher to cut what he proposes in his petfood
section.
Tonight, I eat a daube. It has been simmering all day. The meat is so
sooooooft. That smells good. I should have made much more, I didn't know I
had a guest. What if I hided it, (for tomorrow), and served gyudon
instead...

I thought the stuff they use is just plain old 七味.
