Hitsuji no Yu (CLOSED)

In Tokyo’s bustling district Shibuya you can enjoy a slightly different take on the country’s ever-popular shabu shabu hot pot dish. Usually served with beef or pork meat, Hitsuji no Yu's version comes with thin slices of lamb meat, which can be cooked directly at the table by lightly swishing the meat in a hot dashi soup. Besides shabu shabu, guests can also enjoy sukiyaki which features a more flavourful broth, and a hot pot dish that lets you boil the lamb together with medicinal herbs for a healthly alternative – course menus start from ¥3,580.

If you’re looking for a more wallet-friendly price, head on over between 5pm and 7pm, when the restaurant offers a bargain all-you-can-eat lamb shabu shabu course for just ¥2,980.
