Menu

 

The menu presented in a wooden tablet, in both English and Japanese.

 

 

Not very extensive, just two beef donburi items. Namely, beef sukiyaki don and kiwami wagyu sukiyaki don.

 

 

Kawai (cute) looking spice boxes.

Ichimi - chilli flakes

Yuzu shichimi - 7 spice with yuzu

Sansho - Japanese pepper

 

 

 

Rice cooked over open fire brings out the natural sweetness of the grains with a bit of a nuttyness tone.

 

 

 

The marbling of the wagyu beef looks amazing. Yonezawa beef Grade A4 is considered one of famous beef brands in Japan.

 

Beef prepared a la minute. First the tare sauce is poured into the pot. Once it bubbles, throw in the beef and let it cook for less than a minute to maintain that tenderness.

Once done, beef is placed over the bowl of rice. Beneath the meat, lies a piece of beancurd and some cabbages. Accompaniments included a bowl of miso soup which was prepared using two types of miso paste and fish powder. It was rich with a umami mouthfeel. Also, by the side, was a sesame beancurd with a gooey sweet sauce. Texturally tasted like mochi. Of course, not forgetting free flow pickles, are provided by the side.

This set, Kiwami Wagyu Sukiyaki Don ($29.90++) comes with miso soup, an onsen egg, sesame beancurd and free flow pickles.

 

This was one of the better rice bowls I have enjoyed in a long while. The only component that I did not fancy was the sesame beancurd. For the price of $29.90 for the wagyu beef set, is reasonable. There is another set (not featured here), the Beef Sukiyaki Don (US prime beef) goes for $13.90++ which also includes all the accompaniments at the wagyu.

 

Beef  Sukiyaki Don Keisuke officially opens its doors to the public on September 24th, 2018.
