No press kits, simple, straight forward information and a most sincere invite were all this establishment needed to get me sold. The first and only, truly healthy and beautifying hot pot that not only claims serious benefits but tastes oh so good as well is now open!
Bijin Nabe, the restaurant name, also happens to be what their main hot pot dish is called. The hotpot consists of pure Jidori chicken which is a special type of free range chicken that is grown under strict quality standards. This type of chicken is tastier, meatier and richer in collagen compared to ordinary chicken. The bones are stewed for eight hours until it forms a rich, silky pudding like consistency that is served to you until it melts into a soup.
The pudding is made from pure Jidori chicken bones, salt and water. Collagen is a substance in our bodies that helps keep us young, firm and supple. Sadly, as we age, collagen production drops and we need ways to replenish it. Collagen is not only good for our skin and for helping us look youthful but it also strengthens our bones and muscles. Bijin Nabe offers a delicious way of doing so.

collagen pudding
as the pudding melts into a broth, you will be given a taste of it in its purest form before the other ingredients are added… served with dipping sauces of soy sauce, yuzu, leeks in sesame oil and chili paste thereafter.
Aside from whole chicken parts, this hot pot has ground chicken that is made into chicken balls, assorted vegetables, tofu skin, prawns and mushrooms.
Some of my favorites served with our hot pot dinner…
oriental style caesar salad—so refreshing!
fried battered eggplant with sweet chili sauce
chicken nanban with tartar sauce
chicken wings for the win
meal ender; half cooked japanese rice & egg poured into the thick collagen rich stock and stirred. so deliciously comforting
There are so many other dishes to try in their menu and I cannot wait to go back and try them. But always as a side to their star which is the collagen rich hot pot developed through Japanese technology.
