Special Item- Oyster (RM13/pc)
Comment: Imported from Japan, fresh and juicy.

Smoked Ikura Tartlette w Fromage Blanc & Yuzu (RM39/pc)
Comment: Unique presentation, smells really good, burning wood aroma. Taste pretty good, thick creamy texture in the middle with fresh ikura that pops in your mouth.

Torched Shimesaba w Nanami Yakumi, Umami Shoyu & Lemon (RM52)

Torched Shimesaba w Nanami Yakumi, Umami Shoyu & Lemon (RM52)
Comment: Firm and delicate texture with appetizing flavors, more on the sour end

Truffle Angel Hair Pasta w Shimeji Mushrooms & Free Range Egg Yolk (RM48)
Comment: Generous portion good for sharing. Thick and creamy but the truffle taste isn't strong enough, its texture and taste are similar to carbonara pasta. However, this dish is filling.

Truffle Tatsuta Chicken w Black Pepper & Truffle Vin, Mizuna & Radish (RM45)
Comment: One of my favorite fish, crispy skin with tender chicken meat. A balanced combination of sweet and savoury flavors, super appetizing, especially with the black pepper that enhanced its flavor.

Harajuku Burnt Cheesecake w Vanilla Cream (RM22)
Comment: Didn't quite enjoy the dessert. The cheesecake isn't rich enough.

    Japas is a romantic dining place for couple dates, especially with the nice KL skyview. Do check out this place if you are looking for something different.
