About Chanko Nabe
MAFF records this chicken chanko nabe among Tokyo's regional dishes, associating the hot-pot tradition with Sumida and sumo stables. Chicken thigh and chicken balls share the pot with tofu, fried tofu and a selection of vegetables.
Garlic and ginger season the chicken broth. Napa cabbage, carrot, long green onion, mizuna and shiitake contribute different textures, while kuzukiri adds another soft element to the broth.
The ingredients are cut into pieces and cooked together in the pot, with diners eating them as they become ready. MAFF notes that the recipe varies between regions and households.
