- Yakitori (Grilled Skewers)
Imagine sitting around a warm, bustling grill, the air filled with the mouthwatering
aroma of charcoal-grilled skewers. Yakitori, one of the staples of any Japanese
Izakaya, is all about simplicity and taste. Our chefs, armed with their expertise from
Japan, skillfully grill every skewer to smoky perfection. From succulent chicken
thighs to tender meatballs, each piece is marinated in traditional spices and sauces
that will tantalise your taste buds.
Why not try a skewer… or five? They’re perfect for sharing, so bring friends or come
ready to make some new ones! - Sashimi
There’s something truly magical about sashimi. It’s not just food; it’s an art form
where freshness is king. At Izakaya Group, we serve sashimi that is as visually
stunning as it is delicious. Our chefs hand-select the best cuts, ensuring every slice
is perfect. From vibrant salmon to buttery tuna, each piece is a testament to the
quality and purity of our ingredients.
Dive into our sashimi and experience the depth of flavours that only expertly
prepared, fresh fish can offer. It’s a taste of the ocean, right here in Malaysia. - Tempura
Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside — that’s the secret to perfect tempura, and
we at Izakaya Group have mastered this delightful contrast. Whether it’s fresh
vegetables or succulent seafood, our tempura is lightly battered and fried to a golden
crisp. It’s a satisfying crunch that unveils tender, flavorful interiors with each bite.
Pair our tempura with a dash of our homemade dipping sauce or a sprinkle of sea
salt to enhance the natural flavours. It’s a simple dish with complex tastes, ready to
capture your heart. - Izakaya-Style Tofu Dishes
Tofu is a versatile star in Japanese cuisine, and our Izakaya-style tofu dishes are no
exception. Experience the silky smoothness of our agedashi tofu, gently fried and
served in a warm dashi broth that complements its mild flavour beautifully. Or try our
hiyayakko, chilled tofu topped with a sprinkle of scallions, ginger, and soy sauce — a
refreshing dish that’s as clean and simple as it gets.
Our tofu dishes are a favourite for their comforting textures and subtle flavours,
perfect for balancing out a meal of bold, spicy, or fried foods. - Japanese Curry
Curry in a Japanese restaurant? Absolutely! Our Japanese curry is a rich, hearty stew
that’s profoundly comforting, especially on a rainy day. We simmer it slowly to
develop deep, complex flavours and serve it piping hot over steamed rice — a
satisfying meal that will warm you from the inside out.
Our secret? A blend of spices brought straight from Japan, which gives our curry that
authentic taste and an irresistible aroma. It’s not just a dish; it’s a hug in a bowl. - Ramen
There’s nothing quite like a bowl of steaming hot Ramen to satisfy your soul. At
Izakaya Group, our Ramen is a labour of love, slow-cooked to draw out rich,
umami-packed flavours. Dive into our broth — clear yet profound, creamy yet not
overpowering — cradling perfectly chewy noodles, tender slices of meat, and a
medley of fresh toppings. Each spoonful is a journey to the bustling streets of Japan,
where Ramen is not just food but a way of life.
Whether you’re a fan of classic tonkotsu or prefer something lighter like miso, our
Ramen bowls are sure to delight you. Don’t miss out on this quintessential Japanese
comfort food! - Udon
Udon may just be the ultimate comfort noodle — thick, chewy, and wonderfully
slippery. At our Izakaya, we serve Udon in various forms: swimming in a savoury hot
broth, or stir-fried with crisp vegetables and savoury meats. No matter how you like
it, Udon offers a delightful texture and flavour that absorbs every bit of our delicious,
carefully prepared broths and sauces.
Our chefs make sure every bowl is hearty and comforting, aiming to fill your stomach
and warm your heart. It’s the perfect meal for any day, rain or shine! - Grilled Fish
Grilled fish is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. Our selection at Izakaya Group
features the freshest catch, grilled to perfection with just a touch of salt to enhance
its natural flavours. This method, known as “shioyaki,” allows the delicate texture and
sweetness of the fish to shine through, providing a healthy and flavorful dining
option.
Savour the smoky notes and crispy skin as you bite into one of our grilled fish dishes,
each served with a side of steamed rice and seasonal vegetables. It’s a beloved
staple in Japanese cuisine, and one taste will tell you why. - Japanese Cocktails and Beverages
At Izakaya Group, our dedication to an authentic Japanese dining experience extends
to our drinks menu. From traditional sake to innovative Japanese-inspired cocktails,
each beverage is chosen to complement the flavours of our dishes perfectly.
Immerse yourself in the full Izakaya experience with a cold glass of Sapporo beer, a
sip of smooth Japanese whiskey, or a refreshing highball.
For something uniquely delightful, try our signature cocktails crafted with Japanese
ingredients like yuzu, shiso, and umeshu (plum wine). These drinks not only taste
great but also capture the essence of Japan’s rich beverage culture. Whether you’re a
novice to Japanese drinks or a seasoned enthusiast, you’ll find something to excite
your palate and enhance your meal.
