A5 Miyazaki Wagyu
This highly prized Japanese wagyu is a standout, known for its exceptional marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It's often a highlight of the tasting menu or available as an à la carte option.

Seafood Pancake
A thick and crispy Korean pancake, often topped with uni, offering a savory and rich appetizer. It's intentionally underseasoned to pair well with the accompanying dipping sauce.
"The one dish I would recommend is their seafood pancake, very crispy and delicious."

Matcha Strawberry Bingsoo
A light and refreshing shaved ice dessert, featuring matcha and strawberry flavors. It's a popular and highly praised way to conclude the meal.
"The strawberry matcha bingsoo was the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life"
Khadija Kapacee
Naeng Chae (Cold Seafood Salad)
A unique cold seafood salad with shrimp, tuna, and scallops, dressed in a creamy pine nut dressing. It offers a refreshing and flavorful start to the meal.
"Started with cold seafood salad aka “Naeng Chae” Could not believe how they could bring up so much flavour to go great with seafood from pine nuts dressing. Unlike ceviche there was not much acidity, but it was creamy & delicious. Shrimp, tuna and scallops in the salad were super fresh."

Iberico Pork
This Spanish pork, often the Presa cut, is a surprisingly popular choice among the premium meats, offering a distinct flavor and texture.
"My favorite was believe it or not pork from Spain."
