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.

Very high quality meats very high attention to detail with all sides, welcoming staff, was the best Japanese BBQ I have ever eaten. My only fix would be to have the all you can eat as a permanent option instead of just weekends.

My family and I had a delicious wagyu banquet. Excellent food and service but I have to say the yuzu ice cream to finish was a highlight - what a confident and refreshing dish to serve at the end of a banquet, loved that it wasn’t very sweet, and my family and throughly enjoyed our meal. Look forward to coming back again in the future.

A random find as most restaurants were closed or about to close when we reached. Service staff was very kind to let us in. Ordered the Deluxe Wagyu Set with came with oyster, jumbo ebi, pork jowl, onsen egg, oxtail soup, cabbage salad, rice & dessert. Topped up a Wagyu Platter for 2 for more wagyu galore. We thoroughly enjoyed this hearty meal!
