Assorted Sashimi
Assorted sashimi comes with both halal certified wasabi and halal certified soy sauce. The fish was fresh and plump. Since the wasabi does not has strong spicy in the nose, it is very easy to have. Mix the soy sauce with wasabi and dip the fish a bit into the sauce then enjoy!

Ozaki beef fillet steak
After enjoying the three appetizers, here it comes the main dish, Ozaki beef fillet steak! The steak comes in 100 g and you can choose how you want to have it (medium rare, well-done). Basically it will be served in medium rare, but don’t hesitate to ask the staff if you want the meat more done! They will assist you kindly.
As mentioned above, Ozaki beef is the top branded wagyu in Japan with extremely soft melting sensation. This time we had it in medium rare. Once put it in the mouth, the softness texture and scent of the meat spread nicely inside the mouth.
The steak comes with some vegetables, hummus (mashed chickpeas and other beans, popular in the Middle East), grated radish, lemon, and wasabi. You can challenge yourself to have the meat with different kind of taste, whether eat together with grated radish, lemon, or wasabi!
After enjoying the main dish, next we can enjoy the rice porridge and dessert.
