3Example

Traditionally, the most fashionable way of ordering at Yoshinoya, the most famous beef bowl chain in Japan,
was to order Oomori-tsuyu-daku, which means a large serving and a large amount of sauce. But there wasa considerable increase in the number of customers who ordered Oomori-tsuyu-daku, not so much because
they truly wanted to eat Oomori-tsuyu-daku, but rather because they wanted to hear themselves say the thenfashionable word “tsuyu-daku”. Because of this, Oomori-tsuyu-daku is now considered out of fashion.
Nowadays, a more fashionable order is Negi-daku, which means a large amount of Negi, or onion. The
most fashionable is Oomori-negi-daku-gyoku, which means a lot of Negi and a little bit of beef, plus an egg(gyoku) on the side (NotFound, 2001).

4Conclusion

It has been shown that Oomori-negi-daku-gyoku is the most fashionable way of ordering at Yoshinoya. But
it must be cautioned that Yoshinoya workers will be watchful of customers who order Oomori-negi-dakugyoku from the nest time on. It is advised that novice eaters instead order something more standard, suchas Gyuzake-teishoku, which means a lunch set with beef and salmon.
