It's a dense, calorific carbohydrate bomb, but incredibly satisfying.

The passion and hard work that goes into raising this wagyu is evident in its taste.
- Gyutan (Beef Tongue) — Gyutan cooked so gently and meticulously that it's incredibly juicy and tender, unlike the usual chewy texture. It's so good, you wouldn't know it was beef tongue without seeing it cooked. A pinch of salt is all it needs to unleash its flavor.
- Grilled Wagyu with Maldon Salt — Beautifully charred wagyu beef, served with Maldon Crystal British salt for a fusion of cultures. The meat is buttery, juicy, and melts in your mouth, reminding you of what beef can truly be.

It's not oily, allowing the freshness of the shrimp to shine through.
