Shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant located right by the south exit of Kokura Station. The lunch buffet is unlimited time for only 1190 yen, which is very cheap. They also have options for all-you-can-eat for under 1000 yen for 60 minutes. The restaurant is clean and they require customers to wear masks and gloves in the self-service area. There is a corner where you can make your own waffles, which was surprisingly delicious and fluffy. The curry was also tasty. The vegetables were fresh and I enjoyed my meal. I would definitely go back when I want to eat a lot.

I watched the TV and decided to visit this restaurant. Even though it was before noon, the place was crowded with customers. The restaurant had implemented COVID-19 measures from the entrance all the way inside. It was a bit of a hassle to put on plastic gloves when getting vegetables and rice, but I understood that it was necessary. Despite that, my child seemed to be enjoying themselves. The dessert options like shaved ice, waffles, and rice cakes were fun to customize and plate. It was a bit short on time, but I hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Unlimited shabu-shabu leaves with no time limit, enjoy plenty of shabu-shabu and vegetables, and finish with soft serve ice cream. It's a really great system because you can take your time enjoying coffee. The broth options include traditional Japanese and sukiyaki, and the vegetables like leeks, shimeji mushrooms, and thinly sliced daikon were delicious. You can choose your favorite dipping sauce and there are various condiments like Japanese, Chinese, and spicy flavors, but I haven't tried many yet. I enjoyed eating slowly until I was full, thank you for the meal.

The yuzu salt dashi was delicious! ♥

My friends treated me to dinner at a steakhouse on the 8th floor for my upcoming birthday. Unfortunately, it was crowded and we had to wait. We decided to try the all-you-can-eat option with 4 types of meat, cooked in kombu and soy milk broth. Sushi and fish balls were only available in the evening, which was disappointing. Oh well! It came with a drink bar, but the options seemed limited. The variety of vegetables for the all-you-can-eat option was also lacking. The lettuce was recommended, but it seemed to be cut too small. There were 5 types of sauces, with the ponzu being quite sour! The dashi broth was weak. Luckily, the soy sauce for sushi on the table improved the flavor. The sesame sauce was the most delicious. The meat was average. It was hard to tell if the meat was cooked properly in the soy milk broth! Also, it took quite a long time for the broth to boil, even though the heat was on the strongest setting. The soft-serve ice cream was tasty. There was cold ochazuke, but it was said to be bland. They also had curry, but I didn't try it. I think I'll only go once. Thank you for the meal!

Shabuha JR Kokura Station, a glass-walled brand new building located just a 1-minute walk from the south exit. A casual shabu-shabu restaurant affiliated with the Skylark group, with branches nationwide. They serve lunch from 11 am to 4 pm (60-minute limit on weekends and holidays) and dinner from 4 pm to 12 am (100-minute limit every day), with no regular holidays. The restaurant opened in October last year, so the place is clean and well-maintained. I visited the restaurant for dinner on a Saturday at 6:30 pm with a friend after work. The place was very crowded, with customers waiting for seats. Luckily, I made a reservation through Hot Pepper, so we had our seats secured. We were seated by the window in a booth-like area, but there were also seats that felt more like private rooms. Upon entering, there was a corner with vegetables, rice, condiments, sauces, desserts, and drinks. The menu showed that lunch prices range from 1,199 to 2,699 yen (excluding tax), and dinner prices range from 1,599 to 3,099 yen. The prices vary depending on the combination of pork, beef, or sushi (dinner only). During dinner time, there is also an all-you-can-eat option for tsukune (meatballs). They have pricing for elementary school students as well. The hot pot ingredients include various vegetables, tofu, noodles, and gyoza wrappers. They also offer a variety of rice dishes, sauces, and condiments. For dessert, they have soft serve ice cream, waffles, shaved ice, and zenzai, along with various drinks. I opted for the HD Pork Loin Course (with a broth change) for 1,835 yen, and with a 5% discount using a coupon, the total came to 1,970 yen including tax. It's an all-you-can-eat experience, so you can enjoy as much as you want within the 100-minute time limit. I focused on pork loin, while my friend enjoyed the meatballs. We had a variety of vegetables and tried different broths, including Amani and olive oil lemon dashi, and spicy miso dashi. Overall, it was a fun and affordable shabu-shabu experience with a wide variety of ingredients and a good atmosphere. The drink bar was reasonably priced and had a good selection. The restaurant seemed popular among young people and families, especially on Saturdays. It might be quieter on weekdays if you prefer a more peaceful dining experience. The service was prompt in adding more meat when requested, although there were some shortages of vegetables. It's the only shabu-shabu restaurant in front of Kokura Station, and it's popular among young people and families for good reason.

I went with my friends ✨ There are 6 courses available, and this time we tried the popular course! The popular course includes meat and sushi (๑>◡<๑) Vegetables, desserts, and shabu-shabu sauce are available in a buffet style, so please help yourself ♡ The one in the picture was around 4500 yen for 2 servings! Please go and check it out! ♡

I went to Shabuya for the first time. I ordered the basic kombu dashi and spicy black pepper flavor with the three-tiered pork course. You can choose from a variety of condiments like yuzu pepper and garlic to create your own dipping sauce. This is great! I went with another person and I ordered the all-you-can-drink option for men for 1500 yen. It was great to be able to choose your own drinks at the drink corner and enjoy 120 minutes of all-you-can-drink. I tried making a porridge with kombu dashi as the finishing touch. It was delicious.
