      What is it? It's Japanese fried chicken!! Juicy tender pieces of chicken deep fried and served on a bed of lettuce. (yes you can call it JFC 😉 )

    • Edamame [枝豆]

      3.99

      Literally translated as "stem bean" because it was traditionally sold while still on a stem. Edamame is a classic in every Japanese restaurant. Contrary to popular belief, edamame aren't really snow peas but rather young soy beans still in the pod. They're good on their own but in Japan edamame and beer go hand-in-hand the same way bread and butter does here!

    • Gyoza (6 pcs) [餃子]

      Served with a sauce made from rice vinegar and soy sauce but if you want the authentic Japanese culinary experience, ask the server for the rice vinegar, soy sauce and chile oil so you can flavour it to your liking, it's how we do it back home in Japan.

      Two pieces are served with each cut in half along with a sauce made from a mix of rice vinegar and soy sauce.

      • Ingredients: chicken, bamboo shoot, dried mushroom, green pepper and vermicelli.
