We are delighted to announce that we are one out of three licensed restaurants in Singapore to serve Japan imported Kobe beef.

Award-winning Kobe beef is a highly prized and sought-after delicacy that is known for its incredible flavor, tenderness, and marbling. Kobe beef comes from a specific breed of Wagyu cattle raised in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan, where they are fed a special diet and raised in a stress-free environment to produce the unique qualities that set Kobe beef apart from other types of beef.

We offers our guests the rare opportunity to taste this tender and flavorful meat, known for its high levels of fat marbling.
