Enjoy the best taste of our Sashimi Wagyu Beef Japanese Sake

What is yakiniku?

Yakiniku (焼き肉 or 焼肉), meaning “grilled meat”, is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine. “Yakiniku” originally referred to western “barbecue” food; today, “yakiniku” commonly refers to a style of cooking bite-sized meat (usually Wagyu beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over a flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation (sumibi, 炭火) or a gas/electric grill. It is one of the most popular national dishes of Japan. In many parts of the world, yakiniku is also commonly referred to as “Japanese barbecue

Why Wagyu beef?

The term “Wagyu”, which means Japanese (“wa”) and cow (“gyu”), essentially refers to the breed of Japanese cattle that have been domesticated from wild oxen. Wagyu beef has a rich, juicy, buttery, caramel taste sensation and a beefy flavour and aroma. The exceptional levels of oleic monosaturated fats – the healthy fats – are characteristic of Wagyu. It dissolves at lower melting temperatures – it literally melts in your mouth and with the flavour that never fails to satisfy.

Customer Reviews

This little Japanese gem is off the beaten track, tucked behind bigger venues on Park Road, Milton, but once you’ve found ut, you’ll want to keep going back. Its understated exterior belies its exquisite take on Yakiniku dinning (think private table barbecue) with an expertise in paddock to plate dinning with Australian sourced high grade Wagyu. If you’ve not tried it before, the staff will guide you on the technique of cooking your different cuts of meat over the flame grill set up at each dinning table. There are several set menu options, our favourite is the The Deluxe Wagyu Menu which will start you off with two fresh oysters, cabbage salad and kimchi, with two of the most delicious delicately crumbed and fried prawn ebi you’ll ever wrap your mouth around! This is followed by a very generous platter of various cuts of wagyu, each providing different taste and textural elements. Pork jowl and a creamy chilled onsen egg with steamed rice are perfect accompaniments. A nutritious ox tail bone broth is provided towards the end of the main course, and the meal ends with a perfect palate cleanser of refreshing yuzu sorbet. You will not be left wanting for anything by the end of this dinning experience. We have returned several times since our first meal, and each time the quality and care of the produce has been of the highest level. They have a la carte options as well, and an all you can eat on weekends which is amazing value for money. Cannot recommend enough.

Seriously, incredible place. We got the Celebration Banquet set for 4 people, great service and decent portions. Our main server, Ash, was extra helpful explaining the best timespans for each cutlet and meat type, and had good humour!! Great atmosphere, food, service, and should definitely be on your list of places to go!

Amazing spicy chinese hot pot 🔥🔥🔥 the food was really yummy and there are other non spicy soups as well, in case anyone is interested. I particularly loved the tofu and seafoods. The prices are also fair. Great service, the staff always willing to help you. Highly recommended for a dinner with friends.
