  1. That looks so delicious! I visited Tokyo a few years ago during winter and I really loved Shabu Shabu. I will definitely have to try out this recipe. I’m sure it will remind me of the time I visited Japan. Thank you!

    Looks amazing! I want to try this when the weather gets colder. Do you have a preference for the type of meat you use in this hot pot? Chicken/pork or perhaps seafood?

    • Thank you! I usually use chicken thigh and thinly sliced pork belly. But after reading your comment, I’m thinking like white fish could go well with the broth, and if I use bone in chicken thigh, it may give the broth richer taste.
