We visited the restaurant "Shabu-ya Matsuiyamate" for dinner that day with a family of four. It was a weekend evening, so the restaurant was packed! There were over 10 names on the waiting board, and we thought we would have to wait for over an hour, but surprisingly, about half of the groups gave up, and we were able to enter after waiting for about 30 minutes!! It had been a while since we last had Shabu-ya, so we ordered a course where we could eat beef. We also enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option and had a good time pouring our own beer from the self-service tap. The cat-shaped robot was also working hard and moving around (laughs). It was a dinner where we could feel that things were getting back to normal and the energy was returning after the calming down of the pandemic. Thank you for the delicious meal!!

This is not a place where you delicately cook and elegantly eat shabu-shabu and meat. You just dive right in, cook until the color changes, and devour it quickly. Make the most of the condiments for flavor variation and eat heartily. When you simply want to consume meat, this is the place to go. You can eat here without any pretense, just enjoy devouring your meal. It's a great restaurant.

I have visited other branches of this restaurant a few times, but this was my first time here. Shabu-shabu is becoming more common thanks to the rapid expansion of Shabu Sai. This location seems to have a lot of young customers and staff, probably because there is a university nearby. Today, I visited with my usual group of friends, four middle-aged men. Normally, we would eat quickly and aggressively, like a war, but today we were more restrained because some of us have upcoming health check-ups. The system has changed slightly, and now you can't get sushi with the pork course - you have to choose the more expensive beef course. I hope they change this in the future. However, there are other enjoyable elements besides shabu-shabu, so if you choose wisely, you can have a good time! I can see why they are expanding their number of locations. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to eat a lot of meat without any worries. I casually went out and on the way, I decided to eat at Shabu Shabu restaurants like "Syabu-ya" or "Arugoru". I chose the unlimited time option, I didn't need any fancy meats like beef or Iberico, just regular pork is enough. I enjoyed alternating between pork belly, loin, and chicken, and finished off with soft serve ice cream. I stayed for about 2 hours, but I couldn't eat as much as I used to. In the past, there were only ponzu or sesame dipping sauces, but now there are many options, which is nice because it allows you to change up the flavors.

All-you-can-eat pork shabu-shabu! Only with loin, it's okay!

The inside of the store was clean and beautiful.

This time, the main purpose was to ride the train, but the main food was all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. It seems they have branches in Mie Prefecture as well. I chose a lunch course where you can order beef, pork, and chicken for about 1600 yen (excluding tax). I kept ordering meat other than vegetables, tofu, and Chinese noodles. The pork was served as loin and belly. Personally, I thought the pork was the most delicious. The broth included a basic clear broth and a medium spicy miso broth. The clear broth was refreshing, and the miso broth had three levels of spiciness, but I like spicy food so I chose the medium level. It still had a good kick to it. I realized after entering the restaurant that it was part of the Skylark Group, so I got a 5% discount with the app and also earned T-POINT.

I visited Shabuha, a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant that opened on March 22nd, for lunch. Located on the same premises as Matsunoya Matsuiyamate Store and Musashino Mori Coffee Matsuiyamate Store, there is plenty of parking available. About 20 years ago, this area was just empty land... It has really developed rapidly. Even before 3 pm on a weekday, the restaurant was bustling with many customers. Since schools are still closed, there were many young people and families. I came alone, but there were also young women enjoying shabu-shabu alone, so it's a place where you can feel comfortable whether you come in a large group or alone. I ordered the lunch menu's all-you-can-eat Three-Piece Pork Belly for 1,078 yen, and chose kombu dashi and ginger-flavored pork bone miso dashi as the broths. The pork belly meat had a good amount of fat, but when eaten as shabu-shabu, the fat melts away and it's quite healthy. The ginger-flavored pork bone miso dashi had a good taste, so it was delicious even without dipping it in ponzu or sesame sauce. Since vegetables are also all-you-can-eat here, I enjoyed plenty of Chinese cabbage and mushrooms. I ate about 10 plates of meat with vegetables as the side dish, and my stomach was full (;^ω^) For dessert, I had two soft-serve ice creams and became super full. I paid with shareholder special vouchers from the Skylark Group, so I was able to eat to my heart's content at a great value. This restaurant is a chain store of the Skylark Group, but I had no complaints about the meat or vegetables, and the staff were friendly and provided good service, creating a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying lunch. It was a bit stressful for me, as I prefer to eat quietly and the children were noisy during the spring break period, but that's my issue (lol). Next time I come, I would like to try a course that includes beef as well. Thank you for the meal!
