Shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, Fukuoka motsunabe and winter hot pots shared at the table.
Nabe is any dish cooked in a pot at the table: shabu-shabu (thin beef swished in broth), sukiyaki (beef simmered in sweet soy with a raw egg dip), chanko (the sumo wrestlers' pot), and Fukuoka's motsunabe, a garlicky, chive-covered pot of beef or pork offal that is the city's signature winter dinner. These are sharing meals and they are the best way to eat wagyu in a group for less than a steakhouse.
Motsunabe (offal hot pot with garlic and chives) and mizutaki (chicken in a rich collagen broth) are Fukuoka's two signature dinners, and both are sharing meals for two or more. The top-rated motsunabe houses are in Tenjin, Yakuin and Hakata and should be reserved, especially from October to March..
