Bijin nabe (beauty hotpot, or 美人鍋) from Tsukada Nojo. Essentially the hotpot equivalent of your mother, grandmother or similar female maternal figure caressing your back and making you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and telling you everything is going to be just fine. Hands down my favourite hotpot experience in the country (and it’s a Singaporean exclusive – Japan’s own Tsukada Nojo outlets offer no such hotpot). From the servers letting you have a sample cupful of the broth upon boiling and the subsequent placement of the individual ingredients into the hotpot for you, to them presenting to you a plate with a thank you message written in flavoured sauces, the experience is sure to leave you and your dining companions feeling pampered and satisfied. Did I mention the broth is rich and fantastic? 4.5/5
