Shabumaru is hotpot dining in Boston's Back Bay. Just a few steps outside the Westin Copley is a restaurant honoring a Japanese tradition that provides for both a tasty and an interactive meal.
While you can enjoy traditional dishes, like sushi, I was intrigued and had to try the hotpot. I ordered a vegetable and seaweed based miso broth that was poured into a copper pot, and then set into the bar in front of me, to simmer away.
Next I selected from their vegan options to add to the broth. I chose mixed tofu varieties, white cabbage and broccoli. It was savory, healthy and custom made by me! Rices and noodles can also be added if you choose, along with mushrooms, corn and other vegetables. The broths vary as well, including a sriracha but that's a bit too spicy for me!
Next time you're in Boston, give this place a try!
