Important Notes
⚠️ The saltiness of the umeboshi affects the flavor of the sauce, so adjust the amount of salt to taste.
💡 As mentioned in the anime, lean beef with less marbling pairs better with the refreshing Irizake sauce than fatty cuts.
🔥 Sear the green onions beforehand to enhance their sweetness and aroma.
