Delicate, Grilled Beef, Set menu, Japanese

Kona, which serve Kappo cuisine (a small-plate format of Japanese far) is an hidden Japanese eatery. The restaurant layout is a curvy strip, with an open kitchen set on one side and spacious seating set on the other; a simple cool-toned palate of dark wooden doors and window frames. Kona’s kappo format covers a handful of sashimi, and a much wider selection of cooked food items. Grilled meat skewers are made-to-order. Wagyu tongue was thickly sliced and grilled until just cooked and tender. A sweet green onion mustard sauce was a surprise condiment complementing the tongue’s richness. Deep-fried Japanese corn is a surprise, as sweet golden kernels were held within pouches of seaweed before deep-frying. Signature dishes – Zuwai crab croquette and Wagyu beef bowl – Slices of wagyu were piled up on warm rice and topped with a Japanese egg yolk.
