MK Guide Recommends
Kumachan Onsen turns traditional hot pot on its head, serving individual nabe dishes with a literal melt-in-your-broth bear. Each soup base begins with a collagen-rich gelatin in the shape of a bear soaking in an “onsen,” which slowly dissolves into a flavorful broth as you dine. Set in a whimsical, pastel-colored space up the stairs from Shibuya’s Udagawacho, the restaurant is a hit with couples, tourists, and groups looking for something offbeat and photo-ready. Beyond the visuals, the quality of the ingredients—like thin-sliced pork, seafood, and seasonal vegetables—backs up the experience. Popular for birthdays, dates, and social media snapshots, Kumachan Onsen is where kawaii meets comfort food.
