Sharing is caring especially when it comes to food at Hanasuki restaurant on Anderson Street in Chatswood. This Sydney shabu shabu dining destination is a unique space devoted to this seriously delicious Japanese specialty, which sees family and friends gather over a bubbling hot pot of thinly sliced meat and vegetables.
Why should you drop in for a meal at Hanasuki? Here are three good reasons:
What’s your most popular dish/drink:
Our A5 Iwate chuck roll Wagyu, exclusively brought to diners by the Azabu group, the only restaurants to provide Japan’s most award-winning beef. An absolutely exquisite melt-in-your-mouth experience after swishing swiftly in our delicious soup broths.
Our must-try drink is the Last Train to Kings Cross cocktail – a lychee liqueur and Oolong tea cocktail made to be shared, just like shabu shabu.
What is your point of difference?
Our restaurant distinguishes itself by serving authentic Japanese shabu shabu and zosui (Japanese rice dashi congee), carefully crafted to provide our guests with an unparalleled culinary journey.
The point of difference is our traditional approach to these dishes, particularly our signature method where the broth used for shabu shabu is enriched throughout the evening with the flavours of premium ingredients simmered within, becomes the soulful base for our zosui.
This practice not only deepens the zosui’s flavour but also embodies our philosophy of honouring every ingredient and minimising waste. This sustainable, flavour-enhancing technique showcases the depth of Japanese culinary wisdom and offers our guests a unique, delicious experience that can't be found elsewhere.
What is a fun fact that not many people know about the restaurant?
A little-known gem within our venue is the newly introduced in-house sushi bar, which complements our authentic shabu shabu offerings. This addition allows our guests to balance the warmth and richness of shabu shabu with the delicate freshness of sushi.
Prepared by skilled Chefs and featuring the finest, sustainably sourced fish, our sushi bar invites diners to explore the diverse flavours of Japan under one roof. The interplay between the interactive shabu shabu experience and the sushi's quiet elegance offers a complete, authentic Japanese dining experience that extends beyond what's expected.
