In preparation for my trip to Japan somewhere in 2010, I was wondering whether I would be capable of fishing out the restaurant names and locations from episodes of VVV6. The answer: Yes I Can. While it’s still tv variety Japanese (extremely fast to the ears) I catch a lot of it and could decipher most dishes as well as places. Not only that, I have info’s to their menu’s and can point you to the location in google maps. It’s times like these I seriously ♥ my oversized brain and the intarwebs. If there’s wonky Japanese in this entry, please correct it.
What is it?
Basically Shabu Shabu is boiling thin strips of meat or even fish in different kinds of broths.
