I went to the newly renovated Shabu Shabu Kin no Buta Premium at the restaurant floor in the basement of the Nikko Hotel in Shinsaibashi, which started on July 4th, and it was amazing! You can enjoy all-you-can-eat black wagyu beef, beef tongue, and tempura. The course includes black wagyu beef, selected beef tongue, and the price is 7,500 yen. You can choose from 12 types of broths, and this time I chose grated daikon ponzu, crab shoyu, and corn. Each broth had a different deliciousness and it was enjoyable! The menu includes various types of black wagyu beef, pork, beef tongue, and vegetables, all of which are domestically sourced. The appetizers, hot pot finishes, rice dishes, desserts, and more were all delicious. The seating is spacious with many table box seats, providing a comfortable dining experience. The service and hospitality were excellent, making it a very pleasant dining experience. Definitely worth a visit! Follow me on Instagram for more gourmet information → @misa_stagram_osaka.

We went to the newly reopened 【Kin no Buta PREMIUM】 for a customer's birthday celebration meal. It had been a while since we last visited. We brought our elementary school-aged children with us, and they ate a lot of meat just like the adults. The a la carte options were all you can eat, and everything was delicious. The kids said they want to come back every month! Of course, the adults were also satisfied with the all-you-can-drink option.

The shabu-shabu black wagyu beef, beef tongue, and tempura at the restaurant floor in the basement of the Nikko Hotel in Shinsaibashi were amazing because they were all-you-can-eat. The beef tongue and specially selected black wagyu beef all-you-can-eat cost 7,500 yen. You can choose 3 out of 12 types of broth, and this time I chose grated radish sauce, crab soy sauce, and corn. You can eat black wagyu beef loin, black wagyu beef shoulder loin, black wagyu beef tendon, black wagyu beef belly, beef tongue, Japanese pork, and meatballs, as well as all vegetables being domestically sourced. The variety of appetizers, hot pot finishes, rice dishes, desserts, and more were impressive. The spacious table box seats provide a relaxed dining atmosphere. The service and hospitality were lovely, and the overall ambiance was very comfortable. Diet starts tomorrow!

There is a restaurant called "Kin no Buta" just a few minutes' walk from my home, but I often go to Premium in Shinsaibashi without visiting there at all. This day, my friend made a reservation for my birthday celebration, so I visited after a long time. It seems that my friend had ordered in advance, so I was embarrassed by the birthday cake and the birthday song by the staff, but it became a good memory. Grateful. (No electronic money payment, credit card accepted, Wi-Fi available in the establishment)

After praying for a prosperous business in 2022, I went to the Kin no Buta Premium Shinsaibashi branch at Hotel Nikko B2 in Shinsaibashi to warm up my cold body and stomach. I tried the all-you-can-eat pork belly course with 16 different broths to choose from for the 3-color hot pot: Hokkaido kelp broth, Japanese-style chicken white broth, and rich pork ginger soy sauce broth. The ginger pork broth was quite strong, while the chicken white broth was simple and didn't get boring until the end. The kelp broth was served with ponzu and sesame sauce, red leaf radish, chopped green onions, mugwort, mochi, shabu-shabu, and plenty of vegetables. The octopus and mushroom ajillo, corn tempura, and a dessert wagon with a choice of three items (I chose almond tofu, bracken rice cake, and cream puff) were all excellent. I was so full that I couldn't even eat the rice or noodles at the end. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I arrived at "Kinnobuta," located on the 2nd basement floor of the ANA InterContinental Tokyo hotel. I had heard about this place on the radio and wanted to try it out. Among the many shabu-shabu specialty restaurants, this one exudes a higher level of luxury from its appearance. The all-you-can-eat prices are 3,355 yen, 3,905 yen, and 5,225 yen for three courses. We opted for the middle course at 3,905 yen. I heard from someone in the men's clothing industry that when shown three types of suits, most Japanese people tend to choose the middle one. This psychology seems to apply to course meals as well. We also added the all-you-can-drink option for 1,650 yen. What surprised me at this restaurant was the variety of broth flavors. I think the shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat places I've been to before had about 6-8 types of broth, but at Kinnobuta, they have a whopping 16 types. It's way ahead of the competition. The broth flavors include: - Rich pork bone ginger soy sauce broth - Crab miso butter broth - Creamy potage broth - Spicy tan-tan broth - Luxurious fond de veau broth - Tom kha gai broth - Fisherman-style seafood tomato broth - Burnt garlic soy sauce broth - Rishiri kelp broth - Sukiyaki-style broth - Grated Japanese-style flying fish broth - Japanese-style chicken white broth - Chicken and yuzu salt broth - Clam chowder broth - Sichuan-style spicy broth with 15 kinds of spices And as a limited-time special, the "Luxurious Lobster Seafood Cream Broth with Grana Padano Cheese." We chose the "Grated Japanese-style flying fish broth," "Japanese-style chicken white broth," and the "Luxurious Lobster Seafood Cream Broth with Grana Padano Cheese." We dipped Japanese pork loin, shoulder, belly, Iberico pork, tofu, macaroni, vegetables into the broth and savored the meal. Now, let's dig in... Hmm, it's delicious as expected. It's not too greasy, and the meat fibers are tender, making it enjoyable without getting tired of it. Plus, by dipping the meat in the broth, you can remove excess fat and enjoy a healthy meal. The "Grated Japanese-style flying fish broth" and "Japanese-style chicken white broth" are light and go well together. However, personally, the "Luxurious Lobster Seafood Cream Broth with Grana Padano Cheese" has a bit of a distinct taste. I somehow sense the unique aroma of crustaceans like in a bisque. Well, on the other hand, they are using a broth made with luxurious lobster, so it will be irresistible to those who like it. We also ordered the "Hokkaido Scallop Cream Croquette" from the a la carte menu, and the creamy filling inside was gooey and piping hot. It was delicious. For dessert, you can choose one item, so we opted for the dessert wagon service. They bring a variety of colorful and beautiful desserts on a small cart. It's hard to choose because they all look so enticing. I wish I could just take as many as I want. The two hours flew by. Phew... Thank you for the meal~.

Had dinner at Kinno Buta PREMIUM located in Hotel Nikko Namba B2! The restaurant is very spacious and feels like a semi-private room. We ordered the popular all-you-can-eat premium pork course (3,905 yen) with a 2-hour time limit and a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option (1,650 yen). The course includes all-you-can-eat Japanese pork (loin, thigh, shoulder loin, belly), Iberico pork, and all side dishes. There are 16 choices for the hot pot broth, and we chose the Japanese-style dashi, white broth, and luxurious lobster seafood cream broth (limited to December to January). The initial servings included pork loin, shoulder loin, hot pot vegetables, leek vegetables, and fish balls, all of which were delicious! The broths were all tasty, but personally, I enjoyed the Japanese-style dashi the most. The shoulder loin had a slight chewiness and was also excellent. We indulged in pork thigh, pork belly, pork wiener, maroni, hot pot tofu, rice (large and small), and two types of pickles (cabbage and cucumber). Additionally, we had Iberico pork shoulder loin, Hokkaido scallop cream croquette, and a dessert cart service. We added dessert and enjoyed eating and drinking for 2 hours! There was also ramen available for the finale, but we were too full to try it.

The all-you-can-eat pork shabu-shabu buffet is on the pricier side at 3509 yen. Now, you can choose from three different broths: Sichuan, kombu, and soy milk miso. You can enjoy various cuts of pork like thigh and shoulder loin, but I prefer the usual loin. The price includes a limited-time premium menu, making it a great deal. The restaurant is well-ventilated and comfortable despite being underground.

Visit on December 19, 2020. End-of-year party for 2020. Last year, we could choose from 2 types of hot pot, but this year we were surprised to find out we could choose from 3 types! Besides shabu-shabu, all the other dishes are all-you-can-eat, so we always order some, and they are all delicious. I particularly like the spicy fried burdock. The desserts are also beautifully presented, making it enjoyable until the end.

The tonkotsu soup surprisingly paired well with the shabu-shabu pork! They're both from the same pig, so that makes sense, haha. It was a new discovery for me and I hope it becomes a staple soup on the menu! Just a heads up, the soup is a bit spicy when you drink it on its own. Definitely recommended!

It was a nice Saturday with good weather. I came for lunch in Shinsaibashi. I headed to the basement second floor of the Nikko Hotel. The restaurant I visited was Kin no Buta Premium. The entrance was wide and the interior mainly consisted of private rooms, giving it a slightly high-class feel. I was guided to a table by a young female server. Now, it's time to consider the menu. The recommended dishes here are the all-you-can-eat black wagyu and domestic beef shabu-shabu, as well as the all-you-can-eat domestic pork shabu-shabu. The set menu includes the one soup and six side dishes set, starting with the domestic pork loin tonkatsu set, followed by the beef loin katsu, domestic beef bulgogi, and black wagyu sukiyaki. For the lunch set, there are options like the deep-fried young chicken with grated ponzu sauce, beef loin steak set, young chicken and colorful vegetable with black vinegar sauce, and domestic pork loin tonkatsu. I decided to order the domestic pork loin tonkatsu set. After a while, the set arrived. The main plate had tonkatsu on a grill, along with grated daikon. There was also a mini salad, rice, miso soup, and pickled Chinese cabbage side dish. I started with the mini salad, which was finely shredded cabbage with corn as a nice touch. Now, onto the tonkatsu. The pork loin was about 1cm thick, with a generous coating of breadcrumbs that gave a crunchy texture. The pork meat itself was tender and not chewy, indicating high-quality pork. The grated ponzu sauce provided a tangy flavor that complemented the tonkatsu well. The rice was cooked perfectly, not too soft or hard, ideal for pairing with fried dishes. The miso soup was flavorful with a rich broth. As for the tonkatsu, the fatty parts on the edges were best enjoyed with the grated daikon and ponzu sauce, while the meatier center part paired well with the sauce. Overall, the tonkatsu was delicious, and I resisted the temptation for a rice refill. The service was attentive and thoughtful. Thank you for the meal.

The first time trying the premium course at Kinbuta. At first, I wasn't sure what made it premium, as it seemed similar to the regular course... But regardless, the quality of the Kinbuta was consistent as always. The meat and dishes were all delicious. They had just started their autumn menu on that day, with a choice of three different broths for the hot pot: limited-time mushroom broth, beauty tonkotsu, and yuzu salt broth. For dessert, they had a sweet potato brulee parfait. I left feeling satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to go out for the first time in a while after the self-restraint was lifted and dine out. I made a reservation online in advance and visited at 6 pm on Saturday. They were taking proper infection prevention measures, such as alcohol disinfection upon entering. I ordered the all-you-can-eat course with Japanese pork motsu-buta and beef tongue shabu-shabu. I chose yuzu salt, 7 kinds of shaved bonito Japanese dashi, and rich chicken white broth as my broths. I enjoyed eating plenty of motsu-buta loin, belly, and Iberico pork belly♪ From the ethnic fair menu, I had the carpaccio of golden eye snapper. I also had corn tempura and a healthy salad from the regular menu. For dessert, I ordered the peach and mascarpone gateau fromage cake and the limited-time purple sweet potato cream and black bean douhua Taiwan parfait. The fully booked restaurant had a calm atmosphere with excellent service from the staff! It was a happy dinner with a full stomach and heart now that we can dine out again♪

Visited at 1 pm on a regular day. The day before, I visited Aburiya Premium and had a good experience, so I decided to try the shabu-shabu style here. The restaurant has a spacious and clean interior, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. The staff's hospitality is also excellent. I received explanations about the menu options. I opted for the all-you-can-eat option with Japanese pork and mochi pork (2450 yen). There is also an option for all-you-can-eat Hokkaido beef in addition to the pork (3550 yen). I chose two out of the eight broth options available: beef bone and 7 types of bonito flakes Japanese-style broth, and collagen-rich beauty tonkotsu broth. The tonkotsu broth also came with a side of moroheiya sauce. The meal started with slices of Japanese pork loin and belly, a plate of assorted vegetables, finely shredded vegetables, and homemade pork meatballs. After that, you can order additional items from the menu. I ordered a sweet potato and prosciutto salad, spicy fried burdock, and corn tempura. The presentation of the dishes was meticulous. The standout dish of the day was the spicy fried burdock, with a spicy seasoning coating the fried burdock. It was a perfect accompaniment to alcohol. However, the other side dishes were just average. As for the shabu-shabu, the Japanese pork was disappointing, lacking in umami and sweetness. The broths were also not impressive - the beef bone broth lacked depth and tasted more like consomme due to the strong sweetness of sauteed onions. The tonkotsu broth was clear and lacked the usual pork bone richness. The moroheiya sauce didn't seem necessary. Overall, the food left me with some doubts, despite the good service. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on December 21, 2019. I have been here several times but this is my first review. We have our year-end party here every year, so I think it's a suitable place for such gatherings. The shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat with unlimited side dishes is not too expensive, which is great! The presentation of the dishes is also very nice, and even when it's busy, the service is not slow. My favorites are the spicy fried burdock and corn tempura, which I order every time. The desserts are visually appealing and I leave feeling fully satisfied every time.

The pork rice cakes were delicious. It was convenient to be able to order through the touch panel, making the ordering process smooth. There was a wide variety of items on the menu and the presentation was beautiful. All the items were served quickly without any long waits. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity.

I tried out the "Kin no Buta Premium" restaurant, a popular all-you-can-eat pork shabu-shabu spot in the Kansai area. Located on the second floor below the Nikko Hotel along Midosuji Avenue, the gourmet floor had several tempting options, but I resisted and chose Kin no Buta Premium. The interior had a sophisticated feel with wooden accents, giving off a high-end vibe. I ordered the all-you-can-eat pork shabu-shabu course for around 3500 yen, along with all-you-can-drink. The pork shabu-shabu was delicious and refreshing! It tasted even better when wrapped with thinly sliced onions and vegetables. The a la carte menu was also impressive, with each dish offering good quality. Personally, I recommend the "beef cutlet." It could easily cost around 1000 yen at other places. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Year-end party~♪ I visited for a company year-end party. This is my second time visiting here. I came for lunch about 2 years ago, and this time I came specifically for the side menu that was only available at night. I made a reservation over the phone about 5 days ago, and due to the year-end party season, there was only availability at 5:15 pm, so I managed to make a reservation for that time. I arrived about 5 minutes early, gave my name for the reservation, and was seated after a short wait. I ordered the pork course because I was aiming for the side menu. The broth options were "beauty tonkotsu dashi" and "Japanese-style duck broth" (limited time). First, I received 3 types of meat, 2 types of meatballs, and hot pot vegetables. Then, I could add more items from the side menu. I added salmon carpaccio, salted chicken wings, beef loin cutlet, thick-sliced roast beef, corn tempura, Japanese beef tomato stew, domestic pork belly chashu, and special spinning salad as side dishes to the hot pot. For additional hot pot ingredients, I added mugwort-flavored Kyoto-style wheat gluten, Japanese pork sausage, and Japanese soba noodles. For dessert, when ordering the course, each person could choose one item. I ordered 2 items for someone who didn't eat dessert: seasonal sherbet (apple) and Kyoto chestnut Mont Blanc parfait. All the side dishes were delicious, but the roast beef, in particular, was tender and tasty, so I had it twice. The beef tomato stew had a light soup and was delicious. The corn tempura was also delicious. I had 9 side dishes and was full. I had a little bit of hot pot and finished with dessert. The seasonal sherbet with apple was refreshing and delicious after a rich meal. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Kin no Buta Premium. It was almost full, probably because of the GoTo Eat campaign. The all-you-can-eat order system made ordering easy. The first meat dish brought to the table was thick and large. It seemed like I would get full quickly if I kept eating that, but the additional orders were smaller. It was a bit of a wait from ordering to being served, but not too long. It was nice to be able to choose from three types of broth. The course included all-you-can-eat black wagyu beef, fragrant yuzu salt broth, beautiful skin tonkotsu broth, chewy shrimp balls, mochi-wrapped chicken balls, and truffle-scented adult fried potatoes. The drink menu was all-you-can-drink.

I visited the restaurant after going to a beauty salon. I arrived for dinner a little later than usual. I was recommended to add a drink all-you-can-drink plan. However, the drinks were served very slowly from the beginning. I chose a fish and kelp broth for the soup base, and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat pork belly course for 2 hours. I later regretted not choosing the course with beef menu, but the kelp broth was light and delicious with vegetables, and the sesame-based sauce was also tasty. Next time, I will definitely try the black wagyu beef together!

This place is definitely recommended for pork shabu-shabu. I've tried beef a few times, but pork shabu-shabu is the best here! If you order additional items from the start, you can finish your meal in just 30 minutes, which is perfect for busy people.
