A lavish wagyu and premium sake omakase experience, exquisitely crafted and presented in true Japanese grandeur.

November 2025 saw Yakiniku Great staging an extraordinary culinary showcase with its exclusive Kiwami Omakase Dining Experience, presented in partnership with Dajin Beverages, Malaysia&rsquo;s official importer of Dassai premium sake. Conceived as a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship at its highest level, the evening brought together premium top quality wagyu artistry and the rarefied world of one of Japan&rsquo;s most revered sake producers. The event was impeccably hosted by KY Yew, Group General Manager of Yakiniku Great, alongside Benny Lee, Dassai Asia&rsquo;s Official Trainer, supported by the dedicated team from Dajin Beverages. Adding distinguished gravitas to the occasion was the attendance of His Excellency Noriyuki Shikata, Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia, whose presence underscored the cultural significance of the night.

At the heart of the experience was an omakase menu masterfully curated by Chef Okuyama Kazu. Guests were treated to an exquisite procession of A5 Kuroge Wagyu, chilled, never frozen, and imported directly from Japan. Each cut, boasting a minimum beef marbling score of 10, represented the pinnacle of wagyu excellence. The Yakiniku Great culinary team demonstrated remarkable precision, grilling each serving to its ideal doneness, revealing the meat&rsquo;s natural sweetness, sublime tenderness and aromatic richness. The wagyu, fully halal-certified, offered an elevated expression of Japanese culinary philosophy - purity, respect and mastery.

The gastronomic journey was elevated further through a thoughtful and luxurious pairing of Dassai premium sake. Guests began with the effervescence of Dassai Sparkling, setting a celebratory tone before exploring a refined Dassai Flight featuring Dassai 23, 39 and 45, each crafted to embody harmony, depth and polished elegance. A highlight of the evening was the exclusive Malaysian debut of Dassai Blue (New York), presented to guests for the first time. The crescendo arrived with a pour of the legendary Dassai Beyond, a sake so meticulously polished and expertly crafted that it is regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary brewing.
To extend this exceptional experience, Yakiniku Great and Dajin Beverages announced a special promotion running until 31 December 2025. Priced at RM1,380 for two guests (RM690 per person), the package includes the full Kiwami Omakase Dining Experience, a coveted pour of Dassai Beyond, access to Dassai Blue, and a complete Dassai Sake Flight.
Available at Yakiniku Great&rsquo;s Damansara Heights and WOLO Bukit Bintang locations, the Kiwami Omakase Dining Experience stands as a triumphant celebration of grand and unforgettable Japanese gastronomy.
