Signature Dishes

  • Wagyu tartare

    The raw-beef tartare has a pronounced fatty aroma; mixing in egg yolk makes it richer, while nori adds a salty balance.

  • A5 Wagyu assortment

    Different cuts are freshly sliced, offering tender, springy, and richly fatty textures; the fat is aromatic without becoming heavy.

  • Yaki-sukiyaki (sirloin center)

    The sirloin center is seared first and then soaked in sukiyaki sauce before being dipped in egg; sweetness, beef-fat aroma, and silky egg texture come together, with a rich aroma that is not cloyingly salty.

  • Raw beef slices

    Tender and almost melt-in-the-mouth, with fresh ingredients; a choice for diners comfortable with raw food.

  • Curry rice

    The curry rice after the main course is also a highlight that rounds out the set menu.
