Sister restaurant of Izumi Aitei. It has a nice and elegant atmosphere! I tried the luxurious shabu-shabu made with Matsusaka beef and black pork. You can choose from about 4 types of broth, and I ordered the most popular golden broth. The Matsusaka beef was beautifully marbled and very flavorful. In addition to shabu-shabu, they also serve tempura which I enjoyed dipping in salt. The only downside was the service. A young boy served us and seemed inexperienced. He was also serving other tables, so I wondered if he was the only staff available. It made me think that the issue lies more with the company's policy of having one person handle everything, rather than the boy himself.

It's been a while since I last visited! Still delicious (^ ^) I ordered a set and a few individual items. For those who haven't been, I would say "Just go and try it!!!" For those who have been, I would say "It's still great, right?!" The service from the staff is also good!!! I think the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. Personally, I find it attractive that it's located in a residential area rather than a bustling downtown area (^ ^)

Beef tongue shabu-shabu is available! It's a bit pricey but I would definitely come back!

Recommended shabu-shabu restaurant with a popular yakiniku restaurant, Izumi Aji Tei, across the street. Personally, I prefer shabu-shabu. The interior of the restaurant is quite cozy, with sunken kotatsu private rooms and semi-private table seats. I usually choose shabu-shabu or sukiyaki. I always order the set for shabu-shabu. The pork belly set is 1,890 yen, and the premium black wagyu rib roast is 3,150 yen, which is becoming a staple. You can choose from 4 types of broth: red, black, white, and golden. I have tried all of them, but I like the white broth the best. However, the most popular is the golden broth, which has a yuzu flavor. As the weather gets colder, the red broth might be a good choice, with a kimchi-like taste. The set comes with vegetables, rice, and pickles. You can also have the leftover rice made into porridge after the meal (egg costs 100 yen). If you order porridge, they will take the pot and bring it back as porridge. I prefer putting rice in the soup we were eating rather than having it made into porridge. The porridge they bring back is refined with less broth, so it's enjoyable. They have a wide variety of drinks and side dishes, making it a great place to relax. It used to be quiet, but lately, it's been busy due to various promotions. Especially during the winter season and year-end parties, it tends to get crowded. I visited after a long time and noticed that the manager had changed. Since it was cold, I ordered the red broth. This time, it was much spicier than before. If you can't handle spicy food, you might want to avoid it. The meat is delicious, the seats are cozy with private rooms, and the drink menu is extensive. It's perfect for a date. Sometimes it can be noisy due to parties, but it's usually fine on weekdays. You can get a milk pudding with a coupon from Hacoupon. I uploaded some pictures from previous visits.

This is a restaurant that offers very high-quality meat. They have four types of broth: golden, white, red, and black, all rich in flavor. They also provide various condiments such as yuzu pepper, chili oil, and grated radish to accompany the meat. Personally, I like to eat shabu-shabu meat with golden broth and salt condiment. They have a wide selection of drinks as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and the service is very pleasant. However, during a previous party I attended, after we had already enjoyed plenty of meat, sashimi and tempura suddenly appeared. And it seemed like they had forgotten about the tempura... Despite having made a reservation well in advance... I felt that a little more efficiency and attention to detail would have been nice.

My friends and I wanted to eat shabu-shabu, but our usual restaurant was full so we came here instead. They had a few different soup options for the shabu-shabu pot. The meat was okay, but the ponzu sauce wasn't as good as what you would find at a true specialty restaurant. Overall, it was a decent meal.

The restaurant has private rooms and a nice atmosphere, but it doesn't feel very luxurious. We ordered the most expensive shabu-shabu set for two. The quality of the meat was excellent, but it was cut quite thick, which may be a hit or miss for some people as it fills up the mouth during shabu-shabu. It might be a bit too intense for women. We also ordered a cheaper cut of meat, which was thinly sliced and of good quality, so I personally recommend that. The vegetables provided were lacking, with no green onions or shiitake mushrooms. This place is not suitable for those who prefer a more traditional shabu-shabu experience. In the end, the bill came close to ¥10,000 per person.

Actually, I missed out on making a reservation at Asari and was in the mood for some delicious meat. I searched for a good meat restaurant and decided on Chiriya! I made a reservation and waited for a week. It was located a bit away from the lively nightlife area. The dimly lit streets with faint lights, the stylish wooden building, and the modern walls. When I entered, I was greeted with a polite "Welcome!" even though the private rooms were fully booked, I was somehow guided to a private room with a sunken kotatsu-style table. However, it was still cold! I felt a bit chilly. First, we placed our order. To introduce the friend who didn't know about pork shabu-shabu to its deliciousness, we ordered pork. We also ordered fatty back loin and of course, beef! The hot pot had various types of broth - a simple kelp broth with yuzu, a chicken broth, a red broth with Kochujang, and a black broth with porcini mushrooms. It felt like a hot spring! The meat was delicious, especially the beef eaten with salt, pepper, and green onions instead of sauce. It was so tasty! We also enjoyed some Japanese sake. My friend was very satisfied with the deliciousness of the pork. No complaints, but we wished there were more vegetables. There weren't enough vegetables. I would love to go back again. Just because it's Hakodate doesn't mean it's all about fresh ingredients.

I really wanted to eat shabu-shabu that day, so I went to "Chirigoya" for the first time! It was the end of the year and the restaurant seemed very busy with bonenkai parties and such. When I arrived, it was 5 minutes before the last order at 9:55 PM, but the receptionist welcomed me with a smile and made me feel very happy, which impressed me first. (I actually stopped by another restaurant before this one, a large restaurant with good reviews on Tabelog where they also serve shabu-shabu. Despite arriving 10 minutes before the last order, they turned me away...) At Chirigoya, you can choose your preferred soup for shabu-shabu, and I chose the "Golden Soup" today because it had yuzu in it. I ordered pork belly meat, a vegetable platter, soft drinks, and finally, some delicious porridge. The meat was tender and had a strong pork flavor, which was really good. For the porridge, it was made with a soup that had a yuzu fragrance, and it was also delicious. Next time, I want to try shabu-shabu with a spicy soup.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of shabu-shabu. When I visited Hakodate, my boyfriend made a reservation at Chiriya. The inside of the restaurant is cozy with sunken kotatsu tables. I tried both the white dashi and golden dashi, and they were delicious. I also added collagen balls for smooth skin! The meatballs here are incredibly tasty, I ended up ordering five of them! Shabu-shabu may seem expensive, but I think this restaurant is perfect for special occasions like birthdays.
