Guests often ask us, mid-way through the charcoal grill, which hot pot goes best. Rather than pointing to the most popular one as if it were the right answer, we ask what kind of broth you want today. Rich and savoury, light, or sweet and salty: the comfortable choice changes with the answer.
If you want a rich, savoury broth, that is motsunabe
Motsunabe carries the savoury depth of beef offal through into the broth. We suggest it when you have been eating lighter chicken cuts and want something deeper, or when you want a warm broth to anchor the table. The price currently listed on the official menu is 29,000 KRW, but menus and prices can change, so please check the menu on the day as well.
To carry the chicken through lightly, that is torinabe
Torinabe is what we describe to guests who want to carry the run of chicken that began with the skewers into a warm broth. It suits you well when you have tasted several charcoal-scented chicken cuts and want a comparatively light broth alongside. The price currently listed on the official menu is 26,000 KRW.
If you want a sweet, salty change, that is sukiyaki nabe
Kanto-style sukiyaki nabe points in a clearly different direction from the other two. We suggest looking at it when you want a sweet and salty change after the charcoal grill, or when you are after another centrepiece for several people to share. The price currently listed on the official menu is 29,000 KRW.
In the end, just tell us what you feel like today
It is simple to remember: rich and savoury is motsunabe, light and chicken-led is torinabe, sweet and salty is Kanto-style sukiyaki nabe. Tell us what you have ordered alongside, what you are drinking, how many you are and how hungry, and we will guide you through what is available that day. Availability can change with ingredients and how the restaurant is running.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order skewers and a hot pot together?

Which of the three is the lighter hot pot?
In terms of the direction of the flavour, we describe the chicken-led torinabe as comparatively light. How it actually tastes to you varies from person to person.
