Shabusen

Cool spot in the heart of Ginza for shabu-shabu or sukiyaki. My heart skipped a beat when I first saw Shabusen. Such a cool concept. Diners seated at a counter. Staff behind the counter bringing refills of rice and green onions or topping up my tea cup.

Lunch starts at 2,200 yen ($15) for the basic pork and beef (50 grams each) shabu-shabu with a plate of vegetables and the dipping sauces – sesame and ponzu. Staff attentive and friendly. I asked her if she would come home with me to help with hot pots in our home. 🤣

Busy shop. Half locals and half tourists. Already plotting my return to try the sukiyaki.

Shabusen is part of the Zakuro restaurant chain, famous for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. This is the family restaurant version of the high-end Zakuro.
