A 11.29-oz bowl was $3 on sale (normally $4.49).
A gyudon is literally a beef bowl (like the kind that Yoshinoya is known for). The beef is typically simmered in a lightly-sweetened, savory sauce. Compared to Yoshinoya and other beef bowls I've tried, Ajinomoto's version comes with beef that offers a richer, sweeter, and more intense flavor due to the sauce. It's also fairly thick and clung onto the beef and rice well.

The onions were soft but with just a slight watery crunch to it as well as a sweet note of caramel.
The rice turned out excellently. It was slightly sticky with moist, firm grains that were still cooked though.
