My family and I recently traveled to Okinawa and were eager to try some authentic shabu shabu. We found a highly recommended restaurant in town and decided to give it a try. The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner, whose politeness and charm immediately set the tone for the evening.
As the meal began, we were served a variety of fresh ingredients, including thinly sliced meats, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful broth. The quality of the food was exceptional, and we savored every bite.

The other ingredients like goya, tofu, mushrooms, vegetables & soba are very fresh &...
