Japanese restaurant group Colowide is introducing its shabu-shabu hot-pot chain to Vietnam via a franchise network.

Its first On-Yasai hot pot location opens at Vincom Mega Mall in Hanoi this month, being run by affiliate Colowide Vietnam.

The 260 sqm outlet seats 128 diners, and the monthly sales target is about US$80,000.
