Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most at Shabu-shabu Tajimaya Himeji Festa. All prices include tax.
What are the lunch hours?
Lunch is served 11:00-15:00 (last entry 15:00). A 60-minute course where the meat is also all-you-can-eat starts at 2,189 yen (incl. tax), and a set-portion lunch starts at 1,254 yen (incl. tax).
How long is the all-you-can-eat?
Lunch all-you-can-eat runs 60 minutes and dinner 100 minutes. With the set-portion lunch, the meat portion is fixed, so the vegetable buffet runs 60 minutes.
Can I choose between shabu-shabu and sukiyaki?
On the 100-minute dinner courses you can choose either shabu-shabu or sukiyaki.
How many broths can I choose from?
Seven broths: kombu, sukiyaki, yuzu-bonito, spicy red, sesame soy milk, miso tonkotsu and paitan. Two of them at dinner; at lunch, kombu plus one of your choice, per table.
Are vegetables and rice included?
The Tajimaya Vegetable Market offers more than 20 kinds of hotpot vegetables and ingredients at the buffet. Rice, pickles, soft drinks and ice cream are free-flow too, and at dinner Haagen-Dazs is available as well.
Is there a price for children?
We have prices for primary school children and for children aged 3 to pre-school. Dinner all-you-can-eat courses also have a senior (60 and above) price. Amounts differ by course, so please check each course page.
Can I book, and by when?
We take bookings online and by phone (079-282-0429). Course reservations close at 17:00 on the day of your visit; seat-only online bookings close at 20:30. Reservations are accepted from one guest.
Can I have Kobe beef as all-you-can-eat?
Yes — we have premium Kobe beef courses. Dinner is 100 minutes at 7,689 yen (incl. tax), lunch is 60 minutes at 6,985 yen (incl. tax), and the set-portion lunch is 4,620 yen (incl. tax).
