Lightly cook the hakusai (Chinese cabbage), negi (Japanese leek), greens, enokitake (enoki mushrooms), maitake (hen-of-the-woods mushrooms), and shiitake mushrooms, then enjoy them with the pork. This shabu-shabu lets you enjoy the sweet fat and clean umami of Kagoshima kurobuta (Berkshire pork).

I’d had sukiyaki (Japanese hot pot) a few times, but I think this was my first time trying shabu-shabu (Japanese hot pot). The meat was lean with very little fat, so I could finish it all without feeling too heavy afterward lol. Good meat really gives you energy.

The meat is unbelievably thick. This is good quality meat. Sukiyaki can feel heavy on the stomach, but shabu-shabu (Japanese hot pot of swished meat) is light, so even rich meat like this goes down easily.
