Exquisite Wagyu Beef at Arashi Yakiniku Charcoal Grill You Have to Try!

Do you remember dining at a barbeque restaurant and coming out smelling like food? Not at Arashi Yakiniku Charcoal Grill Restaurant, where dining tables are equipped with cutting edge grill imported from Japan. This technology prevents the splattering of oil and fumes so you can enjoy quality Japanese yakiniku in an air-conditioned environment. We were curious to find out what they had to offer, so we brought a group of OpenRice members to the recently-opened restaurant situated along Boat Quay to experience what they have to offer.

Delicious a la carte selection to satiate your appetite

There is an extensive menu featuring a variety of ala carte items from Arashi Kaisen Salad – Chef’s Salad (top left) to Ninniku Gohan – Garlic Fried Rice (bottom right). Our members commented that the salad which consists of salmon slices, prawns, shredded crab sticks and fish roe drizzled with light vinaigrette dressing was very refreshing. The garlic fried rice that is stir-fried ala minute looked plain but the aroma was irresistible. Besides a selection of condiments that go with the delectable grilled meats, we were given the option of ordering a serving of Namuru – Pickled Vegetables (top right) or Assorted Vegetable (bottom left) to cleanse our palates from the savoury meats.

Arashi Yakiniku has a selection of seafood dishes toot!

Most of us will think that when it comes to yakiniku, it’s all about meat and more meat. Thankfully, they have numerous seafood dishes on their menu for those who love variety like the mouth-watering Tempura Moriwase – Battered Prawns and Vegetables (top right). Our tastebuds were tickled with the Asari Soup (left) packed with umami flavour and Gindara Nituke – Braised Black Cod Fish in Sweet Soya Sauce (top center). Coming to seafood for grill, the Assorted Seafood Platter (bottom right) proved to be a bang for the buck with fresh selections like the tiger prawns, scallops, squid rings and salmon butter yaki that received many thumbs up of approval from our members.

Indulge on different cuts of Japanese A4 Wagyu

Being a restaurant that specializes in yakiniku, they offer a comprehensive selection of meats especially Wagyu from Japan and Australia. We indulged on three different cuts of Japanese A4 Wagyu: Tenderloin, Sirloin and Ribeye (top) - served lightly sprinkled with sesame seeds. If you order this, you can choose to grill it as it is or dip into a unique shoyu-based sauce before grilling it to achieve your preferred doneness.

Meat lovers rejoice with succulent Japanese Kurobuta and Chicken

Besides Wagyu, the Japanese Kurobuta lovers enjoyed the succulent Collar (top left) part that is highly sought after. The collar meat is less fatty and doesn’t dry out when cooked for a long time. For fans of bacon, they loved the ravishing slices of Belly (right) that had that melt-in-your-mouth texture. Of course, we have to mention the Momi Tare Chicken – Shoyu Marinated Chicken (bottom left); it has a nice sesame fragrance along with shoyu to enhance the flavor of the tender chicken slices.

It’s a gratifying meal for our OpenRicers!
