A shabu-shabu restaurant for adults opened on January 5, 2026, near Kofu Station, near the scramble crossing in front of the Yamanashi Prefectural Government Office. The large sign reading "Shabu-shabu Bettei Ito" has caught the eye, and many people are already intrigued.

We head to Shabu Shabu Bettei Ito, a new and exciting restaurant that just opened on January 5th, 2026.

Once you go up to the second floor and open the door, you'll find yourself in a different world. A stylish and relaxed space for adults awaits. In addition to table seating, there are semi-private rooms and private rooms for 8 people, and the restaurant can also be rented out for parties of 15 or more. This makes it suitable for a variety of occasions, from family celebrations and business meetings to get-togethers with friends.

The menu is quite simple, consisting of a shabu-shabu course featuring four types of meat: Okinawa Agu pork, Kagoshima Kuroge pork, Tokyo's brand pork "TOKYO X," and Yamanashi's "Jomon Sweet Pork."

In addition to meat, all courses come with colorful appetizers, small dishes, sashimi, etc., which change depending on the ingredients available at the time, so you can enjoy snacking on them while drinking.

Today we're having the Okinawa Agu pork course. The meat is rich in umami, tender, and the sweetness and umami of the marbling is what makes it so appealing. We'll shabu-shabu the pork with plenty of green onions.

The melt-in-your-mouth fat and elegant sweetness, and the rich flavor that fills your mouth, are irresistible!!! When you eat it wrapped in spring onions, it has a light taste with a clean aftertaste. When you dip it in soba sauce, the fat is just right, and only the meat's natural sweetness and flavor stand out, doubling the deliciousness.

The final dish is ochazuke (rice with green tea) with a strong dashi broth and ice cream. You can fully enjoy the fragrant flavor of the grilled rice balls and the changing texture of the rice balls dipped in the dashi broth, which changes from crispy to fluffy. This is the perfect way to end your meal, making it even more enjoyable.
