Due to its popularity, the beef tongue dish quickly sold out and became a hot topic. It has been restocked, so I came to Shabuya. I arrived at 11:30 on Sunday and was seated immediately, but after 12 o'clock, there was quite a wait. This restaurant seems to have a high ratio of young children. I ordered the beef tongue course with lemon herb broth and kelp broth. The lunch price was over 3,500 yen, which was unexpected for Shabuya. The beef tongue was delicious, with a light and flavorful taste. It had a chewy and elastic texture typical of beef tongue. The quality of the meat varied, but overall, it was tasty. I personally think that the lemon herb broth is the most delicious broth in Shabuya's history. The staff at the Shin-Kotoni store are the most wonderful among all the Shabuya stores in Sapporo. They seem to act with the customers in mind. I will definitely go back.

Visited at 11:30 on June 9, 2023. "Shabu Leaf" is a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant owned by the Skylark Group. Although they have stores all over the country, I was attracted to their concept of serving plenty of vegetables. Today, I chose the most affordable option, the "Pork Belly Course ¥1,539" and the "Drink Bar ¥299." You can choose two types of broth for the shabu-shabu, so I chose the basic white broth and the spicy red miso broth. Normally, I would order mainly meat, but this time I only ordered 6 plates of pork belly and 1 plate of chicken. I enjoyed a large plate of salad and shabu-shabu vegetables at the vegetable bar. All-you-can-eat allows you to eat to your heart's content without worrying about the price. I enjoyed the abundance of vegetables. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After work, I had dinner at Shabuya with a coworker. On a cold day like this, a meal that warms up the body is just right. We arrived at the restaurant around 5:30 pm, so it wasn't peak dinner time yet, and the place was quite empty. We ordered the all-you-can-eat three kinds of pork (loin and pork belly) option. We chose soy sauce and sukiyaki soup. This place has a wide variety of vegetables and condiments, which I love. The first plate of meat was brought to us by the staff, but after that, a serving robot, which was recently introduced, brought the meat to our table. It's the modern era. I didn't know the rules and put the empty plates on the robot, but it was written on the table that returning plates is not allowed. It seems like the robot is for serving only. For dessert, I had my favorite coffee jelly (with condensed milk) and white bean soup, which left me very satisfied with dinner.

Shabuya from the evening is very empty. The store is still clean and quiet (laughs). The recently popular robot brings the food. Shabu-shabu is nice because it can be eaten refreshingly. Lots of vegetables. I had multiple servings of sweets. Ate too much (laughs).

Located in the Shin-kyo-like area, along 4th Street, this shabu-shabu chain restaurant is part of the Skylark group. Although a bit far from my home, I was in the mood for shabu-shabu for dinner, so I decided to visit this suburban branch. The parking space was ample, and the restaurant had a decent number of seats, so I thought I would be able to get in quickly. However, the place was surprisingly crowded, with the restaurant full and many people waiting, indicating its popularity. After a 25-minute wait in the waiting area, I was finally seated at a table. I opted for the "All-You-Can-Eat Course with 2 types of beef and premium pork (2,309 yen + 110 yen on weekends and holidays)". You can choose from a few types of broth for the hot pot. While vegetables and dipping sauces are self-serve buffet style, you can order meat from a terminal at your table, and a robotic server will bring it to you. The meat quality was decent for the price. However, the staff seemed understaffed, resulting in frequent shortages at the buffet station and delays in clearing tables even when there were empty seats. There is room for improvement in terms of service. Overall, considering the reasonable price, it's a good option when you want to eat a satisfying amount of shabu-shabu.

I visited this place for the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. I chose the soy milk hot pot and medicinal herb hot pot, and ate a lot of meat. I later realized that I had chosen the same broth last time I visited, oops. Next time, I'll choose a different broth. The soy milk hot pot had a mild and slightly creamy taste, which went well with various vegetables and meat. It was excellent with ponzu sauce. The medicinal herb hot pot allowed you to choose the level of spiciness, which was nice to customize to personal preference. It had a numbing element like sansho pepper, and it was delicious! They also had desserts like waffles and soft serve ice cream, which delighted the kids. I indulged in them too. Sometimes you just crave a hearty meal, and this place is recommended for those times. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on January 7th, 2022. It's already been almost two months since I started taking Fridays off from drinking, and it feels strangely good. Susukino is lively at night with lots of flowers blooming, inviting gentlemen out, but the cost performance is at its lowest on weekends, so I'll ignore that area for now. I felt like having shabu-shabu, but I didn't feel like preparing it myself, so I came here instead. Since the prices are low, there's no need to evaluate the quality or taste of the meat. I just ate to my heart's content! Thank you for the meal♪

Pork shoulder loin lunch shabu-shabu for around 1400 yen paid with PayPay (I forgot to use a coupon for 20% cashback and was quite shocked. Be careful not to forget it). Infection prevention measures include disinfecting at the entrance, gloves and masks when going to get vegetables, and covers on the vegetables (you can reach in from below to get them). There are two types of broth, yuzu and umami spicy (level 0 spiciness), so for an additional 100 yen (at no extra charge, one will be white broth). Ordering is done via tablet for both meat and vegetables, which you have to get yourself. I have been to the Tanuki-koji store before and the variety of vegetables hasn't changed much. I thought the types of dipping sauces were slightly different, but I don't remember much from before. The ones I found here were plum sauce, sesame sauce, ponzu, shrimp and scallop cream sauce, onion sauce, and Japanese dipping sauce. I think there were a few more options. Plus, you can also change the flavor with chili oil or avocado mayo, so the flavor variations are endless. The umami spicy broth was really delicious, not spicy at all! The yuzu broth had a nice yuzu aroma at the beginning, which was very tasty. It loses the yuzu aroma as it simmers down! And the waffles were freshly made and chewy, so delicious that I always end up eating a lot. Oh, and the pork belly was accidentally served in the middle, but it wasn't too fatty and was good, but I still prefer the shoulder loin for its meaty texture. It's tender and has a good texture. I will definitely order the shoulder loin next time. It's a great deal for a satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal!

I came to Shabu-Shabu at Shin-Kyoen and enjoyed a solo shabu-shabu session! I actually came in the wrong order, as I had just eaten at Mister Donut, had coffee, ramen, and soft serve, so I wasn't really prepared for all-you-can-eat. But I really wanted shabu-shabu, so I ended up here. Shabu-Shabu is part of the Skylark Group. I arrived around 1 pm and about 80% of the seats were already taken. It seems that lunch shabu-shabu is quite popular. Even after I arrived, more and more people kept coming in. I ordered the All-You-Can-Eat Three-Kind Pork Belly Course for 1,319 yen including tax (1,429 yen on Saturdays). Let's eat! First, I chose the broth. The basic is white miso, and you can choose one more. I chose yuzu salt broth. I started with 5 plates. They brought vegetables and sauce, and I started eating! Shabu-shabu really goes well with pork belly, doesn't it? It's lighter than beef and you never get tired of it, right? I kept ordering 5 plates, 5 plates, 5 plates... then 3 plates, 3 plates... I skipped the ramen this time since I had it earlier, and just had the dessert of shiratama with sweet red bean paste and soft serve. Both kids and adults love making their own desserts, right? After eating ramen earlier, I stopped at 31 plates. I really want to eat again tomorrow! Haha. Thank you for the meal!

On a certain weekday, I visited a sukiyaki restaurant belonging to the Skylark Group for the first time, I think. The parking lot is shared and spacious. The interior of the restaurant is similar in size to a family restaurant with many table seats, providing a decent amount of space between each table. As a measure against COVID-19, customers are instructed to disinfect their hands at the entrance and wear masks and vinyl gloves each time they go to get vegetables. The staff's explanations were polite but seemed somewhat mechanical. I decided to order the "Three Kinds of Pork All-You-Can-Eat (1399 yen, tax included)" and the "Drink Bar (249 yen, tax included)" which significantly increased the total cost. I ordered the meat using the touch panel, put on nylon gloves, selected vegetables and sauces, and returned to my table only to find that the meat had already arrived! However, every time I went to get vegetables, I ended up with more gloves. The portions of meat seemed small at first, but as I ate vegetables and sides, my stomach quickly filled up. The pork belly, pork loin, and chicken meat were thinly sliced and had a good texture. The two types of soup base in the pot were light and good, while the scallop and sweet shrimp soup had a subtle flavor. The variety of dipping sauces for the meat and vegetables, such as pickled vegetables, avocado dip, sichuan chili oil, plum bonito sauce, grated onion, and yuzu pepper, were all impressive. The wakame and bamboo shoot rice had a firm texture with a light saltiness, and the curry with sweet ground meat seemed like something children would enjoy. The dessert options like soft serve ice cream and waffles, as well as the drink bar, were typical of a family restaurant. Most customers seemed to enjoy their meal in their own way, staying for an average of about 90 minutes. Personally, I would like to try the all-you-can-eat option for one type of meat next time and enjoy the delicious vegetables. It was amusing to see the customer next to me continuously ordering large quantities of meat at a fast pace, while the customer across from me indulged in endless waffles and melon juice. Hats off to them! Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since I had shabu-shabu at Shabu Leaf♪ I was worried about the COVID-19 measures, but they were well taken care of✩︎⡱ The vegetable section had curtains, and gloves and masks were required to pick up food! Well, some people weren't following the rules though^^; All meat orders were done through a touch panel system! I was curious about the avocado wasabi mayo I saw on TV the other day. I sprinkled a lot of black pepper on it and it was so delicious⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝♡︎ I wasn't sure how to use the avocado wasabi mayo, but adding black pepper was the key. It was the last Saturday of the Obon holiday, so there were many families dining. It was packed around lunchtime. We went right at the opening at 11 am, so we were fine, but there were people lining up before opening! It's really popular♪ The soup this time was spicy miso and soy milk~♪ You can choose two types for an additional 100 yen. Since it had been a while, we went all out and got the drink bar and two types of soup♡ Oh boy, we were so full we almost burst w All of this for a little over 1500 yen per person ((laughs´∀︎`)) Oh, and we used a coupon for a discount! During the Obon period, they have an 80-minute course! Well, 80 minutes of eating is plenty! I'll definitely go back again!!

[Shabuha Shinkotoshi Branch] Lunch meeting with colleagues♪ It's my first time here. My junior made a reservation and informed the staff at the entrance while we waited. The next person who entered also seemed to have a reservation. As we waited, the person who arrived later was being seated. Huh?? I couldn't see the staff member I informed earlier. Another person who didn't have a reservation was about to be seated... When I mentioned again that we had a reservation and were waiting, we were finally seated. I hope the staff member I informed initially will operate more efficiently next time. We were a group of three, so we were seated at a table for four. The meat was ordered at the table, while the sauce, vegetables, and desserts were buffet-style. We were served soup and meat to start with, which already filled up our table. It might be a tight fit for four people. There were two types of hot pot soup, one being the basic broth and the other with a choice of several flavors. I chose the medium spiciness level, but it wasn't very spicy. Perhaps they cater to families, so it's on the milder side? We opted for a course with two types of pork and chicken. The ordering process went smoothly, and the taste was decent considering the affordable price. The meat wasn't tough or dry, so we could enjoy the shabu-shabu without worries. The vegetables at the buffet included enoki mushrooms, oddly cut into halves making them hard to eat, along with green onions, tofu, daikon radish, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, and konjac noodles, allowing us to enjoy a variety of options. For dessert, there was shaved ice, waffles, soft serve ice cream, cotton candy, and more, which seemed like something children would enjoy. The soft serve ice cream was a nice palate cleanser. They also had curry available, which might be a good option for those who want to try a curry hot pot while waiting for the soup to boil. Sushi all-you-can-eat wasn't available for lunch, so I might consider trying their dinner menu next time.

I went around 8:00 p.m. on Sunday and it was quite crowded, with a wait of 4 groups. Still, I lined up because I wanted to eat shabu-shabu, and both the vegetables and meat were delicious (personally, the special this time was the wood ear mushrooms). I didn't plan on eating rice because I'm on a diet, but one person was eating seaweed rice so deliciously that we all ended up giving in to temptation...

Until now, when I wanted to eat meat, my only choice was yakiniku, but lately I can't eat it much, so I have more options for hot pot. So this time, I went for shabu-shabu. It was around 3500 yen with all-you-can-eat sushi and a drink bar, featuring domestic beef and Iberico pork. Although I ended up choosing sukiyaki and spicy kimchi hot pot instead of shabu-shabu, it was just a normal all-you-can-eat experience. However, they had a good variety of condiments so I didn't get bored. The service was very fast even though it was crowded with families. But I realized that I can't eat much, so if I'm going to spend the same amount, I'd prefer to have a little bit of really delicious food. So now I have a stronger craving for some amazingly delicious shabu-shabu or sukiyaki.

It was shabu-shabu. It ended up being a little over 2000 yen, which is pretty cheap. Well, I ate a lot as usual. Shabu-shabu in buffet style is fun (laughs). It's enjoyable to choose from a few different types of good soup. Normal is the best.

After shopping, I was driving along Shin-Kotoni 4th Street wondering what to eat, when I happened to see a sign and decided to enter. It was a weekday, and the all-you-can-eat menu had no time limit, so the restaurant was bustling with a group of mom friends. The faces around me remained the same until we left (laughs). I chose the all-you-can-eat course for ¥1199 (excluding tax) with three kinds of pork shoulder loin. You have to go and get the vegetables, sauces, condiments, rice, etc. yourself. Due to the crowds, some of the vegetables and condiments were not replenished in a timely manner. However, when I ordered the meat, it came quickly, and they even asked if I wanted more soup broth. The only thing I thought could be improved was having the ponzu sauce and sesame sauce at the table instead of having to go get it each time it ran out. Overall, it was a good meal.

I ate with all my might during the day. It was a bit more expensive, but I could eat a lot of vegetables, so it's not a problem!

I wonder if lunch on a holiday at Hatsushabu is not cheap? All-you-can-eat Iberico pork and beef for around 2,400 yen?

I always take my toddler with me. The staff is always polite and kind. It's great that toddlers eat for free. I will continue to come here. The food is delicious, cheap, and satisfying. Recently, it seems they are welcoming tourist buses from overseas, so there are many foreign visitors. There are fewer Japanese people, so it feels like being in a foreign country. It's a shame that they always eat quietly.

I stopped by because I was curious. I entered right before closing time, so I was in a rush and ended up eating quickly. I ordered pork belly shabu-shabu. It was nice that you could choose the broth and there were plenty of vegetables. The pork belly for all-you-can-eat did not disappoint my expectations. I shouldn't have high expectations for all-you-can-eat (lol), but I ate like crazy so I was full without feeling heavy. If I have any suggestions, I wish they had prepared a strainer with water at the beginning for removing scum, and the ponzu sauce was too salty... really salty. Next time, I want to take my time and enjoy it.
