ABURI SUSHI at Waterworks Food Hall is reviving its monthly hotpot series for a single evening on Tuesday, October 21, and this instalment is all about peak season matsutake and buttery wagyu. Chef Ryotaro Matsuzaki leads a nine-course shabu shabu tasting with seatings at 6 pm and 8 pm. Tickets are $125 per guest plus tax and gratuity, with an optional A5 Miyazaki wagyu upgrade. Expect an intimate service with the chef on site to interact with guests throughout the night. Tickets are available on Tock or through Aburi Sushi’s website.

The format is classic shabu shabu with a polished Aburi touch. Diners start with delicate bites and sashimi, move to a fragrant tableside hotpot centred on matsutake and wagyu, then finish with refined temaki and a clean dessert. It is comfort and craft in equal measure, with premium product and precise execution.
