🥩 Hidden Gem for Shabu Shabu Lovers – Ganaha-Butanikuten Kafuna Asahibashi

We made our way to Ganaha-Butanikuten at Kafuna Asahibashi after hearing about its reputation for high-quality meats—and it didn’t disappoint. This place is a true hidden gem, especially if you’re into shabu shabu.

We tried the famous Ishigaki wagyu beef and Agu pork from Yanbaru Island, both known for their rich marbling and premium taste. The moment the thin slices hit the broth, they cooked to perfection almost instantly—tender, juicy, and packed with umami. What I loved most was how the shabu shabu method really preserved the natural sweetness of the meats, especially the Agu pork, which had a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The staff was polite and helpful, guiding us through the best way to enjoy each meat. The dipping sauces were great, but honestly, the meat was so flavorful on its own that you didn’t even need much else.

Simple setup, but amazing quality—if you want to try some of Okinawa’s finest meats in their purest form, this spot is worth seeking out.
