Shoyu Ramen & Wagyu Sushi & Matcha
What You Will Learn
Experience the best of Japanese cuisine in one unforgettable meal. Start with our signature Shoyu Ramen, featuring a rich, savory soy sauce broth full of deep umami. Then enjoy two premium sushi styles: elegant Nigiri Sushi showcasing the natural flavor of fresh fish on hand-pressed seasoned rice, and luxurious Wagyu Maki Sushi made with tender, melt-in-your-mouth Japanese Wagyu beef rolled with rice, nori, and fresh vegetables. Complete this perfect Japanese experience with a traditional tea time — premium vibrant Matcha and delightfully chewy Warabi Mochi dusted with fragrant kinako.
Shoyu Ramen (Soy Sauce Broth Ramen)
A classic Japanese noodle dish! We use a rich, savory broth made from traditional Japanese soy sauce and vegetables. It has a deep umami flavor without using any animal ingredients.
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 plant-based dessert. It is a chilled, delightfully chewy, jelly-like confection, typically enjoyed with a dusting of sweet roasted soybean flour (Kinako).
