Toriya Kanbe Japanese Restaurant in Makati: Serving Japanese Hotpot Dishes, Rice Bowls, and Yakitori
Hakata Mizutaki, or simply Mizutaki, is a Japanese chicken hotpot that is one of the most popular dishes in Fukuoka, Japan.
Restaurants serving this traditional dish often use farm-fresh chicken, chicken bones, and other umami-rich parts that are cooked for long periods of time, creating a flavorful broth that is easy to savor as a comfort food after a long and winding day.
