I ordered the Beef Tongue & Domestic Beef All-You-Can-Eat Course (4,509 yen). I chose the "Lemon Herb broth" to go with the beef tongue, and the "Authentic Sukiyaki broth" to go with the domestic beef. The all-you-can-eat menu included beef tongue, domestic beef, Iberico pork, beef tendons, pork shoulder, pork belly, chicken, and more. Orders were placed using a touch panel, and a cat-shaped robot delivered the food. It made me realize how times have changed. There was also a Korean fair with all-you-can-eat Chukumi (baby octopus), but I decided not to order it as I didn't think it would go well with the Lemon Herb or Sukiyaki broth. The beef tongue was thinly sliced and surprisingly good, so I ordered multiple plates. The Lemon Herb broth paired well with it and was delicious. The domestic beef was a bit tough, but the beef tendons were more tender and tasty. Out of curiosity, I also ordered some sushi. The slices were surprisingly thin, and I felt like I would get full from the rice. For dessert, there was soft-serve ice cream and canned fruits, which I enjoyed. Considering the price, it was a decent meal. Thank you for the meal.

◉Genre: Shabu Shabu ◉Area: Hirano area, Higashi-ku, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: 7 minutes by car from JR Yahata Station ◉Parking: Available ◉Credit card payment: Accepted ◉Number of visits: First visit ◉Number of reviews: 1st review On this day, I visited "Shabu Ha Kitakyushu Hirano Store" on a whim. ◇Exterior and Interior This shabu shabu restaurant is located in Hirano, Higashi-ku, Kitakyushu City. It is operated by the major restaurant group, Skylark, and is a shabu shabu specialty store originating from Yokohama. This store is a standalone large store, not a tenant outlet. ◇Seating There are probably around 100 seats. ◇Menu Structure Various courses are available, with different types of meat depending on the price. The basic option is a two-color hot pot, but for an additional fee, a four-color option is available, with all-you-can-drink included. The order I placed was as follows: - Exquisite Beef Tongue All-You-Can-Eat Course (3,849 yen) → Tax included. The order time is 100 minutes. This is the second-highest course at Shabu Ha, but without going into detailed reviews, it's best to say that it's as you would imagine... I focused on how to eat it deliciously. I'm not really concerned about quantity and "let's get our money's worth!" is not my mindset. I pursue originality... As a result, I used yuzu salt broth for the hot pot. I added udon noodles and cooked them until they were just right, then transferred them to a plate with a small amount of broth. Finally, I added curry to make curry udon. To be honest, it was the most delicious thing today. It was better than anything else. ◆Strong Points Let's enjoy it in our own way! ◆Service Average... In fact, they try to minimize the need for service. Serving is mostly done by robots. ◆Summary I hope this review wasn't too critical. According to information from someone who has worked in the kitchen at this restaurant, "This restaurant is very clean!" Well, I hope that's a given, but it's a bit tough that even the alcohol all-you-can-drink is self-service. Moreover, for a chain shabu shabu specialty store, the challenge is where to differentiate... The downside of this restaurant is that there are no sauces like ponzu on the table. In the end, this causes lines to form and becomes a waste of time. It's a bit of a hassle, so it might be better to have them on the table. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the famous "Shabuha" for the first time. There were various courses depending on the meat, and at first, I thought about choosing a course where I could taste beef and pork, but I decided on a course where I could eat pork, tsukune, and sushi because I didn't want to mix beef and pork. There was also an all-you-can-drink option for alcohol, but I ordered drinks separately. Everything is done via a touch panel. Vegetables, rice, noodles, curry, dipping sauces, and desserts are self-service. I chose white dashi and chicken soy sauce dashi for the soup. The broth was so flavorful that it was delicious even when drunk as is. I later found out that I could have gotten a refill of the broth, so I wished I had paid more attention. The meat was thin, tender, and delicious. There were many types of dipping sauces, and I personally liked the sesame sauce. Since it was shabu-shabu, it wasn't heavy, and I was satisfied with being able to eat a lot. The sushi was also good, but there were white rice, seaweed rice, and chirashi sushi available in the all-you-can-eat corner, so I realized later that I didn't need to order them separately. The staff were all very polite and professional, which left a strong impression on me.

As it is a chain store, all the stores look similar, but I feel that the taste and cost performance are better than the price. Especially, the all-you-can-eat course includes desserts, and the lunch on weekends has an 80-minute time limit (unlimited on weekdays), which I think is very reasonable. The vegetables are fresh and there are a decent variety of them. As someone who eats vegetables like a goat, this chain restaurant makes me want to visit regularly.

A place to go when you want to eat a lot for cheap and get full.
