5. Sabu Sabu Hot Pot - Osaka's famous dish
In Japan, hot pots such as Sukiyaki, salmon hot pot, and bean hot pot are very famous and popular. However, we can not ignore the Sabu Sabu hotpot - the hot pot is considered the best hot pot in Japan. At the Suehiro restaurant (Osaka, Japan), Sabu Sabu hot pot was first introduced in the early twentieth century. Have you ever wondered why this hot pot is called Sabu Sabu? According to Toidi, Shabu Shabu made a sound when dipping the meat into a boiling hot pot, so this dish is called Sabu Sabu hot pot. Japanese people love this dish because its flavour is very suitable for them and is very nutritious.
The hot pot is divided into two parts, one side of the hot pot will taste spicy, the other side will have a lighter taste for those who cannot eat spicy food. However, Japanese cuisine has historically been known for its frugality. Even if it's a spicy hotpot, you don't need to worry too much if you are someone who cannot eat spicy, because the spicy taste is only kept at a slight level, not too spicy. The special feature of this dish is the blend of fresh fish meal and beef, all make the hot pot more attractive and popular.
