Treat yourself with a bowl of flavorsome Japanese ramen at Menya Musashi and you will be thankful to yourself – earthy broth packed with flavors, tender Japanese cha-shu and pleasurably springy ramen noodle makes such a heavenly combination! You may try out their amazing tsukemen as well, which is dipping ramen with cold noodle and hot broth being served separately. 


Senya is a place where you get to enjoy yummy Japanese rice dishes with relatively affordable pricings. One of the most recommended must try dishes here would be their signature Hokkaido Pork Don – tender pork meats with fats and lean parts distributed evenly, coated with lip-smacking BBQ sauce and grilled to slightly charred finish – every bite has a burst of flavors, so good!
 

Here’s another delicious tonkatsu place that you can find in ISETAN 1 Utama – Tonkatsu by Ma Maison serves fried pork cutlet sets that come with refillable rice, cabbage and miso soup with pork – with a few variations of mains to choose from, including the highly recommended Rosu (pork loin) and Hire (pork fillet), plus other choices like deep fried oyster, crab croquette, jumbo prawn, chicken, etc. Savor the crispy and juicy tonkatsu with ground sesame seed condiment for the best enjoyment!


If you haven’t already heard of it, the popular Japanese pastry named Châteraisé with 460 outlets opened in Japan is now in Malaysia! You can find their exquisite desserts in ISETAN KLCC and 1 Utama, with plentiful choices ranging from cakes to cream puffs, tarts and confectionery – all freshly made and air-flown from Japan, so you can definitely expect some good quality. We highly recommend you to try out their best-selling Legendary Fresh Cream Cake that truly lives up to its name – so fluffy, smooth, airy and creamy, simply legendary!
