和牛は少し高いですよね😱
Wagyu is a little expensive, isn’t it?

Sukiyaki? Yakiniku? Gyudon?
みなさんは何が食べたいですか？✨

What You Can Practice
- 「〜が好きですか」 asks whether someone likes something. Here, 「和牛が好きですか」 means “Do you like wagyu?”
- The sentence-ending 「〜ですよね」 gently asks the listener to agree: 「高いですよね」 means “It’s expensive, isn’t it?”
- 「何を作ろうかな」 expresses thinking aloud: “What should I make?” or “I wonder what I should make.”
