Sukiyaki represents a comforting style of Japanese dining featuring hot pot with thinly sliced meat and seasonal vegetables gently simmered in a rich, sweet-savoury soy broth, allowing every ingredient to absorb its warmth and depth. Sushi, on the other hand, offers a refined expression of Japanese craftsmanship, balancing seasoned rice with fresh seafood, thoughtful textures, and precise technique. For one night only, Aburi Sushi welcomes diners to experience the fusion of these two culinary traditions. See the full menu below.
