starters and mains
The spotlight here is undeniably the karaage, Japanese fried chicken prepared to perfection with crispy exteriors and juicy, tender interiors. Choose from the vibrant Red Karaage featuring fried chicken pieces coated in a Korean sweet-spicy Yangnyeom sauce and sprinkled with sesame, or savor the Nanban Karaage, marinated in a Japanese sweet-sour blend and served with a creamy homemade tartar sauce that adds an irresistible tangy finish. For purists, the Classic Karaage offers fried chicken marinated with Marukin soy sauce and complemented by a fresh lemon wedge to brighten each bite.
If you crave a spicier adventure, the Sriracha Karaage tantalizes with Southeast Asian chili sauce, chili flakes, crunchy peanuts, and fresh coriander for a bold, aromatic flavor profile. Each karaage main is available as a bento box, paired with fluffy rice and zesty pickled vegetables, making for a satisfying meal that balances indulgence and freshness.
desserts
Complete your dining experience with delightful traditional Japanese sweets. Mochi lovers will find temptation in several varieties, including Black Sesame (Goma), Matcha green tea, and Azuki red bean paste, all offering a soft, chewy texture and authentic flavors. For a playful presentation, try the Taiyaki—fish-shaped waffles filled with classic Japanese red bean, matcha cream, vanilla cream, or chocolate cream, each providing a unique twist on this beloved treat.
For something rich and moist, the Japanese Baumkuchen cake varieties come in chocolate, milk, strawberry, and banana flavors, offering a refined sweetness that pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or a casual coffee break.
drinks
Quench your thirst with a range of beverages that blend familiar favorites and authentic Japanese refreshers. Choose from classic soft drinks like Coca-Cola and Fanta, or explore traditional Japanese options such as Ramune, a nostalgic soda with a distinct bottle design, and a variety of teas including Jasmine Green Tea, Green Tea, and Matcha Genmai Tea, each offering delicate aromas and nuanced flavors.
Non-alcoholic Kirin beer rounds out the drink offerings, providing a crisp, refreshing accompaniment to the bold flavors of the karaage dishes.
