About Hiroshima Oyster Dote Nabe

Dote means “mud wall”, and Dote Nabe refers to the method of spreading a thick layer of miso seasoning on the edges of the hot pot, then adding the soup base and ingredients into the pot. When the soup slowly boils, the oysters and vegetables will release moisture while the wall of miso melts into the soup, bringing different layers of flavour.
