Shabu-shabu is a Japanese hot pot dish, named after the sound made when thinly sliced meat is swished through hot broth.  

It is a winter favourite in our home, loved its simplicity and fresh flavours.

Seasonal vegetables are cooked in a light kombu dashi（kelp broth), and thinly sliced pork is briefly swished through the soup until just tender, allowing the natural flavors to come together.

Shabu-shabu is enjoyed with refreshing ponzu sauce and our home-made yuzu-kosho.  To finish, enjoy zosui, a comforting Japanese-style risotto made with the remaining soup. 

The pork comes from a long-established speciality butcher in Asakusa.

Afterwards, experience an authentic tea ceremony.

As a practitioner trained in the Urasenke Chado tradition over 30 years, I will prepare matcha for you, and guide you in making your own bowl. Unlike a tourist-style performance, this is a genuine moment of hospitality and tradition.
