"Wagyu" (Japanese beef) motsu are used for the soup. Clearly, they do not compromise on the quality of the ingredients!

At this restaurant, you can choose from "miso flavor", "soy sauce flavor" or "mizutaki (chicken broth) flavor" for your motsunabe. Stefi and Ayu chose the most popular "miso flavor" which consists of several types of misos including "kyushu miso" and "saikyo miso"! You can ask for add-ons while eating so it's a nice ordering method for someone who craves more! Enjoy the flavorful soup that brings out the full flavor of the motsu and vegetables in the pot and feel free to add champon noodles at the end of the meal!

Enjoy various toppings in the pot including motsu (beef intestine), nira chives, cabbage, burdock, tofu and etc. with rich and savory soup！

Stefi Stefi: It was my first time trying motsunabe. At first I thought: "Am I going to like this?", but turns out the motsu was very tender and there were a lot of other ingredients as well! Even the vegetables were packed with the rich flavor of the broth so it was really flavorful! I was convinced when we were told back in the days the locals would eat motsunabe to build more stamina!

Ayu Ayu: The nira chives were the best! It was my first time having miso flavored motsunabe, the motsu and the broth are a perfect combination. The soup was super rich and tasty!

So tender and yummy! The Japanese beef tongue steak is also a specialty of the house!
