Shabu shabu is a dish where meat (usually beef or pork) is thinly cut and cooked quickly in a simmering pot of dashi stock and served with dipping sauce (usually sesame sauce or ponzu). Vegetables and noodles are added too. You might wonder about the differences between mizutaki and shabu shabu. In fact, they are really quite similar. The first and most fundamental difference is that shabu-shabu is made with beef, and mizutaki is made with chicken as the main ingredient. One major similarity between mizutaki and shabu-shabu that is not found in regular nabe dishes is that the base broth is unseasoned. You can see that both are based on "enjoying the taste of the ingredients themselves." With this in mind, it's good to use high-quality ingredients for mizutaki and shabu shabu.
