Sichuan-style shabu shabu chain restaurant Ken Gosho from China has opened its first location in Japan just outside the hustle and bustle of Takadanobaba station. Pick from tomato, ginger, and red hot spicy soup broths, then add in your choice of ingredients like coriander, chili, spices and oil to create your perfect hot pot.
As for meat, there are the classic pork (¥590) and beef slices (¥690) and even lamb (¥590), but you can add all kinds of more exotic meat to your custom shabu shabu, including duck gizzards (¥520) and pig brains (¥690). There's also a wide selection of veggies including mushrooms, lotus root and chinese cabbage (¥690), as well as deep fried tofu (¥390) and duck blood jelly.
If the hot pot isn’t enough, order some classic side dishes including the mala spare ribs (¥690) and sichuan-style chicken feet (¥490), and maybe a bowl of iced rice dumplings (¥520) topped with fruit for dessert too.
