When it comes to the lifestyles of livestock, Kagoshima’s cattle certainly live it up. The city is known for cows said to be fattened with booze, occasionally massaged, and raised with the greatest affection. However these cows are reared, they’ve produced the finest, most flavourful beef in the world: Kagoshima wagyu. 

Of course, the pinnacle of beef only deserves to be enjoyed in the highest of spirits. Nikkei Rockwell takes Kagoshima’s top-grade wagyu to even greater heights through a Wagyu & Sake dinner only for one night and featuring two seatings (6:30pm and 8:30pm). On October 3, renowned guest chef Samata serves up six delicious courses paired with top-shelf sakes selected by Premium Wine Exchange, all for just PhP3,800+.

A refreshing Japanese dashi jelly and sparkling glass of Choya kicks the dinner off, prepping the palate for dishes that put the spotlight on the supremely marbled beef. From a straightforward Wagyu Carpaccio Salad to a sumptuous Wagyu Hatchomiso, Chef Samata manages to make the world’s most sought-after meat even more memorable. And while multiple courses of wagyu are a tough act to follow, a Tiramisu Caviar makes for a sweet sayonara to the evening.
