Guppy by Ai

guppyGuppy by Ai recognises that in the winter, the first priority is to stay warm. Enter their range of special ‘Hot Pots’ for winter. There’s vegetarian and prawn variants, but the most special offering? Nabemono, a thick stew {usually made with Black Chicken} that’s made and kept heated throughout your meal. It features tastes unique to the Japanese cuisine; best way to beat the cold if you ask us!
