Overview
Nabemono cuisine (鍋料理, nabe ryōri), or just nabemono is a variety of Japanese hot pot dishes filled with various ingredients and simmers.
It is not divided into individual portions in advance like stews and soups.
While the ingredients are simmering, each person takes some of the ingredients from the pot and eats them (using a deep-bottomed container with a handle).
Recently, some restaurants serve it in small pots for one person (a common practice at hot spring ryokan dinners).
One of the characteristics of this dish is that it is not only eaten as it is prepared, but it is sometimes recooked at the dining table, such as adding ingredients while eating, or using the leftover soup to make zosui (rice porridge) or noodle dishes.
