Wagyu X Now Available Chargrilled and Smoked in Our New Menu, with Complimentary Wagyu Fat Fries
Singapore, 11 March 2024 – After introducing one of the rarest forms of Wagyu beef to Singapore, Wagyu X ups the ante with a new menu offering a new way of experiencing its prized crossbreed beef. You’ve tasted it seared, now open the doors to a new menu that has the wagyu chargrilled over binchotan charcoal and then served smoked in Sakura wood fumes boasting fruity cherry notes.
The melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Wagyu crossbred with the juicy essence of Angus in each bite continues to be offered in two mouthwatering iterations – sirloin or tenderloin. Each cut is precisely sliced to one inch in thickness, cooked to perfection, and delicately seasoned with a light sprinkle of salt, allowing its unique taste and texture to shine.
This new method was birthed following an R&D episode by Chef Masahiro Takada, who was seeking a new way to experience this prized beef. Intrigued by smoke, he decided to use only the best charcoal and most fragrant smoking wood to perfect the flavour he has in mind.
Chef Masahiro says, “Beef of this quality and calibre are usually grilled in thin pieces, seldom as a whole steak. I was curious as to how it tastes as a steak and am personally very surprised by how the fats is rendered into a crispy exterior. It opened my eyes to a new way of enjoying this wagyu crossbreed.”
A New Way to X-perience Wagyu
Wagyu Carpaccio
Begin your journey to a new Wagyu experience with new starters like Chilled Truffle Somen, truffle pasta delicately tossed in truffle kombu sauce, mirin, soyu and a dash of sake, served with ikura and choice of scallop ($26) or uni ($34). Next up, Wagyu Carpaccio ($42), paper-thin slices of Wagyu X tenderloin, is drizzled with a touch of truffle oil and topped with arugula leaves and parmesan chips for the perfect marriage of umami.
Binchotan Flame Grilled Wagyu Sirloin
Indulge in Wagyu X’s Binchotan Flame Grilled Wagyu available in Sirloin (500g $180, 1kg $335) and Tenderloin (250g $135, 500g $245) options, prepared to the careful steps as described of binchotan charcoal chargrill and Sakura wood smoking. The result is a symphony of flavors, borrowing from the intense heat of the charcoal, with rendering fats charring the surface and imparting a distinct smoky flavor. This process results in the steak having a crispy charred exterior while maintaining a juicy interior.
Wagyu Fried Rice
Extend on the indulgence with new sides such as Japanese Sweet Potato Croquettes ($16), made in-house with sweet potatoes imported from Japan for a starchier, more indulgent finish. Eat your greens with Horenso Gomaae (Spinach Salad) ($16) simply blanched but doused with a house-made roasted sesame seasoning for a richly umami salad.
Satiate any remaining cravings with the ever popular Wagyu Fried Rice ($28) comprising rice fried with Wagyu fat for a butteriness like none other, cut through with ooba leaf foam for a refreshing herbaceousness. Conceived as a fuss-free staff meal fried with the extra cuts of Wagyu, its deliciousness soon brought it onto the 3-course $38++ lunch set menu before carving its own path to the main menu thanks to its goodness that needs to be shared with all.
Sweet endings are completed with an Apple Tart ($18) of Granny Smith slices served with housemade berry sauce.

About Wagyu X

Masa and his co-founders named it Wagyu X, which also stands for Wagyu Cross (crossbreed). Wagyu X serves its steaks simply grilled with no-frills to let its natural flavours shine in a restaurant space that is approachable, casual and fuss-free.
