Shabu Shabu Dinner

Kyoto

Overview

Pre-booking required

Highlights:

  • Enjoy a classic Shabu Shabu hot pot
  • Interactive, communal dining
  • All-you-can-eat experience with traditional accompaniments

Japanese dining traditions are enjoyed at their most sociable over this classic Shabu Shabu dinner. This much-loved hot pot dish features delicately sliced meat and bite-sized vegetables, gently cooked in a fragrant, steaming broth at the centre of the table. Its playful name comes from the “swish swish” sound made as ingredients are stirred through the bubbling pot with chopsticks.

Seated together, everyone cooks and dines at their own pace, creating a relaxed, communal atmosphere. The ingredients are paired with traditional dipping sauces, including rich sesame and refreshing ponzu — a blend of soy sauce and citrus — allowing you to tailor each mouthful to your taste.

Offered in an all-you-can-eat style, the experience includes Japanese appetisers, rice, and a selection of Japanese beers and sake. Vegetarian options are available, ensuring everyone can enjoy this comforting and convivial meal.
