The Heart of Shabu-Shabu: Our Broths
KOMBU BROTH (Traditional)
For those who appreciate simplicity and purity, our Kombu Broth is a classic choice. Made from a base of kombu (kelp), this traditional broth offers a subtle umami flavor, allowing the natural taste of your ingredients to shine.
SPICY MISO BROTH
If you're in the mood for something with a kick, our Spicy Miso Broth is perfect. This broth combines the rich, savory flavors of miso with a spicy twist, creating a bold and satisfying taste that complements a variety of proteins and vegetables.
TONKOTSU BROTH
For a richer and creamier option, try our Tonkotsu Broth. Made from simmered pork bones, this broth is full of depth and flavor, providing a hearty base for your shabu-shabu experience. It's perfect for those who enjoy a richer, more indulgent flavor.
TOMATO BROTH
Our Tomato Broth offers a lighter, tangy alternative that pairs well with both meat and vegetable selections. The fresh, bright flavors of tomatoes create a refreshing contrast, making it an excellent choice for a lighter meal.
CHICKEN BROTH
A comforting and familiar option, our Chicken Broth is perfect for those seeking a mild, savory flavor. Made with high-quality chicken, this broth provides a delicious base that enhances the taste of your ingredients without overpowering them.
SUKIYAKI
For a sweet and savory experience, try our Sukiyaki broth. This rich, soy-based broth is flavored with mirin and sugar, creating a delightful balance of flavors. It's especially delicious with thin slices of beef, vegetables, and tofu.
MIXED
Can't decide on just one broth? At Cal Shabu, you don't have to! We offer a mixed broth option, allowing you to enjoy the best of multiple flavors. Whether you want to combine spicy with creamy or traditional with modern, the choice is yours.
The Perfect Accompaniments: Rice and Dipping Sauces

No shabu-shabu meal is complete without a side of fluffy white rice. It's the perfect accompaniment to soak up the delicious broths and sauces. If you need more, we offer an extra serving option.
BROWN RICE & BROWN RICE EXTRA
For a healthier alternative, we offer brown rice, which adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture to your meal. Like our white rice, you can also request an extra serving if needed.
Dipping Sauces & Condiments: Customize Your Flavor
