Located next door to Yakiniku Gyubei is Royal Shoji’s second concept, Shabu Shabu Sumire An, which brings us the beloved Japanese hotpot experience. Shabu Shabu Sumire An also offers a highly competitive lunch deal, allowing guests to choose from options like Pork Belly, US Beef Chuck Roll, US Strip Loin, or Wagyu Beef Chuck Eye Roll. In addition to 1 serving of main protein, diners can enjoy unlimited servings of rice, noodles, vegetables, and desserts — all within a 60-minute time limit. This all-you-can-eat experience is a great option for those looking to indulge in a hearty lunch.
During our visit, we also tasted the Hokkaido Silky Pork Belly featured on their dinner menu. The pork had a remarkably clean taste that I thoroughly enjoyed. The chef thoughtfully paired it with Konbu Dashi to allow us to fully appreciate the high quality of the pork. While the pork was undeniably excellent, I found the Konbu Dashi too light for my preferences.
Not to worry though, guests can choose their preferred two soups from a selection of six options – Signature Black Sesame-based Spicy Soup, Kombu Dashi, Spicy Miso Dashi, Soy Milk Dashi, Chicken Broth Dashi, and Tomato Dashi.
The vegetable counter offers a wide selection of vegetables to cook in your hotpot, including my favourite- pumpkin!
There were also somen noodles paired with a hot dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. I recommend adding some yuzu kosho and spring onions into the sauce for a refreshing citrusy kick.
To end, there is also a dessert counter with a small selection of fresh-cut fruits and some ice creams.
Whenever you’re in the mood for Japanese hotpot, Shabu Shabu Sumire An is a good option for those seeking comforting, quality Japanese dining experiences at accessible price point.
