## Nahonsha’s location between Hapjeong and Sangsu stations

Nahonsha, a great shabu-shabu spot near Hapjeong Station, sits between Hapjeong and Sangsu stations. Walk about 5–7 minutes from Hapjeong Station and its cute little sign will greet you, so it is easy to find. Just note that it is regularly closed every Sunday~

## Comfortable seating for solo meals and groups

The first things that impressed me when I stepped inside were the cleanliness and stylish interior. There are plenty of bar-style seats, so solo diners can eat comfortably without feeling self-conscious. It is Nahonsha—“I shabu-shabu alone,” after all, haha. There really were lots of people dining alone.

There are also neat two- and four-person tables. I had worried there might be only single seats, but sitting side by side rather than across from each other was actually even nicer, you know? haha. The overall wood-toned space felt calming, and it was airy and comfortable without the steaminess or stuffiness typical of shabu-shabu restaurants.

## Ordering the clear-broth shabu-shabu

I ordered the signature clear-broth shabu-shabu. They also have spicy shabu-shabu and mala shabu-shabu, so I loved having lots of flavor options!!

## Unlimited refills of three sauces

The special sauces really boost the flavor! The standard sauce lineup was generous too: chili sauce, peanut sauce, and soy sauce. I love dipping into chili and peanut sauce together, so I think I refilled the sauces set on every table three times without feeling self-conscious, haha. Alternating between the different sauces made every last bite feel varied and satisfying.

## Clear-broth shabu-shabu setup and how to cook it

Here is the basic setup for Nahonsha’s clear-broth shabu-shabu near Hapjeong Station.

First, they recommend bringing the broth to a boil at heat level 5.

![Clear broth coming to a boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-clear-broth-nahonsya/hapjeong-solo-shabu-clear-broth-nahonsya-15-43dah-900.webp)

The generous tray came piled with bean sprouts, napa cabbage, bok choy, assorted mushrooms, kabocha squash, and more. There was not a single wilted bit; they looked so plump and fresh you could see it. And the heart of shabu-shabu is meat, of course! Nahonsha’s bright-red meat was tender and soft, with no unpleasant smell.

Once I filled the clear broth with vegetables and cooked them, the broth developed a gentle, deep flavor that made me feel warm right through.

Once everything is cooked, simply dip it in whichever sauce you like. It was light and so delicious~

## Lightly cooked meat and finishing kalguksu

I dipped the meat briefly into the clear broth and lifted it out as soon as the redness disappeared. The more I chewed, the more its clean, nutty juices filled my mouth. Since the meat quality was so good, it was never dry, and wrapping it with the vegetables was an absolutely perfect pairing.

![Kalguksu noodles added to rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-clear-broth-nahonsya/hapjeong-solo-shabu-clear-broth-nahonsya-24-152dv-900.webp)

After finishing all the meat and vegetables, I dropped kalguksu (knife-cut wheat noodles) into the richly developed broth!! Unlike other kalguksu, these noodles were thin and chewy, so the broth soaked right in. Slurping the noodles with that deepened broth was simply the best. It was a hearty, perfect meal~ I am 200% coming back to Nahonsha.
