About this place
At Suzuran Chihaya Honten, choose motsunabe in one of three styles: secret-recipe soy sauce, light salt or spicy. The menu notes that the salt broth brings out the sweetness of the vegetables, while the spicy version gets its savoury flavour from Korean chilli and garlic. Hot pot can be ordered from 2 serving, making it a good choice to share over dinner.
There are several ways to finish the meal, too: add flat noodles, rice porridge or cheese risotto to the pot. Diners have also mentioned enjoying yakitori alongside their hot pot, so a mix of skewers and broth is another option.
Yakitori choices include chicken neck, chicken thigh and tsukune, with salt or tare sauce available on some skewers. Beyond the hot pot, diners have picked dishes such as chicken nanban and plump prawns with mayonnaise, making this an option for a meal centred on set meals or à la carte plates, too.
