I really enjoy beef shabu, especially with sukiyaki broth. Yesterday I went to Shabu Nashi, a restaurant that describes itself as authentic Japanese-style shabu. They offer several types of beef, but this time I chose a set with Kuroge Wagyu A4 and Kurohana Wagyu A5.
The set came with cos lettuce salad, a skewered quail egg (so delicious that I ordered another one), one plate of beef, rice, a vegetable set, and granita ice cream. For the sukiyaki set, they also provide raw egg for dipping, but no sauce.
They have quite a few tempting appetizers as well. I tried the gyoza, which was coated in a glaze that was sweet, sour, and savory all at once — crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. I also ordered the Kurohana Yukke, topped with an edible raw egg. I even asked them to show me the eggs — the shells came in different colors, which was pretty cool!
