Nabe Ryori (Hot Pot Dish) is a favorite dish especially in winter in Japan.

Especially in winter we often eat Nabe Ryori (Hot Pot Dish).

・What is Nabe Ryori?
It is a hot pot dish in which simmerd ingredients such as vegitables, meat, mashrooms, fish and seafood, tofu and shirataki(konjaku thin noodles).

Ingredients depend on soup taste, household favor, areas. There’s no special rule what ingredients are used.

・Soup

Recently at supermarket we can buy various type of soup to make Nabe Ryori easier.

Kimchi, Curry, Sesame & Soy Milk, Miso, Simple (mainly Soy sauce & Miso), Simple (mainly dried bonito and kobu seaweed) ,and so on.

We can choose many flavoring soup.

・Eating Nabe Ryori keeps our body warm. Eating Nabe Ryori is also good for communication because we sit around Nabe (Pot) and eat the simmering ingredients directly from the shared pot. 

Sometimes we put steamed rice & egg (We call it Zosui*) or Udon or rice cakes to leftover soup. It is also delicious.

*Zosui is a kind of porridge. The ingredients are soup and steamed rice or vegetables or eggs or meat or fish.

There are many kinds of Nabe Ryori also in other Asian countries.
For example in Thailand, there is a dish called 'Thai Suki' (Thai-style sukiyaki,) which is, however, more similar to Japanese shabu-shabu or Yosenabe than sukiyaki.

It is also Hot Pot Dish includes meat balls and many vegetables. Zosui is sometimes made while using leftover soup. Everything is good and I like it.

If you travel Japan in winter, you should taste Japanese Nabe Ryori(Hot Pot Dish).

You can also eat Nabe Ryori not only at general Japanese household but also at Japanese pub restaurants (=Izakaya: drinking establishment featuring casual atmosphere and reasonable prices) .
