I stayed nearby and received a 3000 yen coupon through the Tokyo Plus campaign, so I came to eat shabu-shabu! It was my first time trying shabu-shabu alone...haha. It was very delicious. I was impressed by the young staff members. They kindly and patiently explained to each customer how to use the coupon by taking it on their smartphones. I think it must have been quite a hassle. They did it without a single unpleasant face. The phrase "customer service at its best" fits perfectly. It was excellent customer service.

Located just a few minutes' walk from Ayase Station, there is a restaurant called "Onyasai." The store is clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly. They offer all-you-can-eat vegetables, which is great because they have a wide variety of vegetables to choose from. I visited around June, and the only slightly inconvenient thing was that there was no call button.

Kendo Club Encouragement Meeting on March 3, 2017

This time, I went for a stroll in Ayase! In the cold season, I felt like eating hot pot and vegetables, so I came to "Shabu Shabu Onyasai"! Located in an alley about 5 minutes from the station, it was packed on a Sunday at 7 pm, so I had to wait a bit to be seated! The course was mostly all-you-can-eat, with the price depending on the quality of the meat, and this time I chose a mid-range plan with all-you-can-drink! There were many types of broth to choose from, and I went with sukiyaki and Chinese herbal broth! I later realized that the Chinese herbal broth costs an additional 400 yen! It was written in small letters. Cheers with a beer for now! The washing of the beer mugs was not great, as there were many bubbles sticking to the glass. The bubbles were also coarse! Disappointing. Let's move on and order some vegetables and meat! The vegetables were delicious, with crispy lettuce and crunchy radish! The meat, including pork, beef, and chicken, was tasty, and the marbled beef was my favorite! The Chinese herbal broth didn't quite match up to a certain specialty store, but it was decent! The service was polite, except for the initial beer. The bill came out to 4,500 yen per person, which is quite a sum! I will visit again when I crave vegetables! Thank you for the meal.

I often use this restaurant because it's close to my place. I usually go for the all-you-can-eat option, but it's a bit inconvenient that they don't have a call bell, so it's hard to order. Also, it gets really crowded on weekends, so reservations are a must. The all-you-can-eat includes snack items, so I tend to overeat. One dish I recently found very delicious was the menu that combined umeboshi and cartilage. The cartilage was crunchy and the sourness of the plum matched perfectly. This time, I chose the motsunabe and kombu dashi, and the tripe was chewy and very fresh.

The staff's service was excellent, and it was clear that they were well-trained. The shabu-shabu is all-you-can-eat, with higher-priced options offering tastier meats, but even the cheapest course has satisfying meat. If you're okay with supermarket-level meat, the cheapest course is fine. They accept Rakuten points, offer non-smoking seats, and have semi-private rooms for two, making it convenient and recommended.

This time I visited this chain restaurant! A well-known nationwide chain of shabu-shabu was located near Ayanose Station. This time, I ordered the course with all-you-can-eat carefully selected beef and pork for ¥2980, and added all-you-can-drink for ¥1500. You can choose from 2 types of broth, so I chose kombu and soy milk. The pork shabu-shabu was tender, sweet, and very delicious. The beef included beef shoulder loin and beef kalbi, both delicious, but the pork was so delicious that I thought pork alone was enough. Next time, I might choose a course with only pork or upgrade to a better course haha. For dessert, I had soy milk cheese risotto. It was delicious, a perfect way to end the meal. However, I didn't really like the soy milk shabu-shabu, so I probably won't choose soy milk broth next time. The drink menu was not very extensive, but they had draft beer, shochu, sake, wine, sours, cocktails, plum wine, etc., all of which were delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and if I feel like having delicious shabu-shabu again, I will definitely visit. Thank you for the meal.

I watched "Oshikatsu" on TV and couldn't resist the craving, so I visited the Ayase branch. It was around 7:00 PM on Saturday, so the restaurant was almost full. After waiting for about 5 minutes, I was led to a semi-private L-shaped booth. The L-shape made it a bit difficult to use the table efficiently and move around, so it seems like it's not very popular. Once confirmed, I sat at the table. This time, I ordered the all-you-can-eat course of three types of branded pork (Iberico pork, Akagi Mochi pork, Andes Highland pork - each with loin and kalbi), plus hot vegetables and umami beef shoulder loin. Other items included vegetables, appetizers, three types of tsukune, and one dessert after the meal, all for 3,250 yen per person plus 380 yen for unlimited soft drinks. As for the taste, the Iberico pork was delicious as expected! The marbled fat had a sweet taste that made it irresistible. Especially, the combination with scallions was excellent. However, the most surprising item this time was the "Mozzarella Shabu-Shabu" that I had been wanting to try since seeing it on TV. It was delicious! The cheese melts as you shabu-shabu it, and it's amazing to eat it as it is or with meat. The perfect amount of saltiness was irresistible. The dessert I had at the end was unique and satisfying, with flavors that you can't find in other restaurants. However, the best part of this restaurant is the hard work of the staff. They constantly check the restaurant, replenish the dwindling broth, replace the water for removing scum, bring the menu, and more. I have nothing to complain about. I definitely want to go again.✩

As it's starting to get colder, I was craving some hot pot dishes, so I looked up and found Warm Vegetables and decided to go there. I've been to other branches before, but this was my first time at the Ayase branch. It's located next to a drugstore at the west exit of Ayase Station. The interior had a cozy atmosphere with partitions between tables, giving a calm dining experience. It was a bit dimly lit, maybe to set the mood. By signing up as a member with my phone, I got a free drink (alcohol is okay), so I signed up on the spot. You become a member by answering a survey. I was torn between ordering a la carte or going for the all-you-can-eat option, but I chose the "Beef and Pork All-You-Can-Eat" course for 3098 yen per person, which included appetizers, vegetables, meat, meatballs, other ingredients, rice, and dessert - quite a deal! There were several types of broth available, allowing you to enjoy two different flavors, which was nice. I decided on the "Umami Dashi" and the "Sukiyaki-like" broths. It was a bit luxurious to be able to enjoy both shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. The meat was thin, as expected for shabu-shabu, but since it's order-based, you get fresh meat when you order, which is great. You can try various eating styles, so it's better not to be too thick. You can also choose the type of meat, and they provide tags to indicate which meat it is, which was helpful. Both beef and pork were delicious, but I personally found the pork to be particularly tasty. The sauces, ponzu and sesame, were alternating, and for the sukiyaki, the broth had enough flavor to eat the meat as it is, which was good. The chicken meatballs were also very tasty. I almost ended up just eating the shabu-shabu meat, but the meatballs were so delicious that I ended up getting more. Next time, I'll try the hot pot.

It was a while ago, but I forgot to write about it. It's just a little off the main road, less than a 5-minute walk from Ayase Station. It seems to be always busy here. There are many families and they often have banquets. The biggest downside here is the size of the tables. It's all-you-can-eat, so the plates just keep piling up... Even with 2 people at a 4-person table, there's plenty of space. If it's not crowded, it might be good to ask for a table for 4. The all-you-can-eat is mainly pork shabu-shabu, but the meat is quite delicious. The amount of vegetables on one plate is incredibly small, haha. Even for 2 people, it's better to ask for 5 servings. I recommend the tsukune (meatballs). Tsukune takes longer to cook, so it's better to order it first and let it simmer. Considering the price, it's not bad. However... there aren't many staff members around...

Shabu-shabu Onyasai Ayase branch provides a delicious and enjoyable time. I often order the all-you-can-eat pork shabu-shabu and yukhoe. It's great that you can choose the broth. I always order the hot pot broth. I'm greedy, so I always have two types of broth each time. I've tried various yukhoe dishes, but the yukhoe here is one of my top favorites, competing for the top spot.

When you want to eat a lot of meat without worrying about the price, this is the place to go. They offer all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu with a variety of broths to choose from. I always go for the option where you can enjoy two types of broths. Personally, I recommend the soy milk broth. The restaurant is not very spacious, so it tends to get crowded, especially since it's located near the station. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely, which explains why it's always busy. They offer various courses, some of which are priced under 3000 yen. There is also a drink-all-you-can option available, so you can enjoy a variety of drinks.

I went to a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant and it was great! The pork was delicious. There were a lot of vegetable options and even though there was a time limit, I was able to enjoy my meal at a relaxed pace. You can choose from two types of broth, so even if people have different tastes, they can still enjoy shabu-shabu together. The restaurant has a cozy izakaya-like atmosphere, but there are also private rooms which make it suitable for families and couples.

This time I ordered a bento box from Uber Eats while thinking about wanting to go to a shabu-shabu and sushi buffet after looking at the restaurant page. One is a beef sukiyaki bento box. If you take it out, it's 800 yen. With Uber Eats, it's 1200 yen. The other one is a bulgogi bento box. The price is the same. There is also a green onion pork bento box. The beef sukiyaki bento box may not be suitable for delivery. Items with a lot of broth tend to get messy easily. But sukiyaki bento boxes are probably more delicious with broth. I think bulgogi and salted pork are more suitable for Uber Eats. My second son changed jobs and moved at the same time. From Aoto to Ayase. Aoto is indeed inconvenient. And it's not as prosperous as I thought. On the other hand, there are quite a few bars at night, but it's difficult to enter a bar alone, so I occasionally invited my second son after the sports club to explore a bit more. However, if restaurants are closed at night due to self-restraint, the sports club itself is completely closed. I don't know when it will reopen. Even if it does reopen, I wonder if I'll go... I go to the pool. I'm worried. I moved within walking distance because there is dog care when I'm not home, but Ayase seems to have a lively atmosphere with many dining options. I want to go to various places once things settle down, starting with this Yawaraka Yasai. There are few reviews for bento box dining. I like staying at home, but I don't like eating at home. I especially want to go eat pancakes and parfaits. I also want to try this shabu-shabu and sushi buffet. For now, I have to be patient.
