Things are heating up at Yoshinoya this summer as the chain rolls out two hot new dishes: Hanabi Hot Gyudon Beef and Hanabi Hot Chicken.
For those who can handle the heat, both of Yoshinoya's new limited-edition dishes are the perfect way to get your taste buds tingling. The new Hanabi Hot Gyudon Beef features ribbons of Gyudon Beef and onions that have been slow-simmered in a sweet and savory herb miso soy broth, and then drizzled with new Hanabi hot sauce. On the other hand, the Hanabi Hot Chicken features grilled chicken glazed with the brand’s spicy new Hanabi hot sauce. The beef is served with the chain’s award-winning steamed rice or another base of your choosing, while the chicken is served with rice and veggies.
