In Tokyo, there are many such gourmet spots where you can stop by on a weekday evening.However, it is surprisingly difficult to choose from among the many restaurants.
We will now introduce four carefully selected spots in Tokyo where you can stop by on your way home from work and enjoy delicious food!
1.Shabushabu Lettuce【Shibuya】
Suddenly it's getting chilly these days...I want something warm to eat!For you, I recommend Shibuya's "Shabu Shabu Rethus".
The style of the restaurant is appealing because it is easy to enjoy alone, and the convenience of being able to drop by on the way home from work or after shopping has been well-received.Each seat has its own pot, so you can enjoy shabu-shabu completely on your own, allowing you to relax alone without worrying about your surroundings.
Shabu-shabu Rethus offers a full lineup of carefully selected fresh meats and vegetables, allowing diners to enjoy their favorite ingredients at their own pace and as much as they like.The menu features Japanese beef, brand-name pork, seasonal vegetables, and other ingredients perfect for shabu-shabu, which are served with a simple broth that brings out the full flavor of each ingredient.
You can choose from several types of dashi, so you can enjoy a light kelp dashi, a flavorful white dashi, or any other flavor that suits your mood.Another reason for the restaurant's popularity is that it offers a variety of condiments and seasonings in addition to ponzu and sesame sauce, allowing you to arrange the dish to your own taste.
The one-person nabe style is also hygienic, as there is no need to worry about sharing ingredients with other customers.It is especially easy to order for one person, and the small nabe allows you to taste a small amount of food in a small pot, giving you a little more satisfaction.Dinner time is especially popular with businessmen and office workers on their way home from work, as they can concentrate on their meal without worrying about what others around them are thinking.
With simple flavors and fresh ingredients, dinner at Shabu Shabu Rethus is a luxurious way to spend time alone while relaxing after a hard day's work.Why not visit for your next solo dining out?
