NABE. I realized that after writing a great deal about nabe in my last email, I had failed to post a picture of it. To be technical, this is real nabe, where food is already prepared and all cooked at once inside the nabe. The piece-meal method of tossing stuff in to cook and eat instantly is called "Shabu shabu" - a key feature of shabushabu is the thinly sliced raw meat that is dipped for like 2 seconds and eaten post-haste. I think that's all correct.


Giant seafood NABE that Shoko took us to. To eat.
