The meat is delicious

Very authentic Japanese hot pot, almost the same as the hot pot eaten in Japan. The emphasis is on healthy ingredients, fresh vegetables and meat that has been thawed to the temperature just right for the pot, which is definitely different from the unhealthy hot pot ingredients added to the table-top hot pot. The taste of Japanese curry is very authentic. If you don't want to eat, it is also a good try to add udon noodles or as a dipping sauce for meat. I personally think that the taste of beef is a bit ordinary, but the taste of pork is good. If you don’t have to eat beef, the CP value of ordering pork pot is actually higher.

Awesome value for lunch, I'd say just go for the basic set, as domestic pig is of very high quality. Given 90min but i only needed 80min to eat my fill. For those of you not used to mixing your own sauce, just ignore that table and dip your pot food straight into the excellent curry (little spicy). Don't miss the oily noodle after you've had your fill of the meat. Udon is too filling and the dry one is too chewy, so I'd ignore them. Vege seletions are good and the impressive water mist made everything look so fresh. I love the macha ice cream on offer, not too bitter. I like to put a layer of the sponge cake at the bottom, then drop the ice cream on top, incredible combo. The food were great, staff were quick and attentive so i really can't fault this visit. I hope they manage to make some money out of this and still be around when i next visit the city.
