No, but in a high-end restaurant, it is only certain that you will have trouble
because you just don't know the right table manners of Japanese foods, no one laughs you, though.
This is a short film of shabu shabu, useing expressions a little exaggerated,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NabemonoIn other words, like a party meal, so it is the same as several people eat a big pizza.
Sukiyaki main character is meat(beef usual, but pork and chicken also used),
but shabu shabu is also used "fish" instead of meat, "Tai(=sea bream) shabu" and
"Buri(=amberjack) shabu" are very famous, also dismantling work of fishes is not so hard.

If you really want to eat alone without being disturbed by anyone, you can order it
"room meals" at mid or high class Japanese ryokans in Onsen town cheaper than mid Tokyo.

Also you can.

so I think that this is enough for beginners, not only hi-end ones, no worry.
I think that you are surprised at the quality and seasoning of the meat and more,
but if you come from a country where you do not eat "raw eggs", that one might be impacted.
I do not know how many times you ate "genuine" Japanese foods.
You may be proud of if you are caught in Japan by this Japanese guy.
