This is a shabu-shabu restaurant that opened in November 2012 at the Futamatase intersection. It used to be an izakaya, but it was renovated into a shabu-shabu restaurant as the name suggests. My wife and I visited because she wanted to eat shabu-shabu that day. The interior of the restaurant has many table seats that feel like private rooms, so it is safe even for families with small children. The menu offers set menus, all-you-can-eat options, and a la carte dishes. We decided to order the all-you-can-eat course for beef and pork for 2,800 yen, and added a drink all-you-can for 1,400 yen. We first chose two types of broth for the shabu-shabu base. We chose organic soy milk dashi and secret Tsukimi suki-shabu dashi. I started with pork loin for the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. Vegetables are also all-you-can-eat, starting with the first assortment. We chose Tsukimi suki-shabu dashi for the shabu-shabu dipping sauce, so we had three types: egg, sesame sauce, and grated ponzu. We enjoyed the shabu-shabu with the mild sweetness of the suki-shabu dipping sauce and egg. Next was pork kalbi, which we enjoyed with special ponzu. We then switched to beef, starting with beef loin shabu-shabu. We tried chicken meatballs in a bamboo tube next. Finally, we had beef kalbi shabu-shabu, which concluded the meat portion. Since we ate a lot of meat, we added mushrooms like eringi. For the last part of the shabu-shabu, we ordered hanpen and flat fu. After finishing the shabu-shabu, I switched to apple sour for another drink. My snack was peanut bean sprouts. My wife, who wasn't drinking alcohol, nibbled on black sugar soybeans and drank oolong tea. To finish off the shabu-shabu, we had tofu cheese risotto using soy milk broth. It was a portion for one person, but it was enough for both of us after eating a full meal. For the dessert in the all-you-can-eat course, you can choose one item per person. I chose the special ice cream for an extra stomach. We had a satisfying dinner with delicious shabu-shabu. I think it is a restaurant with excellent cost performance. The restaurant is located at the Futamatase intersection where the prefectural road and national road intersect.
