Do you know Japanese Sansho pepper?
Fresh Sansho is at its peak right now, bursting with citrusy aroma and delicate spice. We fold it into our mignonette and pair it with Shigoku oysters for a bright, seasonal bite. 🦪🌿

Classic steak, Japanese twist 🇯🇵🥩
Our American Wagyu NY Strip is served with rich black garlic yakiniku sauce (Japan’s take on BBQ), paired with umami butter and freshly grated wasabi.
Try it the right way: add a small touch of butter and wasabi on top, then dip into the sauce…!
Deep, bold, and layered with flavor — this is not your usual steak
