Donburi (丼;IPA:[dombɯɾi], literally "bowl", also abbreviated to "-don" as a suffix) is a Japanese "rice-bowl dish" consisting of fish, meat, vegetables or other ingredientssimmered together and served over rice.Donburi meals are usually served in oversized ricebowls which are also calleddonburi. If one needs to distinguish, the bowl is calleddonburi-bachi (丼鉢) and the food is calleddonburi-mono (丼物).
The simmering sauce varies according to season, ingredients, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist ofdashi (stock broth) flavored withsoy sauce andmirin (rice wine). Proportions vary, but there is normally three to four times as muchdashi as soy sauce andmirin. Foroyakodon, Tsuji (1980) recommends dashi flavored with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Forgyūdon, Tsuji recommends water flavored with dark soy sauce andmirin.
