This celebration of the timeless Japanese fireside grilling technique promises to ignite senses and warm the soul.
Robatayaki, which translates to “fireside-cooking,” is a revered Japanese technique perfected over centuries. Picture chefs grilling an array of fresh, high-quality ingredients over an open flame, their skilled hands coaxing out the natural and vibrant flavors of the food, delivering an unparalleled depth and richness to every bite. At Far & East, the age-old tradition of robatayaki is reimagined with a contemporary flair, offering a dining experience that is as engaging as it is delicious.

The robatayaki menu at Far & East is both exquisite and diverse, featuring meticulously grilled selections of meats, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables. Vegetarians can indulge in crispy Tofu Katsu Kushiyaki, the earthy combination of Goma, Asparagus, and Kinoko, and the umami-rich Grilled Sweet Miso Onigiri. For seafood and meat lovers, the Shichimi Togarashi Teriyaki Gindara offers a spicy-sweet treat, while the Chilli Garlic Tako Kushiyaki brings a bold, fiery twist. The highlight is the Grilled Lobster, luxuriously paired with truffle and fresh wasabi soy, promising an exquisite experience. The chefs at Far & East are artists with a deep understanding of grilling techniques, ensuring that each dish is a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The ingredients, sourced directly from Japan, are prepared with utmost precision, ensuring that the true essence of robatayaki shines through.
