Osaka, Japan｜Shabutei Nishi Umeda

Found this shabu shabu restaurant purely by accident. They had no tables for dinner until 9pm which we decided to take. There is a large window display of the sesame grinder used to make their special sesame sauce. It is a cosy restaurant with table and counter seating. The beef and pork are both excellent quality. Service is very good. English menus are available. 100% recommend this restaurant.

The food is surprisingly sooo good. I didn’t expect that much from this tiny hotpot restaurant. Btw, I ordered a pork n beef set, including a shot of sake, miso soup udon n ice cream. N I highly recommend u to get a premium beef at least once in a lifetime! N the waitrees’ there r hospitable. Shout out to the red ponytail waitrees, who was very friendly to me!! Ps. The price is reasonable tho…

OK, English speaking tourist, you're in luck with this place. Not only is it excellent it is also friendly to foreign tourists by providing an English menu. We ordered the premium beef and it came very well marbled and thin to make the meat so tender it melted in our mouths. I would recommend the all-you-can-drink option as long as you think you will drink 3 or more drinks. Food can be set. If you are a big eater and drinker then opt for both all-you-can food and drink options.
