Wagyu Souei Courses
Wagyu Souei offers three types of courses: “Souei Omakase Course (12 dishes/¥33,000),” “Eirin Course (9 dishes/¥19,800),” and “Chef’s Omakase Course (12 dishes/¥55,000).” Each course allows you to enjoy seasonal flavors from various regions of Japan. They source carefully selected black Wagyu beef from across Japan, offering not only fillet and sirloin but also rare cuts such as Chateaubriand, which are only available from two portions per cow. To maximize the quality of the Wagyu beef, our menu includes items like beef sushi and beef sashimi, as well as a Sukiyaki dish infused with French essence, a signature of Japanese cuisine. The rice, cooked in a clay pot for the finishing touch, uses organic Koshihikari rice from Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture. For dessert, we serve seasonal fruits alongside desserts crafted by our chef, ensuring a blissful moment to savor each course. Our drink selection includes a variety of wines, Japanese whiskies, and carefully selected Japanese sake.
