How to Eat GyuButa Shabu??

After you get your seat, order your drinks and your soup. We have two kinds of soup for you to choose. First is a pork bone soup with special mixture called Shabu soup. Second is Suki soup. The taste of Suki soup is more tasty and it is best recommended. You can also choose both soup, because we can provide you with a divided-in-half pot like a picture below.

Shabu soup on the left and Suki soup on the right

Order everything you want to eat from the buffet menu. While waiting for the food, you can prepare your own sauce by mixing chopped garlic, sliced chili, sliced spring onion, mashed radish and lemonade.

When all the food is ready, it is time to eat and have fun around the Shabu pot. Put some Japanese spring onion into Suki soup first to let the sweet taste of it come out.




For pork or beef, you can soak a very thin slice of meat into the pot and wave it back and forth for several time. At this point the history of the name shabu shabu was created. According to Wikipedia, the name shabu-shabu is derived from the "swish swish" sound of cooking the meat in the pot. But to be honest, I myself never hear that sound before. You may want to try to carefully listen to the sound when you visit us sometimes :))




After the meat turns to pink, take it out and dip it into prepared sauce. There are three kinds of sauces; Ponzu sauce (the black one giving sour taste), Suki sauce (the red one giving sweet taste) and fresh egg (giving smooth taste).

Here is the picture of meat dipping into a fresh egg. It looks very yummy, doesn't it??




Then put it in your mouth and enjoy the meal. You can add other fresh vegetables into the pot.


*Today Tip*


Once the meat and vegetables have been eaten for awhile, you can put rice or udon into the pot. It will become delicious boiled rice with the taste of meat and vegetable soup. For this tip, don't trust me, but try it yourself. I have seen our Korean customer made it, so I try and the result is not bad.

Here is our Korean customer. Thank you for the recipe!!!!!




We open everyday from 11.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. For reservations, please call 086-980-2583.

Have a Look at GyuButa's Menu!!!!

We proudly present you our menu for shabu. First, let's know a brief history of the word "shabu-shabu". Shabu-shabu is a Japanese hot pot similar to Sukiyaki that uses thinly sliced meat and many kind of vegetables and is usually served with dipping sauces and egg. It is considered a winter dish, but is eaten anytime throughout the year. It was introduced in Japan in the 20th century with the opening of a shabu-shabu restaurant in Osaka named "Suehiro". Suehiro later registered the name of shabu-shabu as a trademark in 1955.

Here is our menu for GyuButa Shabu!!!!

For our beef, we provide you rib eye and chuck eye.



Rib Eye

It is a cut of beef from the rib section and is considered to be one of the best cut due to the muscle that gets lots of exercise during its life. Its marbling of fat also leaves the taste of softness in your mouth.



Chuck Eye

It is a cut of beef from the chuck section. Its balance of meat and fat gives you the richness of flavor. Its tendon in the middle also makes another good taste for your dish.

There are three kinds of pork; pork fillet, pork shoulder and pork belly for you to choose.



Pork Fillet

It is a cut of pork with little fat. It is recommended for those who is on a diet.
