Beautiful, Spindrift! I notice the mushrooms are not listed in the recipe ingredients. Are they an add-on, or a traditional part of the dish?

The Shitake mushrooms are listed...I posted the picture from the internet...it has other ingredients in it....of course this is just a simple 'hotpot' and extras can be added! I googled 'Ishikari Nabe' and came up with thousands of similar recipes.... Here's a Wikipedia link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NabemonoReiko has a large Japanese clay pot that she puts directly onto the gas flame.
