After their successful juicy melt-in-your-mouth Japanese wagyu katsu sandos in Tanjong Pagar, Gyu San now unveils a new concept Gyu San Charcoal Bar.
It is the first of its kind in Forum at Orchard Road for a fresh way to enjoy wagyu.
Wagyu hamburgs are carefully made from the ball to the patty in front of you and cooked within a minute over binchotan charcoal at an open concept island charcoal bar.
The new hamburgs, cooked to juicy perfection over a binchotan grill, paired well with rice and an optional onsen egg.
Open Concept Central Grill Station
First to be served from the grill station is the A5 Wagyu Japanese Hamburg Set ($23.80++).
Two 90gram wagyu patties prepared from freshly grounded wagyu daily. The hamburgs are grilled until the perfect char before being served on a personal mini grill to keep the patties warm.
Served alongside the patties will be a hearty miso soup, Gyu San salad and the most prestigious South Uonuma Koshihikari rice from Niigata, Japan. Gyu San Charcoal Bar works with its supplier to ensure that the rice is polished toorder, ensuring its freshness, fragrance and quality
Additional orders of A5 Wagyu Japanese Hamburg are available for $8.5 per order.
How To Savour The Patties
Savour the patties in two parts. The first, completely on its own to truly enjoy the natural flavours of the beef.
The second, they can be tasted with eight different accompaniments to your personal liking, from traditional yuzu kosho to local Singaporean sambal.
