(Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama; President: Saki Yanagi), which operates the shabu-shabu restaurant "Shabu-Shabu Dontei," will be offering the "~Shabu-Shabu with Spring Sea Bream Dashi and Floating Cherry Blossoms~" menu for a limited time from Friday, April 3, 2026, to mid-May 2026 (planned) at all 31 of its locations.
■ Enjoy the Season with Shabu-Shabu in a "Spring Sea Bream Dashi" with Floating Cherry Blossoms
We have prepared a special "spring-style dashi" made by carefully extracting the umami of sea bream and adding a subtle hint of cherry blossom fragrance. The elegant umami that spreads in your mouth the moment you taste it, along with the soft, lingering aroma of cherry blossoms, further enhances the flavor of the shabu-shabu.
As limited-time spring dipping sauces that bring out the flavors of the ingredients, we also offer a "Hyuganatsu Japanese-Style Dashi Dipping Sauce" and a "Fukinome Miso" with a pleasant bitterness. These combine with the umami of the dashi to bring a delightful change to the taste.
Furthermore, as seasonal spring vegetables, we have sourced sweet "new potatoes" and fragrant "seri" (Japanese parsley), one of the seven herbs of spring. Swishing them in the sea bream dashi enhances their natural deliciousness, spreading a flavor unique to spring.
A "spring feast enjoyed with dashi" that only a shabu-shabu specialty restaurant could create.
Please enjoy this season-exclusive hot pot at Dontei.
*Spring Sea Bream Dashi with Floating Cherry Blossoms
A spring-exclusive dashi made by extracting the umami of sea bream, adorned with cherry blossom petals. As it heats, the petals slowly open, creating a spring landscape in the pot. It's a unique "dashi experience" from Dontei that allows you to enjoy the season not just with your taste buds, but with your eyes as well. Enjoy a spring moment as if you were flower viewing right inside the restaurant.
*Hyuganatsu Japanese-Style Dashi Dipping Sauce
A spring-exclusive dipping sauce that combines Japanese-style dashi with the refreshing aroma and gentle acidity of Hyuganatsu citrus. When you dip the shabu-shabu ingredients, the lightness of the citrus is added to the umami of the sea bream dashi, creating a crisp aftertaste.
The subtle sweetness and pleasant bitterness overlap, creating a flavor that is both refreshing and deep. It's a dish that lets you enjoy a spring-like lightness to the very last bite.
◇What is Hyuganatsu?
A citrus native to Japan, it is in season from spring to early summer. It is characterized by a gentle acidity similar to grapefruit and an elegant sweetness, with a refreshing aroma that lightens the aftertaste.
*Spring Fukinome Miso
A special miso that utilizes the pleasant bitterness of butterbur sprouts ("fukinome"), heralding the arrival of spring.
By adding the unique bitter flavor of butterbur sprouts to a rich miso, we have created a deep and complex taste.
When added to ingredients swished in the sea bream dashi, it harmonizes with the dashi's elegant umami while adding depth and a lingering finish to the flavor.
Enjoy the unique bitterness and umami of spring that spreads with every bite.
*Spring Hot Pot Vegetables <Seri & New Potatoes>
As seasonal vegetables that signal the arrival of spring, we have prepared "new potatoes" and "seri" (Japanese parsley). New potatoes are characterized by their fresh, fluffy texture and gentle sweetness. Seri is one of the seven herbs of spring, attractive for its refreshing aroma and subtle bitterness.
Please enjoy the taste of the season along with the dashi that brings out the natural deliciousness of the ingredients.
