MMM. SHABU.
At Cal Shabu–you're the chef! Cook your choice of meat and veggies (at your own pace) in a pot of boiling water seasoned to your liking. Dip each bite in Ponzu, our citrus-based soy sauce, or in Goma, which is our sesame and peanut based sauce. Create a taste all your own with a variety of condiments, including pressed garlic, green onions and white radish. Like spicy? Ask for our hot drops!
Shabu-shabu originated in Osaka during the 1950s but has since spread all across Japan and now to Fairfax County!
It gets its name from the Japanese onomatopoeia for “swish, swish,” as each piece of meat is lightly swished around in boiling broth before eating.
