Wagyu Beef Specials: Japan VS. Australia

Heads up, beef lovers. It's time to channel some of this month's paycheck towards the rich and the marbled - Wagyu beef. Spoil yourselves silly over a seven-course menu starring the delicate Yamagata Wagyu beef or enjoy a perfect pairing of Robbins Island Wagyu selections and fellow Tasmanian wines. Yamagata Wagyu Beef at Keyaki 12 Aug to 14 Sep | From $160 for prefixe menus

Make your way to Keyaki for an indulgence in the rich flavours and tender textures of Yamagata Wagyu Beef, which carries more intense flavours and extra layers of gorgeous marbling – thanks to an extended maturation period in Zaou Farm. Chef Hiroshi Ishii does justice to the Grade A-4 Wagyu beef in three specially crafted seven-course menus: Hagi Menu ($160), Kikyo Menu ($170) and Susuki Menu ($180). The meal starts with a seasonal amuse buche, chawanmushi and a salad, following some serious marbled treats for the palate. Highlights include Grilled Miso-Cured Wagyu Sirloin, Steamed Wagyu Ribeye on Rice and Wagyu Sirloin Teppanyaki. And for dessert, a mildly refreshing slice of Japanese musk melon gently clears the palate without stealing off the palate, the beef’s rich and buttery notes For reservations, please call +65 6826 8240 or email celebrate.sin@panpacific.com.
