A gelato bar with scoops including matcha burnt cheesecake are all made in-house. Beside it is a wall of self-serve, Japanese-inspired baked goods. There’s melon pan, a bun with a cross-hatched streusel topping; French sweets such as financiers in flavours including matcha and hojicha; and sweet potato shio-pan (Japanese salt bread). All are baked on-site.
At the back of the space, a sushi and sake bar offers three styles of rice wine – available individually or as a flight – plus sushi including the popular Sudoku platter – a segmented tray of nine kinds of sushi and sashimi. Meanwhile, the Wagyu Kitchen is the place for luxe hot pot featuring Japanese beef; kushiyaki (grilled skewers, from beef to pork belly); and rice bowls topped with wagyu short-rib, an onsen egg and pickles. There’s also plenty besides beef, including karaage chicken and grilled unagi eel.
Between the sweet and savoury counters sits a dedicated matcha bar where ceremonial-grade green tea is whisked to order. It’s featured in over 20 drinkable and edible items, from lattes to matcha-coconut cold brew and towering kakigori (shaved ice) topped with mochi, red bean and matcha jelly. Matcha powder can also be purchased in the eatery’s small retail area.
