Innards like beef intestines and tripe are allowed to simmer in a soup base seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and chili pepper.

Instructions to make A Famous Hakata Speciality - The Soup is Yummy! Motsu Nabe (offal hotpot):
- Process the raw offal: Wash the offal well especially on the insides under running water. Blanch in boiling water briefly. When a lot of scum comes off, drain into a colander or sieve, and wash off any impurities under running water.
- Slice the garlic, and the red chili pepper. Cut up the cabbage and chives into big pieces. Shred up the mushrooms into large clumps. Put the ● ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the garlic and chili pepper.
- Line the bottom of the pot with several pieces of cabbage, and put the offal on top. Layer the rest of the cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, bean sprouts and chives on top in that order.
- When the pot comes to a boil, lower the heat so that it doesn't boil over. Simmer until the cabbage is wilted without stirring. Stir everything once and it's done.
- At the end when just some broth is left, add the rice and swirl in the beaten egg and make a porridge as the "shime" (the last part of the hotpot) - it's delicious! Sprinkle in some chopped green onion to taste and enjoy.
- Appuru Akko tried this and added ramen noodles at the end. Next time I'm going to try that as the "shime"!! Miemie tried udon noodles!

The shiro motsu-nabe, a specialty of the restaurant, has a light Japanese dashi-based soup, concentrating the umami flavor in each bite of offal.
Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood
A lot of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to avoid them. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that basically can raise your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at dealing with depression. You should make sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to raise your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.
If you want to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you overcome depression.
Grains can be great for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can really bring you down! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods more quickly than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Green tea is wonderful for moods. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help raise your mood as well!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try these tips instead!
