About Botan Nabe

The dish description pairs red and white miso with a kombu-and-bonito stock. Sake and mirin add further seasoning, while powdered sansho provides the aromatic finish at the table.
Chinese cabbage, green onion, chrysanthemum greens, enoki mushrooms, burdock and carrot surround the meat. The ingredients share the cooking pot, with the recipe also including a root vegetable described as yam or taro.
