Our story · しゃぶしゃぶ

Healthy. Fresh. Fun.

At Cal Shabu, you're the chef! Your pot, your pace, in Fairfax.

Where it comes from

Osaka,
1950s.

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.

What we're proud of

“It's the quality you can taste.”

From the high-end cuts of meat to the freshly prepared vegetables and seafood, it's the quality you can taste.
