Syabu-Yo — Restaurant in Tokyo

Japanese Chain shop "Shabu Shabu" style experience.

Shabu Shabu is the step when you drag a thin slice of meat through hot water three times.

You select up to four different flavored water types. (Yuzu, cheese fondue, etc)

You than take meat ( chicken, pork, beef etc), vegetables or other things and boil it in that hot water.

Let it boil and after a while take it out, and dip it into one of the sauces you prepared ( onion base sauce, sesame sauce etc).

The possible combinations are literally endless, so your experience is never the same twice.

You have a huge buffet style choice of vegetables,. sauces, dressings, desserts including soft ice cream puddings, Hot and cold drinks, rice, Udon, curry.

On top of that there are options like sushi etc. So there really is something for everyone.

It's definitely an experience ! Keep in mind it can get messy, but perhaps that is how it is...

Literally all you can eat in 2 hours. You can choose from different meat options in the beginning, which will be available non stop for the entirety of the time. Not the speak about the sheer mass of vegetables, noodles and sauces available to make the shabu shabu fitting exactly to your liking. I personally prefere to dip my stuff into a raw egg, its just fantastic! When ever you feel like you could eat until you explode, you should...

日曜日の夜に混むだろうと思い5時15分くらいに行きましたが、満席で約1時間待ち。 大人気なお店です。 席に着くまでに我々の後ろは16組待ちになってました。 あと一歩早ければ並ばず入れたかしら。。。

鍋は4種のセットにし、鴨コースを注文。 鴨肉と牛ミスジをメインにして食べました。 3人で行ったのですが食べたい鍋が異なるので4種類選べるの非常に便利。 私はすき焼き必須なのですが妻はあんまりとか色々あるので！

タレもたくさんありますがやっぱりスタンダードなポン酢のみで問題なし！

寿司も食べ放題でしたがお腹の余裕的にちょっとしか食べられず。。。

しかし、肉持ってきてくれるネコ型ロボットは相変わらず優秀！バイトを楽にしていることでしょう。うん。

We went on a Sunday evening, figuring it'd be crowded, so we arrived around 5:15 PM—but it was already packed, with about an hour wait.

This place is super popular.

By the time we got seated, there were 16 groups waiting behind us.

If we'd arrived just a bit earlier, maybe we could've gotten in without waiting...

We ordered the 4-variety hot pot set, along with the duck course.

We mainly enjoyed the duck meat and beef misuji.

We were a group of three, and since everyone wanted different types of hot pot, being able to choose four varieties was incredibly convenient.

I'm all about sukiyaki—it's a must for me—but my wife isn't a big fan, so it worked out perfectly for our varied tastes!

There are plenty of sauces available, but honestly, the standard ponzu was all we needed—no issues there!

Sushi was all-you-can-eat too, but we were so full that we could only manage a little bit...

That said, the cat-shaped robot that delivers the meat is as impressive as ever! It's probably making life a lot easier for...
