Hokkaido Menkoi Kumachan Onsen is a solo hot pot restaurant known for its adorable “Koguma Onsen” – a bear-shaped broth solidified with dietary fiber and collagen, giving the appearance of a bear relaxing in a hot spring. Since opening in 2021 on Miyamasuzaka in Shibuya, Tokyo, the shop went viral with over 8 million views on social media, earning a reputation as a must-visit spot with reservations booked a month in advance. In October 2024, it relocated to Shibuya Center Street. The menu has since expanded beyond individual hot pots to include photogenic sweets and savory dishes.
