The shabu-shabu was perfectly marbled and delicious. The sesame dipping sauce was outstanding—truly exceptional! I could have enjoyed it on its own. The sauce also paired wonderfully with the udon noodles and made the rice porridge absolutely amazing. I was even tempted to buy a bottle of the sauce to take home.

First, the meat is grilled, then dipped generously in beaten egg. The flavor is distinctly soy sauce-forward. Although the beef is quite marbled, the fat is surprisingly light, making it easy to enjoy bite after bite. Absolutely delicious—it makes you crave a bowl of white rice! The udon noodles at the end of the meal are wonderfully chewy and satisfying.

At many restaurants, the quality of vegetables can be disappointing, but here, every vegetable is fresh and beautifully presented. That alone makes this place worth visiting. I enjoyed plenty of vegetables like komatsuna, napa cabbage, and bean sprouts. When dining out frequently, it's easy to miss out on vegetables, so this was a welcome change.
