E-diaryコミュのshabu-shabu

As I wrote in my Japanese diary,

I went to my work place, shabu-shabu KATSURA at Nagai
as a customer.

I had a dinner with my friends of JHS.

The dinner was on me.

That was too great dinner!!
Very very delicious. Also, we're full completely!!

By the way, what is shabu-shabu in English??

How do I say?

Japanese "NABE" is a hot pot cooked at the table.

Of course, there is no word-for-word translation.

I have to explain in English.

Shabu-shabu is a hot pot cooked at the table.
You take a slice of beef in the pot for several seconds.
And you eat that beef with juice pressed from bitter
oranges, or sesame sauce.
Some kinds of vegetables are in the pot.
So you eat them as well.

That's too difficult!!

But, it may be a good way for improving English skill
to explain the Japanese food or traditional things
which can't be translated word-for-word.

Today, I have a special English class on 4th period.
I'll try to explain shabu-shabu to foreign people!!
