Wagyu beef hotpot with Japanese pepper

This hot pot features fatty Wagyu beef, fragrant mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables. After a quick shabu-shabu, it is garnished with Japanese pepper. The refreshing aroma and just the right amount of spiciness bring out the umami of the Wagyu beef.

Throwing soba noodles

This is a local Shinshu dish in which soba noodles are "thrown" into a broth that has the flavor of a variety of mushrooms and meatballs dissolved into it, and then heated. This is a specialty hot pot at Sonmin Shokudo that takes a little extra effort to prepare and enjoy.

Beef Motsunabe (Hot Pot) - Shinshu Miso Style

The aroma of garlic will whet your appetite in this beef offal hotpot. The rich hotpot base is combined with fatty offal and plenty of vegetables, and the final dish is Chinese noodles in a condensed umami soup.
