Soga Shabu Shabu

Soga Shabu Shabu is Chinese and Japanese hotpot restaurant located in an upstairs room on State Street in Madison. It is popular with students and is especially great on a bitter cold winter day. Hotpot, or shabu shabu consists of a boiling broth (typically spicy) that you cook meat, vegetables, and mushrooms in. This meal must be consumed slowly to allow for the food to cook fully and should be eaten in a very relaxed atmosphere. It is not uncommon for this meal to take at least two hours to eat. The atmosphere and hotpot meal at Soga Shabu Shabu is authentic.
