Wagyu Beef with Sake Pairing

Beef was not traditionally eaten in Japan, but it gradually gained popularity with the arrival of foreigners during the Meiji period. Cooking techniques introduced from Korea were refined and further developed, and Japan’s meticulous craftsmanship eventually gave rise to today’s world-renowned Wagyu beef.
This restaurant carefully selects only the finest grades of beef and prepares each cut to highlight its unique flavors, textures, and characteristics. You may be surprised to discover just how many different ways there are to enjoy Wagyu beef!

Sweet, sour, fruity, or as crisp and clear as water—like wine, the world of sake offers a remarkable range of flavors.
For sake enthusiasts, few things are more satisfying than finding the perfect pairing: matching a richly flavored dish with an equally aromatic sake to elevate the umami.
The more you explore sake, the more intricate and profound it becomes—yet sometimes the most unexpected combinations turn out to be the most delightful. We say it a pleasure that is at once challenging and liberating.

By using uniquely Japanese seasonings such as soy sauce, dashi, and mirin, familiar beef is transformed into a style found only in Japan. Another hallmark of Japanese cuisine is its deep connection to the four seasons. At times, dishes are prepared with elaborate techniques to highlight the finest seasonal ingredients, while at other times, simple methods are chosen to let the natural flavors speak for themselves.

Beginning with an aperitif, the seven-course menu is paired with carefully selected sake by the chef.
Each course—ranging from slow-cooked Wagyu beef and delicate tartare to a perfectly seared steak, a dish simmered in fragrant dashi, and even a freshly fried cutlet sandwich—is prepared right before your eyes at the counter and presented with elegance.
From start to finish, the meal is full of surprises and delightful freshness, with every dish making you want to exclaim, “Wow!” all the way through to the final dessert.
Detailed explanations of the ingredients and preparation further heighten the anticipation, making the experience as engaging as it is delicious.

For those with an eye for art, this restaurant offers a space that is as inspiring as it is welcoming.
Subtle interior design is paired with carefully chosen artworks, from illustrations by Japanese pop artists and Dragon Ball artbooks, to walls adorned with traditional architectural ornaments and graceful partitions of fine washi paper.
Here, Japanese tradition is expressed with a light, modern touch—creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and refreshingly unique.
