An 11.29-oz box cost me $3 on sale (they're normally $4.49).
In case you're wondering, a yakiniku don is basically a barbecue meat (in this case, beef) rice bowl.

The soy sauce-based sauce was neither too thick nor too thin and hit a nice balance of sweet and savory with just a bit of heat from Tabasco sauce and some extra depth from miso paste. There was a surprising complexity compared to teriyaki sauce.
The vegetables consisted of a combination onion, green beans, and carrot. They were a little flavorless but added texture.

Taken altogether, I really enjoyed Ajinomoto's Yakiniku Don for the grill-quality of the meat, the flavor and balance of the sauce, and the way the rice turned out.
