The ‘KIWAMI Course’ menu will be updated from 7 October for Spring/ Summer season🌻⛱️
The pictures show the second and third courses.

“Wagyu Yakiniku Lettuce Wrap”
Wrap the rich and juicy Wagyu beef in lettuce with your choice of vegetables and condiments. The contrast between the crispness and freshness of the raw vegetables and the juiciness of the A5 beef is exquisite, making this a perfect dish for spring/summer. The spicy miso sauce is also a great accent too!

“Fish & Rice”
Panned fresh white fish and seasoned rice infused with seafood juices are paired with an aromatic sauce flavoured with butter and soy sauce. This simple pilaf rice has a home taste that evokes a sense of nostalgia for Japanese people.
yuzu-flavored stem broccoli is a lovely garnish that evokes the feeling of spring!
And pairing it with our selection of w**e is especially recommended!

This spring and summer, we invite you to enjoy the ‘Kiwami’ course—a unique offering from Kazaguruma that incorporates a variety of elements into traditional Japanese cuisine.

Featured sake of the Month 🍶
JulyーHeiwa Doburoku

Doburoku is a type of sake that can be regarded as the origin of Japanese sake; unlike refined sake, it is bottled without filtering the moromi.
Produced using a very simple method involving only rice and rice koji, this sake is a masterpiece that embodies the very essence of doburoku. The rice used is ‘Nikomaru’, grown in Wakayama Prefecture. This rice is highly popular, characterised by its large, round grains, refreshing sweetness and unique texture.

t is characterised by an aroma reminiscent of steamed rice. With the first sip, you can sense a subtle effervescence resulting from fermentation, and a gentle, fizzy sensation spreads across the palate. This is followed by a delicate sweetness that fills the palate, harmonising with the natural flavour and richness of the rice, allowing you to savour the charm of doburoku at a leisurely pace. With an alcohol content of 9 per cent—which is on the lower side for sake—its light mouthfeel and mellow flavour make it particularly recommended for beginners. For this reason, we have included this product in our ‘Sake introduction’ set.

It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including rich flavours and fried foods. It is sure to open a new door to the world of sake for you.

New Zealand truffle season has begun!

The combination of aburi sushi and truffles is very popular and highly recommended.

It also pairs well with tempura fish seasoned with salt and olive oil. Enjoy it with a truffle-infused dipping sauce.

Enjoy seasonal truffle in a simple Japanese way 🇯🇵

Featured Sake of the month 🍶

JuneーKozaemon Bizen Omachi

There are over 100 varieties of rice used in sake. The ‘Omachi’ rice used in the sake we are introducing here is the only variety that has been used continuously for over 100 years.

Omachi rice is highly absorbent and dissolves easily, making it ideal for producing rich, full-bodied sake. It is often used to create sake with a plump sweetness and a floral aroma, or sake with a robust umami and a distinct acidity.

This Kozaemon Bizen Omachi is precisely such a full-bodied sake, offering a robust umami flavour. Please enjoy it with meat dishes; it is particularly recommended with our rich A5 Wagyu sukiyaki hotpot!
