A Hit Fair Returns After Serving Over 1.3 Million Plates Last Year
Shabu-Yo, the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu chain operated by Skylark Restaurants Co., Ltd., begins its “Autumn Mushroom & Duck Shabu Fair” on Thursday, September 10, 2026. The limited-time promotion offers carefully selected autumn ingredients — including duck and six varieties of mushrooms — as an affordable all-you-can-eat experience. During the previous run (September 11 to November 19, 2025), the fair served more than 1.3 million plates, making it one of Shabu-Yo’s most popular seasonal events.
Fair Details and Pricing
- Period: Thursday, September 10, 2026 – mid-November (scheduled; may end without notice)

Duck: The “Beauty Meat” Star
Prized for its sweet fat and tender texture, duck is rich in protein, iron, and vitamins B1 and B2 — earning it the nickname “beauty meat.” It is a guilt-free choice even in an all-you-can-eat setting, perfect for the season of hearty appetites (aigamo duck is used).
Recommended Pairing: Hosozasa Negi
A limited-edition “hosozasa negi” — leek sliced thinly on the diagonal like bamboo leaves — joins the lineup. Briefly dip the leek in broth, then wrap it in freshly shabu-shabued duck for an exquisite bite combining rich duck umami with crisp, fragrant leek.
Six Mushrooms and a Brand-New Broth
Low in fat and calories, mushrooms co-star in this fair. Alongside the regular shimeji, enoki, and kikurage, new additions include yama-nameko, cream-colored or white maitake, and white kikurage, bringing the total to six all-you-can-eat mushroom varieties across every course.
NEW: Porcini-Scented Mushroom Broth
The 11th broth born from the “New Broth Development Project” run with the fan community Oyasai Gakko Shabusha-bu. Built on a chicken base with concentrated bonito umami and the elegant aroma of porcini, it delivers a distinctly autumnal flavor. Japanese-style at heart, it transforms into a Western-style hot pot when paired with mozzarella cheese.
NEW: Hanamoshio Salt & Kabosu Sauce
A limited dipping sauce that lightens duck shabu and Kyushu black pork. Drizzle it like kabosu citrus juice over meat and mushrooms for a refreshing finish — it pairs beautifully with mushrooms too.
Recommended Finishing Dishes
- Mushroom risotto: mushroom broth + your favorite mushrooms + rice + mozzarella cheese, for a rich Western-style close.
- Kamo-nanban soba: soba sauce + shirodashi + soba + duck + toppings. Soba is all-you-can-eat with the duck shabu course and above; try ichimi pepper or yuzu kosho for variety.
Note: sinks and containers used to prepare soba are shared, so those with sensitivities should take care.
Kyushu Black Pork Returns, Kuroge Wagyu Now Standard
The ever-popular Kyushu black pork makes a limited-time comeback, offering tender meat, abundant umami, and delicate sweetness without heaviness — an excellent match for the hosozasa negi and kabosu sauce. Meanwhile, Kuroge Wagyu has become a permanent option, delivering a melt-in-the-mouth texture and refined sweetness at an accessible price. It is especially recommended with the authentic sukiyaki broth.
Ideal for Silver Week and Respect for the Aged Day
With no time limit and free dining for preschoolers, the fair suits Silver Week outings and three-generation gatherings on Respect for the Aged Day. Check the official Shabu-Yo fair page for full details, and consider the Skylark app for exclusive coupons and points.
