I had hot pot for the first time here, and I was impressed by how delicious it was. I tried many other places, but I still like this one the best. Both the spicy and plain soup bases have a rich flavor of herbs and spices that make it delicious until the last bite. They also often have promotions like half-priced beer and meal vouchers, which adds to the value.

In the past, the cheapest course used to be 2980 yen, but it has increased in price. I like the taste, but if you add alcohol and extra meat, it becomes a high-end restaurant compared to others... a bit disappointing. However, the taste is definitely good. The Ginza branch was still beautiful as always.

Due to illness, the mysterious etiquette group "Meitei-ryu" had suspended activities for a while, but they recently held an official practice session. The group gathered in a private room isolated from the outside world, and enjoyed a hot pot meal with various ingredients and seasonings, including Togarashi and Chinese medicinal herbs, which are good for men. The leader of the group, Aoshima Yukio, decided that during the summer they would have hot pot meals, and everyone gathered around the pot, ordered their own ingredients, indulged in silly conversations, and ate heartily. They enjoyed Budweiser or Hoegaarden beer with their meal, as part of a special promotion at the restaurant. Despite some criticism, they continued to enjoy their meal and the lively atmosphere of the restaurant. For more details about the specific ingredients, please refer to the accompanying photos or comments.

Little Sheep Hot Pot Ginza. When it comes to hot pot, Tianxiang Huimei is well-known, but in China, Little Sheep is overwhelmingly popular. The mascot character of a sheep can be seen everywhere. It has become quite well-known in Japan as well. The hot pot comes in two colors, red soup and white soup. The soup contains Chinese herbs such as chili peppers, ginger, tang-kuei, and cumin. The white soup is a clear broth with the fragrance of cumin and a smooth texture that soothes the throat. The red soup is spicy, with the heat of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns making it addictive. The best flavor is a 2:1 ratio of white to red soup. The most cost-effective course is 3,890 yen and is satisfying enough. If going with a drinker, it's best to opt for the all-you-can-drink course. On this day, I got carried away and ordered mushrooms and vegetables as extras, along with wine and a few sours, which ended up costing me 8,000 yen (sweat).

After a long time, I had hot pot at Xiao Fei Yang in Ginza for the first time. I have been to Xiao Fei Yang in Shinjuku Kabukicho, Shibuya Center-gai, and Kichijoji before, but the Ginza store had the most chic interior. I had a two-color soup, with the spicy soup being very hot. I ordered a combination of lamb, mushrooms, and various vegetables. It was delicious eating the lamb and vegetables, and I worked up a sweat!

My gourmet friend took me to this hot pot restaurant and I have been back a few times since. The food is quite spicy but the balance of vegetables and meat is good. It really helped me recover from my hangover. The beer was also delicious!

Recently, it has gotten colder so I've been eating hot pot a lot. Haha, I've been going to Hai Di Lao all the time, so sometimes I crave Little Sheep. The soup at Little Sheep is delicious. But, even though I ordered a set course, there's not enough vegetables... I end up having to order extra. I also add frozen tofu. It's the same price as Hai Di Lao, but the quantity is different... only 4 pieces... haha. It's tasty, but you just have to accept it. I've been to various Little Sheep locations, but the one in Ginza always has disappointing customer service. Even modern Chinese people don't provide that kind of service... Not explaining the ingredients they bring and just suddenly placing them on the table, and forcing the dishes onto a table that's already full... It's completely different from the service at Hai Di Lao. No wonder Hai Di Lao is more popular even in China. Little Sheep's stores in Japan are closing one by one... hmm. I don't think I'll go to the Ginza location if I want to eat Little Sheep.

In the middle of Ginza, the entrance is a bit hard to find, so I wandered around the back and front, craving for lamb and game meat, and also missing hot pot season. I chose the hot pot course, which comes with the option to choose two-colored noodles for the finishing touch. The soup has various flavors mixed in, making it really delicious.

I went shopping in Ginza, planning to visit either UNIQLO or MUJI (well, it's always one of the two, haha). While they may be common elsewhere, the MUJI in Ginza has a lovely interior. Ginza was bustling with activity on the holiday I visited, haha. Since the seasons are changing, I decided to treat myself to some herbal cuisine at Xiao Fei Yang. This was my fourth visit, having been to their stores in Shibuya and Ikebukuro before. Here's what I ordered: - Dragon Highball (complimentary for adding a LINE friend): A highball made with Shaoxing wine, as recommended by a friend. It has a unique aroma and goes down smoothly. - Lamb Spare Ribs x2: Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The seasoning is not spicy but has a nice kick from the spices. - Assorted Mushrooms - Lamb Meat x2: I opted for regular lamb meat, which was delicious on its own. I personally prefer the spicy version. - Beef Tongue: Chewy with a delicate flavor. The clear broth is especially tasty. - Rice Soup: I ordered a mix of the spicy and clear broths a la carte. The spicy broth is rich with various herbs and spices, while the clear broth has a refreshing yet flavorful taste. After the meal, I felt warm and happy all over! I thought Xiao Fei Yang was lighter and more delicate compared to Hai Di Lao, which I found oily. I'd like to visit their Toyosu branch next time.

I went to a hot pot restaurant with my colleagues because the ingredients were half price. The individual ingredients seemed quite expensive, but the set courses were reasonably priced, so I thought the set course might actually be a better deal even with the half price promotion. The frozen tofu dish was delicious, and I also enjoyed the lamb, although I couldn't really tell the difference between the premium and regular lamb. I chose the mildest spiciness level for the hot pot, which turned out to be just right for me. Usually, you would expect to make your own sauce at a hot pot restaurant, but here they charged extra for the sauce, which was a bit disappointing.

It was an exquisite hot pot. This is perfect for winter. It warms up the body, provides plenty of vegetables and protein from the meat, and most importantly, the garlic is delicious. I particularly loved the soft and tender garlic at the end. *Garlic is a food to be careful not to eat too much of. There are two types, but I definitely prefer the spicier one. However, ordering a separate dipping sauce for flavor adjustment adds a deeper taste. My companion was amazingly good at adjusting flavors, so we were able to enjoy various taste variations. The service aspect was a bit lacking, perhaps due to a lack of Japanese language skills, as the dishes were served a bit slowly and there was a lack of hospitality, but I guess it's just a cultural difference. However, the taste was outstanding. I might want to eat it every day haha. Thank you for the meal.

[Little Fat Sheep Ginza Store] ★ Tabelog rating: 3.08 ♦ Business hours [Mon-Fri] 17:00-23:30 (Last order 22:30) [Sat-Sun-Holidays] 11:30-23:30 (Last order 22:30) Open on Sundays ♦ Closed on No scheduled holidays ♦ Nearest station Ginza Pursuing the basic concept of Chinese food "food is medicine," the soup is blended with dozens of Chinese medicinal ingredients. Only those who have been given the title of "hot pot master" can make the hot pot soup at Little Fat Sheep. Located a 3-minute walk from Ginza Station on the 5th floor of the Ginza 269 Building. The interior concept is "Modern China," with numerous paintings on white walls and dim lighting, resembling restaurants abroad. I ordered the most basic Little Fat Sheep course due to its generous portion. I chose the mildly spicy white soup and spicy hot pot soup. For the finish, we ordered a mix of noodles and porridge (for 4 people). [Ordered menu] ♦ Little Fat Sheep Course 2980 yen First, the hot pot is brought out, with Chinese medicinal ingredients like leeks, jujube, garlic, longan, floating in the soup. Looking at the menu, it also contained ginger, tangshen, wolfberry, caoguo, danggui, and licorice, among others. This seems like it will warm you up from the inside! Soon, slices of lamb and chicken are brought out, thinly cut like shabu-shabu. Exciting! As we chat, the vegetables keep coming. Even though it's almost full, the dishes are served quickly! Cabbage, spinach, red core radish, nagaimo, red bell pepper, and pumpkin were cut into large pieces. Colorful and visually appealing. Additionally, my favorites like wood ear mushrooms, brown enoki, buna shimeji, and cotton tofu were included. Such a generous amount of meat and vegetables, a delightful menu for dieters. The soup quickly started boiling, and everyone began enjoying the shabu-shabu time! I'm lazy, so I quickly threw all the veggies and mushrooms into the soup! Or rather, all in!! With 4 people, someone will surely help out (laughs) For drinks, we toasted with herbal sangria (red)! First, we shabu-shabu the chicken in the white soup. The umami of the meat blends perfectly with the herbal soup! The vegetables and mushrooms can be eaten as is since the herbal soup has a strong flavor. Absorbing the essence of Chinese medicine, the vegetables disappear in the stomach. It feels like I'm getting all my daily vegetables in one go. For the spicy soup, even though it's mildly spicy, the heat that comes later is intense! Many people were coughing! But you can't stop, the addictive spiciness. My friend said she's a bit sensitive to the unique smell of lamb, but shabu-shabu in the spicy soup made it easier to eat. The volume is incredible. It gets quite challenging towards the end. We took a short break before eating the noodles, porridge, and almond tofu dessert. A fun time gathered around the hot pot. I love this kind of atmosphere. [Overall] The price is reasonable, and the portion is generous. Perfect for year-end parties. Recommended for girls' gatherings, dieters, and people who do strength training. One thing to be cautious about is the smell. Is it the scent of Chinese medicine? It doesn't linger until the next day, but it has a distinct smell, so it's better to go in casual attire if possible (laughs)

I visited a restaurant in Ginza that serves delicious Jingisukan hot pot, recommended by an acquaintance. It seems like they have several chain stores in Tokyo as well. I don't have many opportunities to eat Jingisukan or hot pot, so I was looking forward to it. Menu: - Xiao Fei Yang Course: 2,980 yen per person - Herbal Sangria (Red): 650 yen The interior of the restaurant is very stylish and luxurious, typical of Ginza. The smell of Jingisukan is strong, so if you're concerned about the smell sticking to your clothes, be careful. But once you're there, you just have to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the meal. The hot pot arrived with a lot of Chinese herbal medicine floating in it. Some of our group members even tried tasting it and made funny faces. Then, a generous amount of meat arrived - slices of lamb and chicken (which looked like pork loin at first glance). We cooked the meat in the hot pot and enjoyed the aroma and flavor. Of course, being a hot pot, the spiciness of the chili peppers followed. The taste was delicious, and the healthy aspect was appealing. The spices made our bodies feel warm. After the meat, a mountain of vegetables and mushrooms arrived, which we added to the pot and simmered. Eating hot pot together was delicious and made the conversation lively. The Herbal Sangria didn't have a strong herbal taste, more like a fruity wine. It was easy to drink and delicious. The prices are a bit on the higher side, so we couldn't order a lot, but we were able to enjoy a leisurely time until close to the last train. It was a fun and enjoyable dining experience. Overall, it was a healthy and delicious meal. Thank you for the feast!

It was simply delicious. I chose to have half clear broth and half medium-spicy soup, and even though the medium-spicy was a bit spicy, it was still within my tolerance level. The meat tasted much better with the medium-spicy chili soup. The clear broth was really tasty when sipped as a soup. I had a cold but I feel like I got better after having the spicy herbal soup. The dessert was a black sesame panna cotta and it was also very delicious. We had made a reservation and were seated at a secluded table in the back where we could relax. I think the location and atmosphere are great. It would be even better if there were coat hangers to prevent any lingering smells.

Once again, it's been a while since my last update. I went to Taiwan!! I'll be in Japan for August, so I can update a lot during that time. But I'll be escaping overseas again from September...hehe. Now, hot pot! Recently, hot pot has been a trend around me, and we go to eat it several times a month. I also went to eat hot pot in Taiwan (^_^;) Everyone wants to eat and become beautiful, huh? Hehe. Little Sheep is a restaurant loved by Chinese people in mainland China. The soup comes in two types: - Clear (White) Soup: A mild white soup with nourishing garlic, skin-friendly goji berries, vitamin C-rich jujubes, fatigue-reducing ginseng, and blood-boosting longan, among other Chinese medicinal spices. - Spicy (Ma La) Soup: A rich and spicy red soup with appetite-boosting chili peppers, stomach-friendly Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, jujubes, ginseng, and dozens of other medicinal spices. The spiciness can be adjusted to your liking. I prefer the clear soup at Little Sheep. It's delicious. I gulp it down. Among the many hot pot specialty shops, this place is cost-effective and easy on the wallet! It's recommended for when you want to eat a lot.

This is a restaurant in Ginza rather than Yurakucho that serves lamb shabu-shabu. They offer beef, pork, and lamb meat. It is safe to use IH cooking equipment and the tables are spacious. You can choose the level of spiciness from three options! Similar to Shabu-ya, you can choose from a variety of toppings and ingredients. Thank you for the meal! ^_^

Hot pot, which has become well-established as a popular dish in Japan, is one of my favorite types of hot pot dishes. Among them, Xiao Fei Yang is a chain restaurant with locations in Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Akasaka that I frequently visit. The spiciness of the broth adds to the deliciousness of the dish. The relatively affordable prices are also appreciated.

Visited the restaurant for a girls' night out. We decided to go for the basic hot pot course and add toppings of our choice (this time we added quail eggs, sausages, and a vegetable platter). We chose the mild spiciness level since one of the girls is not a fan of spicy food. The herbal soup base was really delicious! It was packed with garlic which made us feel energized! We started with mushrooms and vegetables, then moved on to cooking the meat. The lamb meat here was so good, no gamey taste at all! We couldn't resist ordering more of it. We enjoyed chatting in the beautiful restaurant while indulging in the hot pot. It was a great experience! We'll definitely be back soon!

A medicinal hot pot that I crave a few times a year, with a balance of mild white broth and spicy numbing flavor. The use of lamb helps prevent bloating. The lamb is not gamey and easy to eat, so even those who are not fans of lamb may want to give it a try. After eating, a slight sweat starts to form. My favorite part is the porridge at the end. By then, I have sweated quite a bit and stepping outside, the cold feels pleasantly refreshing. The next day, my skin feels firm and any shoulder stiffness is relieved. This is the most satisfying part.

The food is safe and delicious! There are stores everywhere, making it easy to use. My stomach is stuffed! 😂
