With the temperature dropping dramatically in the morning and evening, it's the time of year when we can enjoy warm nabe dishes.
Nabe" is a popular dish every year, but this year's Nabe, which reflects the times, is attracting a lot of attention.
Here is a restaurant in Sapporo.
Small pots about 20 cm in diameter are placed in front of customers.
Whether coming alone or in a group, individuals can enjoy their favorite ingredients in their own pots and pans with their favorite flavoring.
This restaurant has been serving "one-person nabe" style meals for the past three years, but now that the corona epidemic has struck, the popularity of "konabe," which is eaten separately, is said to be increasing.
You can find it at a home improvement center in Sapporo.
There are several types of small pots and pans of different materials and shapes, such as enamel and stainless steel, that can be used to make a single serving.
The best-selling products are stove and pot sets, which you can enjoy right away if you buy one of these and fuel. There is twice as much demand for this product as last year.
In the coming cold season, one-pot dishes are often served at the dinner table.
This year, one-person nabe, which can be enjoyed safely with family and friends while preventing infection, is likely to become a staple.
