Japanese Food

Our menu blends everyday favourites and refined dishes. Enjoy soul food classics, as well as specialties like sea scallops from Hokkaido, and grilled wagyu beef from Kagoshima — considered among the best in the world.

Looking for a deeper Japanese culinary journey? Try our omakase menu — a multi-course, chef’s choice experience that showcases beautiful ingredients and the essence of true Japanese flavour.

Japanese Cocktails

Our cocktail bar is a creative space where tradition meets innovation. Most syrups and infused spirits are made in-house, and we feature Japanese ingredients like yuzu, saké, and matcha.

The result? Unique cocktails that pair beautifully with our food.
