However, we cannot ignore Sabu sabu hotpot – hot pot dish is considered the best hot pot dish in Japan. At Suehiro restaurant (Osaka, Japan), Sabu Sabu hot pot was first introduced in the early twentieth century. Have you ever wondered why this hot pot dish is called Sabu Sabu? According to Toidi, Shabu Shabu sounds when dipping meat in a pot of boiling hot pot, so this dish is called Sabu Sabu hot pot. Japanese people love this dish because its taste is very suitable for Japanese taste and very nutritious.
The hot pot is divided into two parts, one side of the hot pot will have a spicy taste, the other side will have a lighter taste for those who cannot eat spicy. However, Japanese cuisine has historically been famous for its frugality. Even if it is spicy hot pot, you do not need to worry too much if you are a person who cannot eat spicy, because the spicy taste is only kept at a bar level, not harsh. The special feature of this dish is the blend of fish meal and fresh beef. All have made the hot pot dish attractive and popular.
