Looking for the ultimate Wagyu dining experience in Malaysia? Asumo in Subang Jaya offers a premium Tokyo-style charcoal Wagyu yakiniku omakase, making it one of the most exciting new additions to the Japanese dining scene in Malaysia.
Authentic Japanese Wagyu Experience
At Asumo, the art of yakiniku is elevated to omakase form. Unlike typical yakiniku spots, Asumo flies in entire Wagyu cattle directly from Japan, offering diners an incredibly diverse selection of cuts, including rare and premium ones that are hard to find outside Japan. This whole-cattle approach ensures top-to-tail utilization and guarantees freshness, quality, and variety.
What Makes Asumo Special?
Charcoal Grilling with Binchotan
Asumo uses traditional Binchotan charcoal, known for its high, consistent heat and clean flavor profile. Each cut of Wagyu is seared perfectly, retaining its umami richness without overpowering the meat.
Omakase-Style Dining
The omakase menu takes diners on a curated journey across the textures and flavors of different Wagyu cuts. Each course is hand-selected by the chef and often grilled tableside for maximum flavor and drama.
🇯🇵 Tokyo-Inspired Ambience
The restaurant channels Tokyo’s minimalist elegance—think warm wood, counter-style seating, and quiet intimacy. It’s ideal for special occasions, date nights, or Wagyu connoisseurs seeking a deep dive into Japanese beef culture.
