Wagyu Kaiseki

10 course tasting menu, costing $1700/person sounds like a hefty amount of money, but trust me it's worth every penny! Even going for the second time in the past 3 months, the food is still delicious & mouth watering.

Here were the courses that night (changes everyday): Tomato, Nama Yuba & Cucumber Somen and Oba . Grilled Wagyu Top Blade Muscle with Shishitou and Matsutake . Negi Toro Sushi & Abalone and Mitsuba with Sesame Sauce . Taraba Crab Shinjo Clear Soup . Chef's Selection . Grilled Lobster with Egg Yolk Sauce . Miyazaki Jitori & Eggplant with Lotus Root Mochi Mizore Ni . Charcoal Grilled Wagyu . Sea Urchin Truffle Rice . Dessert - Melon & Black Sugar Icecream.

Everything served that night was impeccable! 10 courses sounds like a lot of food, but everything here at Wagyu Kaiseki is proportioned correctly. Bite sized portions big enough so that you can get all the flavors and textures in your mouth.

Their signature & my most favored: Sea Urchin Truffle Rice! It comes to the diner's table, family style in a clay pot. Once the lid is opened, the entire room fills up with the aroma of uni & truffle. These smells are powerful on your senses and its highly likely you'll be going back from seconds. Don't forget to ask for the 'fan ziu' (rice banana) - crispy and flavorful - absolutely delicious!

Unfortunately they are only open for dinner. Unless of course you are one of the lucky few that can afford a 'Wagyu beef refrigerator', then you have the privilege of going at lunch time. Otherwise, diners will have to wait until dinner - reservations are a must, especially if you are planning to go with a large group! The restaurant is small but cozy, with only 2 private rooms , a bar area (approximately seats 6 - 8 people) and a 4 person table outside.
