(About a month ago on June 8, 2022) I visited a yakiniku restaurant on the first floor to have lunch, but it was fully booked, so I was offered a private room at the shabu-shabu restaurant on the second floor... Not only the atmosphere but also the pleasant service was delightful, so this time I made a reservation for a meal meeting at this restaurant. We met at 5:30 PM, and I arrived about 10 minutes early. The waitress who kindly showed me to the room seemed to be around 20 years old and was able to provide personal service without being constrained by the manual... I was worried that the people I was meeting would be late, but the waitress reassured me, saying, "I think they will be here soon." In particular, it seemed that there was no assigned attendant for the room, and during the meal, I received service from several waitresses, all of whom had a wonderful hospitality. The dish I had was "Black Wagyu Shabu-Shabu"... There were also premium and A5 grade Iwami beef available, but I chose the special selection in the middle. After preparing the dipping sauces, condiments, and side dishes soaked in kelp broth, such as paprika and cucumber with shirasu, were served... The refreshing taste was perfect for welcoming early summer. Then, the main meat was served with plenty of vegetables, and I was mesmerized by the beauty of the marbling. Carefully folded, the slices were larger than an adult's palm and had a satisfying volume with just four pieces per person. After enjoying the cabbage, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms that the waitress put in the pot first, adjusting the broth to not boil too much, and dipping the meat in a rich sesame sauce, I could feel the happiness of the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of the meat, as well as the sweetness, richness, and nuttiness of the high-quality fat spreading in my mouth. For the finishing touch, there was also "Shabu Ramen" to be enjoyed with pork bone soup, but I opted for the classic udon... Along with ponzu and sesame sauce, a Japanese-style broth was also provided, so I enjoyed the udon in the refreshing broth.

At a work drinking party at night, I was worried about my wallet if I had to pay for it myself. But since it didn't come out of my own wallet, it tasted even better! I'm used to all-you-can-eat meat, so it was so delicious~ As I'm getting a bit older, my stomach craves for a little bit of delicious meat.

The meat was incredibly delicious, I chose the premium selection over the special selection but as you can see, there was a lot of marbling and I ended up getting heartburn halfway through, so I had to give up. The meat itself was not bad, it was me who couldn't handle it. For women who are sensitive to fat, the top selection of meat might be easier to eat. Overall, I am satisfied with the delicious sukiyaki!

Lunch in Nishishin is the best here. The atmosphere, service, taste, and cost performance are all wonderful. I especially love the Yamasaki pork shabu-shabu, which is the cheapest and has the best cost performance. No downsides. If you want to have a relaxing lunch in a private room, be sure to make a reservation. PayPay and NexPay are accepted.

This is a sukiyaki restaurant run by a butcher in Nishijin. Each room is a private room and the atmosphere is quite nice...! You can eat slowly. I ordered the black wagyu sukiyaki. The waitress beautifully arranged the vegetables in the pot, and you cook the meat yourself. In other sukiyaki restaurants, the waitress cooks the meat as well, so about half of the meat is gone from the beginning and then it becomes mainly vegetables, so this style is much appreciated! You can eat the meat at your own pace. The service, including the distance, is fantastic. I cracked a Itojima brand egg and mixed it, and then!!! I dipped the meat in the egg like shabu-shabu! The balance is great...!!!!!! In many sukiyaki restaurants, the broth is sweet, the meat is fatty, and you feel happy the moment you put it in your mouth, but then it feels heavy afterwards. This sukiyaki has a good balance with some fat but not too heavy, not too sweet, and refreshing. You can eat it without getting tired or feeling heavy until the end. It's no wonder that there are many older customers. The vegetables were also delicious, and it was interesting to have dumplings in it. The pickles that came with the rice were also delicious. Thank you for the meal! A sukiyaki that you can enjoy until the end 【Nishijin Hatsu-ki】

I finally visited Nishishin Hatsu-ki, which I hadn't been able to go to for a while. I was torn between sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, but decided to have sukiyaki for lunch this time. The black wagyu sukiyaki meat was incredibly delicious with its rich fat. Next time, I will come back to try the shabu-shabu.

A slightly upscale pork shabu-shabu lunch. The entrance has a classy atmosphere, but since it's a completely private room, you can relax without worrying about others. During lunchtime, you can enjoy black wagyu or black pork shabu-shabu, sukiyaki. It comes with rice, pickles, side dishes, dessert, and coffee. The pork shabu-shabu with sweet fatty meat was exquisite.

I made a reservation and visited a restaurant where the staff, dressed in kimonos, guided us to our table. We ordered the special Imari beef sukiyaki for 8,000 yen for two people, vinegar miso for 990 yen, beef tongue yakitori for 3,500 yen, and horse sashimi for 3,000 yen. We ended up spending around 25,000 yen. When I cracked open an egg, it turned out to be a double yolk, which made me happy as it was my first time experiencing that. The vegetables in the sukiyaki were delicious, but the meat was exceptional. It was so tender that it melted in my mouth! All the dishes were delicious, so I would like to try the shabu-shabu next time.

On the second day in Fukuoka, my colleague who lives in Hakata took me out for dinner in Nishijin. We went to a restaurant run by a butcher and chose motsunabe (tripe hot pot). This time, we opted for the all-you-can-eat and drink option. The all-you-can-eat not only allows you to add more meat (tripe) and vegetables, but also lets you change the base soup for the hot pot. We started with the basic soy sauce flavor and then tried the miso flavor for the second round. We also had unlimited refills on drinks, so we drank, ate, and chatted, and ended up feeling a bit tipsy. It was lucky to discover another delicious restaurant with good value for money! We enjoyed our meal here as well. Thank you for the treat.

I visited a sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant called "Nishishin Hatsuki Honten" near Nishijin Station in Fukuoka Prefecture to try Kyushu pork. When I entered the restaurant, it was crowded, but after about 10 minutes, I was shown to a private room with a sunken kotatsu table. I ordered the Oita Prefecture Yamaegawa black pork shabu-shabu set for 1,600 yen (tax included). The set included side dishes, black pork, vegetable set, rice, pickles, dessert, and iced coffee. Everything was delicious, but the Oita Prefecture Yamaegawa black pork shabu-shabu was particularly outstanding. It was light, tender, and flavorful without any strong smell. Wrapping the vegetables with the meat and dipping it in ponzu sauce made it incredibly delicious. The staff provided attentive service. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful meal.

This is Nishijin in Sawara Ward... "Nishijin Hatsuki," a famous meat kaiseki restaurant known for its meat dishes. I have used this restaurant several times for business entertainment, and it is a great place with a calm atmosphere that is perfect for entertaining guests! This time was my first private use of the restaurant. The first floor is for yakiniku, the second floor is for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, and the third floor is for motsunabe, truly a "comprehensive meat company"! This time I aimed for sukiyaki and entered the second floor... The spacious and calming atmosphere made me feel at ease. The lunch menu is more affordable than dinner, so for the same price, you can go for black wagyu beef for lunch! Since it's a trip, let's indulge in delicious food. - Black Label (draft beer) 605 yen - Black Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki Lunch (special selection) 3900 yen (small dishes, black wagyu beef, vegetables, pickles, rice, dessert, etc.) First, cheers with a draft beer! As expected from a long-established meat kaiseki restaurant, the special selected meat slices are beautiful and make you want to eat them as they are. The egg is "Tsumande-go Tamago" from Itoshima, with a fresh and elastic yolk. The meat is a special selection with fine marbling, and the broth is elegant. The sukiyaki, eaten by mixing with the egg, is exquisite! The meat is delicious, but the vegetables like shiitake mushrooms are also tasty. The comfortable and spacious atmosphere was very pleasant. Thank you for the meal!

This is my third visit. A standout house-style restaurant in Nishijin, with yakiniku on the first floor and the sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant Hatsuki on the second floor. They offer private rooms for all seats, making it safe for families with children. My one-year-old daughter was very active and the staff kindly accommodated her. We ordered the usual sukiyaki course, along with additional dishes such as simmered beef cheeks, Caesar salad, and Kumamoto horse sashimi. The Caesar salad was a large portion, and although they offered a half-size option, the price was the same. It was too much for two people, but everything was delicious and we finished it all. Thank you as always. It was our anniversary this time, and we will definitely come back for special celebrations in the future. Thank you very much.

With its black hair and wagyu beef, this restaurant serves a truly luxurious meal. Starting with a lunch beer and appetizers, followed by the arrival of the meat. The lunch course includes a set of "Kuroge Wagyu + Kurobuta Shabu Shabu." It's so high-end that I could never afford it myself. The marbling on the meat is amazing, and the fat just melts away. There are three different dipping sauces, all delicious. The negi-dare sauce goes particularly well with the pork. It's been a while since I've had such high-quality meat. Shabu shabu style allows the excess fat to drain away, making it easy to keep eating.

Get off at Nishijin Station on the subway ⇒ Walk 7 minutes towards Fujisaki on the Nishijin Shotengai ⇒ It's on the 2nd floor of a beef study shop. It is 337m from Nishijin Station, and the entrance gives off a clean and high-end vibe. When I went for lunch, I was asked if I wanted the yakiniku lunch or the special lunch. This time, I opted for the special lunch and was guided to my seat. All lunch menu items are over 1500 yen. Since I came all the way to Nishijin, I decided to splurge and ordered the Black Wagyu Roast Beef Don. It cost 2750 yen including tax. The roast beef that came out was almost 100% cooked, unlike the photo, which was disappointing. And for this price? I thought it was a lunch that didn't meet expectations in terms of appearance and taste.

I was invited by a friend to visit this restaurant. When I saw the entrance, I felt a sense of tradition and luxury, and I was worried that it might be very expensive. However, I was able to enjoy a high-class atmosphere at a reasonable price. The salad was beautifully arranged, and the soy sauce-flavored motsunabe was light and delicious with a slightly sweet soup. For dessert, I had both ojiya and champon. Even though we ordered less than the amount for our group, we were all full. The strawberry ice cream for dessert was also delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. Even though we each ordered two drinks, when split between six people, it came out to only 3115 yen per person! The cost performance was amazing. The staff were also very polite and matched the atmosphere of the restaurant perfectly. I was happy to have found such a wonderful restaurant. Thank you very much.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate our team winning a company award. We splurged on the premium marbled wagyu beef shabu-shabu with unlimited meat refills, thanks to the prize money. The meat was served individually, and its beauty never failed to mesmerize us. Just looking at the meat lifted everyone's spirits and sparked lively conversations. The mysterious service where the meat quality improves with each refill was fantastic. The shabu-shabu was packed with plenty of vegetables, leaving us feeling satisfied. The private tatami room was elegant, making this restaurant the number one choice for dining in Nishijin.

■ Overall Review This is a famous shabu-shabu restaurant located in Nishijin. It can also be found in Prariva and Markis. I love pork shabu-shabu, so I ordered the premium black pork shabu-shabu lunch. I visited alone, and the sense of security of being able to dine in a private room is great. The food quality is 3.6, but the atmosphere is nice, so I would rate it 3.65. You can also order udon separately, but I completely forgot about it (my mistake). ■ Appetizer The tofu with wasabi was served as a starter. I came by car, so I couldn't drink, but I really wanted to at this point. It was delicious. ■ Shabu-Shabu Considering the price, the amount of pork is a bit small. However, there are plenty of vegetables and the presence of wheat gluten is nice. Also, the ponzu sauce and sesame sauce. I'm not a big fan of sesame sauce usually, but the sesame sauce here is delicious. It's exquisite. ■ Iced Coffee and Dessert I wanted to try the udon as well, but finishing with dessert always leaves me satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Suddenly, I also like beef♪ However, compared to pork belly, I feel that it lacks "umami" flavor. It's about 10% less in my opinion. This is especially true for imported beef with a lot of lean meat, but even with fatty Japanese black beef, the umami flavor is further reduced, to about 80% of pork meat. Now, I visited "Shokki" in Sawara-ku, Fukuoka City for lunch and ordered the Kuroge Wagyu and Kinunobuta shabu-shabu set (2850 yen). The price is excluding tax. In addition to the meat, the set includes small dishes, vegetables, rice, pickles, dessert, and a drink. The dipping sauces provided are sesame sauce, ponzu, and a separate Japanese-style broth. The sesame sauce is too overpowering with its sesame flavor, even just a little bit ruins the taste of the meat, and the Japanese-style broth seems to have too much green onion which is distracting.① First, I shabu-shabu the Kinunobuta and dip it in ponzu sauce. Mmm, it's rich in umami and delicious♪② Next, I do the same with the Kuroge Wagyu and dip it in ponzu sauce. Hmm, compared to pork, it's still lacking in flavor. In yakiniku (grilled meat), the lack of umami in beef is often masked by the sauce, but in shabu-shabu, it's quite noticeable. It's very tender, but I don't find the melting texture of beef appealing, so I end up calmly savoring the taste. I visited "Shokki" to reaffirm my belief that "Kuroge Wagyu is not as delicious as its price suggests," so I feel a bit sorry for the restaurant. However, despite prominently featuring Kuroge Wagyu, they offer it at a relatively reasonable price, so I have to give them credit. While I may just be ignorant, I will continue to search for a restaurant that truly offers delicious Kuroge Wagyu in the future, even if it means spending more than 10,000 yen per customer at a yakiniku restaurant.

Hello, it's me, food fighter Kyantama. I recently had a girls' night out at Hatsuki, a long-established restaurant in Nishijin. A colleague from the call center reserved the place for us, and it was my first time there. The restaurant is like a meat shop, offering a variety of options like yakiniku, shabu-shabu, and motsunabe. They have courses with all-you-can-drink options, but since my friend wanted to try different things, we decided to order a la carte. We drank quite a bit, so the bill was a bit high. They provide four different sauces, including salt, and the high-quality meat was delicious. One of my friends, who resembles a rude bulldog at our office, didn't even use a plate and licked the sauce directly from the table. I don't want to dine with her again, but I definitely want to go back to this restaurant.

I used it for a year-end party. The interior of the restaurant was very beautiful, and the private rooms were wonderful. The hot pot was delicious. It was pork shabu-shabu, and it was tasty. You can relax in the private room, so it was a nice restaurant. I would like to use it again next time.

It's been a while since I came here. This place is a safe choice for a private room where you can talk comfortably. It's convenient to be able to make a reservation on the same day. Shabu-shabu set for 1380 yen (excluding tax) includes shabu-shabu, small side dish, rice, pickles, and a drink. The small side dish was an eggplant dish. The quality of the meat this time was a bit lower than usual, but overall I think it's good value for money. Thanks for the meal.
