Blue Fin Tuna Tartare
Our journey begins with the Blue Fin Tuna Tartare.
This is a quintessential dish in Japanese culture, providing a burst of flavour and a delightful combination of textures.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the blue fin tuna, which is diced into buttery chunks and accompanied by an amakute sauce.
This adds an authentic Asian flavour and works alongside the tuna to really bring the dish to life.
This is all complemented by a dash of our chefs own teriyaki sauce, which adds a zesty kick to each bite. The final touches come int he form of a quail egg, some spring onions to add freshness, and a helping of caviar.
With only the finest ingredients used to create this dish, it provides many different elements of Asian cuisine all on one plate.
Popcorn Shrimp
Now for something a little more simple but by no means less tasty.
Our popcorn shrimp is a big fan favourite, and when alongside our spicy Japanese mayo, there is nothing better to kickstart your culinary journey into Pan-Asian cuisine.
The prawns are the key element here, and we source only the best, juiciest varieties to provide packs of flavour every time. Each one is coated and deep-fried to provide a satisfying crunch that goes perfectly with the tenderness of the prawn within.
With a wedge of lime, some chopped chive, and the aforementioned Japanese mayo to add a zing to the dish, this is ideal for getting your hands dirty and devouring some moreish Japanese food.
Lamb Cutlets
We’re going to step away from the seafood for a second now, and show you a dish that we love to make.
Our lamb cutlet dish is a bold fusion of flavours, providing the classic flavours of lamb but with an Asian twist.
Our spicy Korean glaze transforms the meat, infusing it with a depth of flavour that is complex and unmistakably Asian.
Accompanied by fresh kimchi and a sprinkling of delicate Japanese herbs, this dish is a plethora of combinations and textures that offers something new with every bite. We also add fried onions and chilli to further boost the taste.
The kimchi, with its crisp, tangy flavours, contrasts beautifully with the juicy lamb, creating a delightful interplay of flavours that is always a big fan-favourite.
