f you’re
ever wandering the streets of Brisbane in want of a Japanese meal, you must try Bishamon Japanese Restaurant! How can you resist the cosy, inviting atmosphere
of the restaurant offering a toasty refuge from the crisp cold outside? I dined
at the popular Bishamon recently and their Shabu-shabu was one of the heartiest
meals I’ve had in all my life! You have to try it!
So, what
is Shabu-shabu? This Japanese dish involves cooking a variety of vegetables and
thin slices of beef in a shared hotpot that sits at the centre of the table. It’s
really simple yet so fulfilling and a great way to bring the family together.
There’s
something so special about Shabu-shabu. The way everyone is sitting around the
hotpot cooking slices of delicious food one piece at a time and laughing all
the while; it’s not far off from the classic toasting-marshmallows-around-the-campfire
setting!
So, how
does one eat Shabu-shabu? I’ll break it down for you in 6 easy steps…
1. Ask for
the Shabu-shabu.
2. The
waiter/waitress will turn on the hotpot once it is brought to your table.
3. Trays
of cut vegetables and thin beef slices as well as dipping sauces and rice will
be prepared for you.
4. Once
the soup in the hotpot gets bubbling, use some shared ohashi (chopsticks)
to dip any vegetables and meat slices into the hotpot. Feel free to put in lots
at once! Leave them boiling in the hotpot and take out once cooked.
5. Transfer the cooked pieces from the hotpot into your dipping sauces. Then,
place it atop your rice and using your ohashi (chopsticks), eat your
delicious beef and veggies with your rice! In the meanwhile, cook
some more veggies and meat slices in the hotpot!
6. Keep dunking
veggies and beef into the hotpot and then taking out, dipping in sauce, and enjoying
with rice!
So hearty
and wholesome!
I love how
entertaining it is to watch the food cook, especially when people stir the pot accidentally and everyone’s food makes an orbit around the hotpot and you end up stealing
other people’s slices!
I was so
impressed with this restaurant and the unforgettable shared-family experience! My
nationality is half-Japanese and my family definitely recommend Bishamon for its
authentic Japanese cuisine, family-friendly atmosphere, kind staff, and memorable
experiences!
This is exactly
how dinners should be! Cooking together, enjoying together, and laughing
together! It is the shared experiences which make family meals so
memorable, and ultimately make it into the photo albums!
So what
are you waiting for? Don’t forget to make a reservation!
