Ushabu is a pretty small restaurant residing in Tremont. Very quaint and intimate. There was a wait when I got there, but luckily I was flying solo and got seated at the end of the bar meant for handicapped. Lol oh joy. I started by order a bottle of the sparkling "mio" sake. It reminds me a lot of drinking moscato but not AS sweet. Still good and easy to drink though. I began my meal with the Lobster Yaki Suba. Although it was tasty, it's totally not worth the $17. I got maybe 4-5 noodles in it, a total of possibly 3 pieces of lobster, and the rest of it was made up of bean sprouts, which I happen to hate. Womp womp womp. I moved onto my main attraction - the shabu shabu. I went with the wagyu round. Good quality meat. The wagyu was perfectly marbled and tender. I went with the togarashi soup base because I like it spicy! I liked the selection of veggies and the udon to finish. My first time having legit shabu shabu, and I wasn't disappointed.
