¥12,000 per person — Duration: 2.5 hours
What You Will Learn
Zaru Soba (Chilled Soba Noodles)
A 100% plant-based version of our traditional chilled noodles. The rich dipping sauce is crafted from premium Rausu kelp and dried shiitake mushrooms for a deep umami flavor. We use "Ni-hachi" noodles (80% buckwheat, 20% wheat) for the perfect balance of smooth texture and earthy aroma.
Nigiri Sushi
Nigiri Sushi is the most classic form of sushi in Japan. It consists of a small, hand-pressed oval of seasoned rice topped with a fresh slice of fish or seafood. Simple, elegant, and lets you enjoy the natural flavor of the ingredients.
Wagyu Maki Sushi (Rolled Sushi)
Wagyu Maki Sushi is a luxurious rolled sushi featuring premium Japanese Wagyu beef. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu is wrapped with rice, nori seaweed, and fresh vegetables. It's a rich and special Japanese sushi experience.
Matcha (Premium Green Tea)
Experience the taste of Japan with our traditional, finely milled green tea. It features a beautiful vibrant green color and a rich, deep, and earthy flavor.
Warabi Mochi (Traditional Japanese Jelly Sweet)
A popular traditional, naturally vegan dessert. It is a chilled, delightfully chewy, jelly-like confection, typically enjoyed with a dusting of sweet roasted soybean flour (Kinako).
Why This Menu
Enjoy a perfect balance of refreshing and luxurious Japanese flavors in one complete meal. Begin with our signature Vegan Zaru Soba — chilled "Ni-hachi" soba noodles (80% buckwheat) paired with a rich, deep umami dipping sauce made from premium Rausu kelp and dried shiitake mushrooms. Then savor two premium sushi styles: elegant Nigiri Sushi showcasing the pure taste of fresh fish on hand-pressed seasoned rice, and indulgent Wagyu Maki Sushi featuring tender, melt-in-your-mouth Japanese Wagyu beef rolled with rice, nori, and fresh vegetables. Conclude with a traditional Japanese tea time — vibrant premium Matcha and delightfully chewy Warabi Mochi dusted with fragrant kinako.
