I originally planned to have the Iwanaka pork belly shabu-shabu at Shabuzen Roppongi, but due to having tonkatsu for dinner the night before, I decided to switch to beef shabu-shabu instead. I ended up trying the limited-time three major Wagyu beef (Kobe beef, Omi beef, Matsusaka beef) comparison and a piece of Mazuda beef sirloin. I got off at Roppongi Station on the Hibiya Line and walked towards Tokyo Tower to reach Shabuzen Roppongi. It had been 17 years since my last visit in 2004, and the atmosphere of the restaurant had changed significantly. After being seated, I was served with water, appetizers of roast beef and fresh vegetables. The roast beef with raw onions and a slightly sweet sauce was delicious, and the fresh vegetables served in an ice-filled container looked refreshing. Dipping the vegetables in the special sauce enhanced the flavor even more. Soon, the comparison of Omi beef, Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef rib roast, Mazuda beef sirloin, vegetables, rice, ponzu sauce, sesame sauce, chili oil, and grated garlic were brought to my table, and I enjoyed the shabu-shabu. I tried the rib roast of Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, Omi beef, and the sirloin of Mazuda beef in that order. Matsusaka beef rib roast had the best silky texture, while all meats had a rich umami flavor that was hard to rank. The vegetables included two types of mushrooms, tofu, kuzukiri, and Chinese cabbage, providing a variety of options. The finishing udon had a unique light green color. For dessert, I had vanilla ice cream with a creamy texture and rich sweetness that was excellent.

I was taken to a company dinner where we had shabu-shabu. It had been a while since I last had shabu-shabu, but the meat was delicious. The bottle of barley shochu had a beautiful shape and color, and it was easy to drink when mixed with soda. It might have been good even without mixing it.

This is my first visit to the Roppongi branch since it moved in the past. I ordered the all-you-can-eat course with black wagyu beef, and I'm happy that the course includes lean meat as I can't eat as much as I used to when I was younger. The quality of the meat and the dipping sauces remain the same as before, consistently delicious. The all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu is my personal favorite recommendation.

I visited this restaurant on the evening of March 18, 2023. I have been going to this restaurant regularly for a few years now. They offer all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, and sometimes I just crave it like the catchphrase of a certain famous restaurant. There are many shabu-shabu and sukiyaki restaurants out there, ranging from affordable options to more expensive ones, but this restaurant may not fall into the cheap category. However, considering the quality of the meat, the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the overall satisfaction, the price seems worth it. I will continue to visit this place regularly.

★I used it for lunch with my Roppongi family. It's delicious even with all-you-can-eat, and it's recommended because it's easy to talk in a private room. In the Iidabashi area, even on Sunday afternoon, there are foreigners drinking alcohol, so if you are walking with your family, it's best not to pass by the Don Quijote area. Thank you for the meal ☺︎

The restaurant is a bit far from the station, but it has a nice atmosphere. I chose this place with my friends because we wanted to eat shabu-shabu. It's a great place to experience Japanese culture with delicious wagyu beef shabu-shabu and sukiyaki that you can only eat in Japan. The amazing thing about this place is that they offer all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink plans for wagyu beef shabu-shabu. The quality of the meat is high and the plan is cost-effective. If you get tired of it, you can pay extra. We also had sukiyaki this time. We ate rib roast, thigh, and pork belly with ponzu, sesame, and dipping sauce. The rib roast melted in the mouth and was delicious. The thigh meat was thinly sliced and not too firm. The pork belly went well with the dipping sauce. The sukiyaki was also delicious with the same meat. My friends also enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

They have private rooms and it seems versatile for various occasions. Definitely worth a try. @eating.tour #ShabuZen #ShabuShabu #RoppongiGourmet #PrivateRoom #Sukiyaki #JapaneseFood #Foodie #MeatLover #MeatLoversUnite #Hospitality #HospitalityFood #Wine #NonAlcoholic #JapaneseCuisine #Wagyu #RecommendedForDates #LikeForLikes #LikeForFollow #Instagood #Happy #EatingAround #FoodPorn #Japan #Tokyo #Roppongi #ShabuShabu #Wagyu #JapaneseFood #Sukiyaki

On a day when the temperature soared, going out for lunch felt like a challenge in itself. We decided to visit Shabuzen, a nearby restaurant recommended by a colleague. The restaurant had a spacious layout with private, semi-private, and open seating options. The lunch menu offered a variety of udon and set meals at reasonable prices. I ordered the curry udon set, while my colleague chose the tantan don set. The dishes were served promptly, accompanied by side dishes, salad, and a choice of coffee or dessert (ice cream). The creamy sesame curry udon I had was flavorful and satisfying, with a nice balance of creaminess and spiciness. The udon noodles were thick and had a good texture, although they were slightly softer than I prefer. The tantan don was a unique twist on the classic dish, with a tasty sesame sauce over minced meat on rice. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, and the peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant made it a pleasant dining experience. Considering the quality of food and service, the price of 1,000 yen including tax seemed reasonable. I look forward to returning to Shabuzen in the future, especially on hot days when a quiet place to enjoy a meal is much appreciated.

The restaurant had a spacious interior with private rooms, making it a relaxing place for families. The service was great and the atmosphere was welcoming. They offer both sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, and the beef shabu-shabu was incredibly delicious. They also have all-you-can-eat options. I highly recommend this place, especially for families.

Indulge in carefully selected meats and seasonal vegetables at this specialty store with 35 years of history, accompanied by our prideful sauce, for the ultimate dining experience. At Shabuzen, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat high-quality black wagyu beef until you are satisfied. Our sukiyaki at Shabuzen is cooked by first grilling green onions and onions, then adding the beef and sauce, creating a delicious aroma and sizzle throughout the restaurant. When you mix the sauce with the beef and dip it in our special eggs, you can savor the luxurious moment of the beef's flavor perfectly complementing the sauce-infused egg. Indulge in the extravagant sukiyaki all-you-can-eat experience unique to Shabuzen.

Last Saturday, I became a lunch refugee in Mokki and one of the restaurants my friend recommended was this place. Of course, it's not my first visit because it's an old establishment, but I never knew lunch here was such a great deal. So, last week I went to a different place, but this week I decided to come here because I was curious. The fried chicken set meal is exactly 1000 yen. They also have beef bowl sets and curry sets, but my friend insisted that the fried chicken set was the best. And indeed, when they told me I could have unlimited rice refills, I thought the fried chicken was a great deal. Even if they offered unlimited rice refills with the beef bowl or curry, it wouldn't be the same. Now, about the taste, it was as expected from a meat shop. The chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It was delicious. The last time I came here was probably about ten years ago with my older sister and younger sister. It brought back nostalgic memories as I ate.

The last time I had the fried chicken set meal and it was amazing. This time, I decided to try the beef bowl. Unfortunately, the beef bowl was disappointing. It lacked flavor... Did they forget to put the sauce on it? There was no sauce at all... The rice was completely plain, not even a drop of sauce soaked into it. The meat was decent quality, with a good taste on its own. But the onions were still raw and spicy, and the dish overall lacked flavor... My companion had the curry, which was okay in terms of taste (although it only had one piece of meat). Overall, I would say it was average. But I would recommend avoiding the beef bowl.

Wow, I was so surprised! This fried chicken set meal is exactly 1,000 yen!? They even let me use a big table by myself, I feel kind of guilty. The staff were so nice in their kimonos, I was so impressed! The fried chicken is delicious!!! As they say, stick to what you're good at, and this place sure knows how to cook chicken! The chicken was juicy and flavorful! The sesame ice cream was also delicious! Truly, Shabuzen knows how to make a great sesame sauce. I managed to write this without using Kansai dialect today. Smile 😊

I went to a restaurant in Roppongi, Tokyo with two friends. We reserved a table and ordered the following: "Luxurious all-you-can-drink and three kinds of all-you-can-eat course for 10,500 yen (black wagyu rib roast, black wagyu lean meat, Iwajyu pork belly or loin, assorted domestic vegetables). We started with a dish of spinach and chrysanthemum. The all-you-can-eat option was very cost-effective and delicious (*^^*). Instagram: hide06_21. I have been writing food reviews on Tabelog since March 2021. My nickname is Hanchou. I like going to many restaurants."

This is a photo, but I forgot to take a picture of the most important part - the meat (laughs). It's been about 7 years since I last visited Roppongi Shabuzen, maybe the third time. The interior seemed to have changed quite a bit. It was mostly private rooms this time. The female staff in traditional Japanese attire are still there and take good care of you. However, I feel like in the beginning they used to cook the meat for you... this time they didn't. The all-you-can-eat black Wagyu beef for 9,000 yen with a 2,400 yen all-you-can-drink option totals to around 11,000 yen per person. It's a decent price if you can eat and drink a lot, considering the atmosphere as well. For those who eat less, there may be other options at this price point. But if you want lots of meat, decent quality, good service, and a nice atmosphere, it's easy to see why this restaurant has been popular for so long.

I had the 7200 yen all-you-can-eat course. You can eat beef, pork, and beef tongue! All of them were tender and for this price, getting such good meat is really worth it! The finishing noodles were delicious. They have wakame mixed in, giving them a light green color. The aroma was really nice! I want to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

It's been quite a while since I visited. Today, I ordered the rib roast (120g) shabu-shabu and snow crab course with 6 dishes. The course includes 2 appetizers, crab chawanmushi, crab claw fry, snow crab shabu-shabu, rib roast shabu-shabu, assorted vegetables, somen noodles, and dessert. The content of the course was very satisfying. The meat was tender and delicious. Hmm, I feel happy. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for the first time because my friend often goes there. I was surprised to find out that they offer all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. Normally, all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu places have cheap quality meat, but here they serve high-quality, not too fatty meat for all-you-can-eat. We chose the abalone course, which came with tempura, chawanmushi, and abalone steak before the shabu-shabu. Just that alone filled us up. Then we started with the shabu-shabu, where we could enjoy both beef and pork. It was great that vegetables were also all-you-can-eat. The meal ended with somen noodles and dessert. I chose the abalone course this time, but considering the amount of meat I want to eat, a cheaper course would be enough for me. I am so happy with the all-you-can-eat option at this price. I would like to come back next time for a girls' night out or someone's birthday party.

Today, I went to a shabu-shabu lunch where you can eat all-you-can-eat domestically produced marbled beef for only 3980 yen (excluding tax), which is usually 6980 yen (excluding tax). At this price, it's worth it, but I wouldn't pay 6980 yen. The meat had a lot of fat and was delicious, but eating it too much can get boring and cause heartburn. There wasn't much variety, only one type of meat. We finished with some kishimen noodles.

If you're looking for all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, this is the place to go. The second from the top rib roast is exquisite. I'm not sure how it compares to lean meat or domestic beef, but the cost performance of the rib roast is excellent. I've been to many shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat places, but this one is quite well done.

There is both shabu-shabu and sukiyaki available here. They also offer crab, sea urchin, and other options in case you're unsure of where to go. Both the sesame sauce and ponzu sauce for the shabu-shabu are delicious. As for the sukiyaki, I like the one here. It's tasty, cost-effective, and the restaurant is spacious - a safe choice! (laughs)
