A hot pot dish called “Bakumori Nabe” (meat-piled cooking pot) is now gaining popularity at some of Japanese gastropubs, izakaya. These gastropubs offer special meals to their guests, ingredients of which are served on a dining table in a shape of one-foot tall pile of meats in a shallow pot. All the guests that order the dish are deeply impressed when a pot pealed with “mountain-high meats” appears in front of them.
A popular hot pot dish served at “Kyushu-kurodaiko,” Toshima-ku, Tokyo, has an amazing appearance.
Information on this unconventional way of serving ingredients for the guests at the pubs has quickly spread on the Internet. The people of izakaya have got a very good response from their guests. The special dish of “one-foot tall pile of meats” has been increasingly ordered by new customers.
A gastropub named “Kyushu-kurodaiko” (Kyushu black drum) in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, serves a special dish to its guests in an amazing manner. Prepared ingredients in a pot and a portable gas stove are brought on the table so that guests can enjoy cooking by themselves. Amazing are its ingredients. Large pieces of cabbage are piled up to almost one foot tall in the pot, which are wrapped with thinly sliced pork meats. The special dish needs three to four times more meats than an ordinary hot pot dish.
A lot of guests, who found a unique appearance of a special dish “Bakumori Nabe” from among meals’ pictures printed on the menu, ordered it and took its photos with their smartphones. Those photos were soon publicized on the Internet for net viewers to rapidly grow its reputation. “An average number of orders of the special hot pot dish in a day have increased by four times since the dish was first put in the menu. Our special meal surprisingly gained popularity much more than expected,” the owner of “Kyushu-kurodaiko” said.
