Exclusive Fukushima Menus

1. Fukushima Beef Steak (¥2,800)

Indulge in the flagship dish featuring the renowned Fukushima beef. Known for its fine texture and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, this steak is carefully cooked to perfection. Each piece is grilled until beautifully browned, enhancing its rich flavors. Served with a special Japanese-style sauce and a touch of fresh wasabi, this dish embodies luxury and flavor that pairs wonderfully with both wine and sake.
