shabumaru | japanese hotpot

Japanese Hot Pot is a unique change of pace; the dining experience truly feels entirely different when you are cooking your own meal! 

The newly opened ShabuMaru is chic and elegant located in the Westin Copley Place Hotel, offering traditional shabu-shabu style cuisine. Here, shiny white subway tiles and leafy-green live wall installations surround copper pot laden heavy wood tables and a three sided bar facing an open kitchen. 

Choose a chicken or a vegetable based broth and the servers will to cater to your boiling soups water temperature so it is just right for cooking your razor-thin meats. Choose from certified Miyazaki Waygu beef or Korobuta pork belly and sushi-grade salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. These are complimented by a choice of rice or noodles, a mini tin bucket of fresh vegetables, plus signature condiments - a ponzu citrus-based soy sauce and a creamy sesame sauce. A selection of table-side condiments also await: garlic paste, scallions, daikon puree and chili oil will ensure a full and spicy flavor profile. Hotpot is all about designing taste sensations to suit your own palette. Everything was tasty, the one personal exception is that I preferred to eat the sushi grade fish raw! Still they pair wonderfully with the hot soups and a cold sake or a Sapporo.
