I was told that the Yakiniku grill which literally translates to “grilled meat” is a culinary experience even a few Japanese have not been through. For the lucky few, you can now enjoy this experience at the Yurakuen Japanese Restaurant in the Diamond Hotel as it now offers this gourmet cruise – a multi- palate experience. I was served with five appetizers before the meat cuts were brought out.

Sake and Gindara Tsuyani
Stewed salmon and codfish in sweet soy sauce

Horenzo
Spinach with sesame oil and Korean chili paste

Nikujyaga
Stewed ground beef, potatoes and carrots in light soy sauce

It is not particularly surprising that Diamond Hotel – the city’s premier dining oasis and portal to all things deliciously Japanese – has tapped the expertise of their culinary masters to whip up tantalizing Yakiniku fares with the Yurakuen Japanese Restaurant.
