About Wafuken

Our Menu

We recommend Japanese brown rice instead of Japanese white rice simply because brown rice has more flavour, fibre and is the all-round healthier choice. Our Donburi options are served with an onsen egg, pickles and Furikake Japanese brown/white rice to provide a tasty experience for all.

What kind of oil do we use?

Are there added Sodium or Sugar in our food/sauces?

• Most of our proteins does go through a salt treatment during preparation, excluding Prawns and Oyster Blade Steak.  We also do season our proteins lightly by default before serving, but feel free to opt for no seasoning when ordering at the cashier if you do not want any.

As for sugar, items containing small added amounts of brown sugar are in all of our sauces.

Is it safe to eat sous vide cooked Salmon/Saba?

• Yes, if it is from a good source and properly handled. Cooking fish sous vide does not pose any greater food safety risk than eating fish cooked traditionally. As factors like time and temperature are being controlled and monitored at which our Salmon and Saba are cooked, it promotes food safety. Even the sous vide cooking times and temperatures suggested by the FDA’s guidelines will not pasteurise the fish as well. 

As with all cooking methods, for fish to be fully pasteurised, it has to be overcooked, resulting it to be tough and dry. Often restaurant menus disclaim “Consuming raw or unpasteurised seafood may increase your risk of food-borne illness” as most people prefer their fish to be lightly cooked. However, with proper handling, food-borne illness should not be a concern.

If unpasteurised seafood is still a concern, we suggest that you opt for it to be “well done” or choose another protein, asking for it to be "well done” as well.

Do we use garlic/onion in our food?

• Yes we do. Items containing garlic includes All Proteins, Steamed Cabbage and Garlic Soy.

Items containing onion includes Chicken Breast, Roasted Vegetables, Bean Paste Mushroom and Macaroni Salad.
