Although there are no rules for how to
eat Shabu Shabu, we will show you traditional way to enjoy it. |
|
|
 |
First thing you do is to make your own dipping sauces. We
serve two sauces, ponz and sesame sauce. Traditionally, ponzu is
for the vegetables and sesame sauce is for the meat, but use whichever you like. |
Add some yakumi to the sauces. We serve
several kinds of yakumi, like daikon (regular and spicy), sliced green
onion, garlic, and chili pepper. Find out your favorite combination of the
sources and the yakumi.

|
Second, start cooking with some
vegetables. We serve nappa cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, Japanese pumpkins, tofu,
baby bok choy, enoki mushroom, crythansmum leaf, broccoli, corn and green onions. |
 |
Cook Japanese pumpkins and carrots first,
because they take longer to cook. Then other vegetables. One more thing. When you
eat tofu, be careful because it is very hot. |
|
|
When the vegetables are ready, try ponzu
sauces. Ponzu sauce cools down the vegetables nicely. You'd better not to
put all the vegetables into the pot at one time because they might be overcooked.
|

|
 |
Next, it's time for some meat. Put a slice of meat in the boiling
broth. Then gently swish the meat back and forth. You may hear "swish
swish" like sound. The name "Shabu Shabu" comes from this
sound. As soon as the beef turns the color, it's ready. |
Pork and chicken may take longer. Try the
sesame sauce for the meat.
|
|
|
After finishing vegetables and meat, it's time for either Udon
or Ramen.
| If you choose udon noodles,
cook udon with the pot approximately 1-2 minutes. Then enjoy it with ponzu or sesame
source whichever you like. Adding fresh yakumi to the sources may be a good idea. |
 |
If you choose ramen noodles, our server will cook it
for you because there is special sauce for ramen noodles.
|
|
|
At
the end, vanilla ice cream and mini iced coffee will
be served. (Chocolate syrup for the kids.) One popular way to finish them is to pour
the iced coffee over the vanilla ice cream. |
