    Practically an accidental find, but was a wonderful, delicious, local experience. A very small place for hot pots. Everything - the meat, vegetables, broth, and salads were perfect. No English menus, but with some patience and willingness to try, everything came out perfectly.

    Service is very slow given it seems only 1-2 people work here. The food is pretty good, but beware of the spice levels I'm the broth!!!

    I have never had a more delicious hot pot in Tokyo!
    Although the soup is authentic, there is no smell.
    The hot water is enough to make me want to drink the soup alone.
    (Personally, I think the scent of medicinal dishes is too strong.There are many shops.)
    I have been coming here about once a month for several years now.
    I think the red soup is spicy enough and delicious even if it's a little spicy.
    When I visited for the first time, I said that I like spicy food, so I went for medium spicy and it was so spicy that I couldn't stop sweating (it was the middle of winter).
    I thought I might stop breathing when I choked (lol)
    This is my preference, but if you like spicy food, I recommend starting with a little spiciness.
    Be sure to add sesame oil to dip the red soup ingredients into!
    Duck blood doesn't smell so bad that you'd think it's not blood at all, but it has a delicious taste and is quite nourishing and tonic.
    I was told that it tastes better when boiled well, so I add it first and let it simmer for a while.
    Jiggly and crunchy? It becomes a habit ☺️
    I always order 3 pieces of duck blood for 2 people (lol)
    The brownish square in the photo is duck blood!
