I had some errands to run in Naju on a weekday, so I met up with a friend for lunch afterward. I was craving something hot and soupy, and after looking around, I ended up at Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch.

## What 16,000 won gets you: the basic shabu-shabu and the rest of the menu

Yuyu Shabu offers set menus — Basic Shabu for ₩16,000, Yuyu Shabu for ₩18,000, and Half-and-Half Shabu for ₩19,000. There were also various side dishes available to add on.

Besides the basic shabu-shabu, Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch offers a variety of other menu items like king scallop shabu-shabu and hinoki-steamed dishes. We ordered the basic shabu-shabu this time, but I'd love to try some of the other options next time.

## Wood-toned interior and the private room at Yuyu Shabu

The first thing I noticed at Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch was the wood-tone interior — the overall warm, cozy feel made it comfortable to eat there, and the open kitchen let us watch the food being prepared, giving a clean impression.

There were 2-person and 4-person tables, as well as a separate room, so the layout could comfortably accommodate different group sizes.

It seemed like a nice spot for a couple's date, but also worked well for group gatherings or work dinners. Having a room available felt like a real plus for anyone looking for a lunch gathering spot in Naju.

## The basic shabu-shabu spread and the homemade tare sauce

What we ordered today was the basic shabu-shabu. I liked that it came with unlimited refills of noodles, vegetables, and mushrooms alongside the shabu-shabu, so we could add as much as we wanted.

![Meat and vegetable spread for basic shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-basic-set-tare-sauce/yuyu-shabu-naju-basic-set-tare-sauce-11-1did0-900.webp)

When you order, they bring out Yuyu Shabu's own homemade tare sauce, and we were told to mix in the egg yolk well and use it later for dipping the vegetables and meat, haha.

Once the shabu-shabu broth was ready, we loaded it up generously with vegetables and mushrooms.

As it bubbled away, the flavor of the vegetables and mushrooms melded into the broth, making it taste richer and richer. Cooking the meat piece by piece and eating it alongside the vegetables and mushrooms made for a meal that felt hearty but not heavy.

*(Self-bar)*

## How the vegetable and mushroom self-bar works

Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch has a self-bar where you can help yourself to as many vegetables and mushrooms as you like. Since you tend to go through a lot of them while eating shabu-shabu, it was great to be able to grab more without hesitation whenever we ran low.

As someone who likes loading up on plenty of vegetables and mushrooms while cooking, this setup was really satisfying for me.

I've always just used chili sauce whenever I eat shabu-shabu, so I was surprised at how delicious the tare sauce turned out to be, haha.

## Finishing the pot with noodles and porridge

After eating our fill of shabu-shabu, we added the noodles too. Once the broth had simmered long enough with meat, vegetables, and mushrooms, the noodles soaked up all that flavor and were delicious.

Adding the noodles on top of the shabu-shabu made the meal feel even more filling than the shabu-shabu alone. With unlimited vegetables, mushrooms, and now noodles too, we left completely full.

After finishing the noodles, of course the finale had to be porridge, right? Haha. We ladled the broth into the provided bowl, added the porridge ingredients, and cooked it up.
