Celebrate Spring with Delicious New Menu Items at Shabu Shabu On-Yasai
As the blossoms bloom each spring, the renowned Shabu Shabu On-Yasai restaurant chain, operated by Reins International, unveils its delicious limited-time offerings to welcome the season. Starting from March 11, 2026, guests can indulge in two exquisite dishes: the 'Tai Shabu' featuring fresh Tai from Ehime prefecture and the 'Spring Vegetable and Yamagata Pork Shabu' enlivened with a special golden broth.
Experience the Delight of Tai Shabu
The star of this delightful new offering is the Tai Shabu, prepared using premium Tai renowned for its sweet and rich flavors. This dish is designed to be savored during important seasonal events, like graduations or new beginnings, aligning perfectly with the vibrant spirit of spring. The Tai can be enjoyed as sashimi but truly shines when briefly dipped into a flavorful broth, enhancing its delicate taste and soft texture.
Tai fish, celebrated for symbolizing joy and prosperity, has a well-established place in colloquial Japanese cuisine, making it an appropriate dish for celebratory occasions. Shabu Shabu On-Yasai sources its Tai from Ehime, a region recognized as a leading producer of this sought-after fish. The restaurant carefully selects only the freshest cut, ensuring that each slice is both tender and flavorful.
Yamagata Pork Shabu: A Flavorful Pairing
Simultaneously launching is the 'Spring Vegetable and Yamagata Pork Shabu,' which is enhanced by a unique golden broth infused with the rich umami of clams. Featured within this dish is the highly sought-after Yamagata Pork, notable for its fine texture and tender taste, cultivated in the nutrient-rich environment of Yamagata. The dish combines chicken broth with aromatic vegetables, layered with kombu and clam flavors, resulting in a satisfying and luscious shabu shabu experience.
Alongside the juicy Yamagata Pork, diners can enjoy a selection of spring vegetables such as bamboo shoots, turnips, and wakame. These seasonal ingredients embody the lightness and freshness associated with springtime flavors. The bamboo shoots symbolize growth and new beginnings, while the turnips absorb the broth, creating a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience. Wakame, when quickly cooked, retains its crispness and rich flavor, adding depth to the broth.
To complete this seasonally-inspired offering, Shabu Shabu On-Yasai presents a side of bamboo shoot rice, infused with the comforting essence of the soup. As a sweet finale, guests are served a seasonal dessert, the 'Hanami Mochi Ice Cream', elevating the dining experience with a multi-sensory celebration of spring.
