Best Seasonal Restaurants in Yokohama

Our first time with shabu shabu and our experience could not have been better. A little difficult to find, but you are welcomed with a big smile and wonderful service. Excellent menu choices, we went with one of the Wagyu beef and one with pork. Multiple courses for both. Appetizers/starters are wonderful then we came to the main course for shabu shabu. It took a few minutes to cook the vegetables and they were delicious. When we added the meats, it would only take a few seconds to deliver a very tasty morsel. Two dipping sauces – we both favored the sesame, which was delicious. After dinner, the rice porridge was an excellent treat, all topped off with homemade ice cream. Excellent menu with meal choices, wine, whiskey, and beer choices, and absolutely terrific service. I’m not sure if we can find another shabu shabu that is better but if you are in Tokyo, you must come here!

Food very good. Portions a bit on the small side, but typical for Japan. Friendly helpful service.

Wonderful meal from wonderful hosts. This was a nice way to have an informal, home-cooking style of kaiseki dinner. I love the concept. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating of some dietary restrictions from one in our party. Food is prepared on an open counter so you get to see the cooks’ handiwork. Menu is vegetables oriented but not pure vegetarian (though ordering only vegetarian options looks feasible). The setting is not elegant or romantic but matches the spirit of the healthy food.
