Ever tried Japanese hot-pot, the so-called "shabu-shabu"? Wanna try the legendary Kobe beef from cows that get daily massages, drink beer, and listen to classical music? Well, this is definitely the place to be for the ultimate shabu-shabu experience. Founded in 1961, Seryna has expanded into a corporation with 3 locations within Tokyo: its flagship store in Roppongi, a branch on the 52nd floor of the Sumitomo Building in West Shinjuku, and another branch located on the busy street in Ginza.
Having tried all three locations, I personally recommend the Shinjuku branch for its amazing view of the city, and the Ginza branch for you shopaholic ladies and gents (since it is located on a street with lots of luxury boutiques and department stores). The "must-try" items are its beef and kani (crab) shabu-shabu. I would suggest ordering from the set menu, and for the first-timers definitely try the shabu-shabu or stone-grilled steak course. For those of you who are interested in A La Carte, here are some good ones to try:
