After finishing work, I was thinking about what to eat to get home, but actually, I didn’t have much appetite that day.
But at such a time, I suddenly passed by the "Xin Niu Huo Mo" restaurant.
Photos of the hot pot are very attractive.
It was a bit spicy... but since it's just one person, I thought it's better to go in and ask the staff about it.
I: "Um... Is it okay if just one person comes?"
“店『ダイジョウブデス！』”と、中国訛りの日本語で答えてくれました。
Yoshia, today let's try hot pot!
Well, what I ordered was a “120-minute all-you-can-eat course (19 items) for 2280 yen”.

Added the description “Soft drinks included for free, 450 yen.”
By the way, there’s also a "120-minute all-you-can-eat menu (34 items) with a fresh course for 2980 yen" where you can enjoy even more variety of dishes.
Both courses offer two types of soups to choose from among three varieties.
・Sichuan Spicy Soup
This is a soup made with over 30 kinds of seasonings using a unique recipe.
The spiciness that becomes a characteristic is actually quite pleasant.
・Utsu Soppu
This is a soup made by simmering plenty of bonito and whole chicken.
Rich in collagen.
Best moisturizing effect!
・キノコスープ
This is a soup that harmonizes the flavors of eight types of mushrooms.
Delicious! Nutritious!
I chose "Sichuan Spicy" and "Shangyu".
Not long after, the chef arrived with his pot. But the size of this pot is simply enormous!!
The pot has a diameter of 28 centimeters and is suitable for 3 to 4 people.
The soup contains a little liquid.
Now, let's start with a single-pot cooking method.
Inside the restaurant, Chinese movies were being shown on the TV, and there were several groups of Chinese people inside the establishment.
Japanese people are only a group of one man and two women.
Well, as for the crucial hot pot itself, it definitely has a strong Chinese herbal medicine flavor.
In the pot, there are herbs like honeysuckle floating around.
Moreover, the mountain pepper also works effectively; it's quite spicy.
It was eaten together with a spicy soup.
Yes, it's delicious.
The soup is a light and refreshing type of broth.
Here, we added green onions as seasonings, as well as spicy soy sauce, fresh garlic, beef sauce, and other ingredients to make the dish.
This place is also quite delicious.
But still, I really prefer hot pot.
On this day, for the first time, I received something called "frozen tofu".
Somewhat firm texture, reminiscent of yuba.
It's not bad.
Additionally, "tofu skin" was also tasted for the first time on this day.
It doesn’t clearly look like noodles, but if you eat it along with soup instead of noodles, I think it’s a low-carb and healthy option.
But for the first items of meat and vegetables that were brought over, it was considered a "food-free buffet" at that point...
Ah, I'm really full now.
Just happened to stop by, but I thought it was a good place to stay.
It was delicious.
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
