What is your favorite 'nabe' hot pot?
November 7th is "Nabe no hi" or 'hot pot day'. As I wrote in a post about it, there are many different type of hot pot in Japan. What type of 'nabe' do you like in Japan? The post about 'hot pot day' ; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/G68de-food_wako_shi_saitama
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com

This question is making me hungry and I can't choose because I have liked all the nabe that I've eaten. I asked a local the same question yesterday and got a few unique (gourmet?) answers that I'll share about. I have never tried these ones. Wild boar nabe, known as bontan nabe. Duck (kamo) nabe, maybe best to get from a restaurant as it's hard to find fresh duck meat. And blowfish (fugu) nabe, known as tecchiri.
