This big shabu shabu counter on the eighth floor of the EXITMELSA shopping center was conveniently located right next to the metro station that we were headed to, so we stopped in for a lunch set, the cheapest of which featured a few slices of beef plus more slices of pork above (5 Chome−7−10, 03-3572-3806). And I was very happy with it, as I had forgotten how much I liked proper shabu shabu.
This was not just the quality of the meat (and we didn't even opt for the more expensive and nicely marbled beef that our neighbors ordered), but also the all of the seasonings, including a fermented tofu sauce mixed with raw negi that was so much better than the usual sesame stuff. It's been so long since I've had a shabu shabu broth that tasted like this, seasoned with just salt and pepper.
