The Tempura Corn Crunch Roll offers a surprising combination of land and sea with angel prawn, sweet Japanese corn, and creamy avocado wrapped in a satisfying crunch.

WAKUDA is also firing up the grill and adding more sizzling Yakimono options. For meat lovers, the Wagyu Beef Tenderloin is grilled to perfection, served with seasonal vegetables, vibrant Shiso Chimichurri, and garlic butter, bringing the revered Wagyu to new heights. Rounding out this selection is the Grilled Unagi, delicately brushed with eel sauce and seasoned with kinome and sansho pepper, delivering a harmonious blend of sweet and smoky flavours. Adding to this is an inventive twist on gyozas, with offerings like the Wagyu Gyoza paired with a savoury black garlic ponzu and Truffle Edamame Gyoza garnished with fresh truffle slices.

Those with a sweet tooth will rejoice as WAKUDA’s dessert section welcomes a few new additions as well.
