[Review] Sushi Tei’s The Iki Dining Menu: A Seasonal Showcase of White Trevally and Iwate Wagyu

Japanese restaurant chain, Sushi Tei has unveiled its latest limited-time menu, The Iki Dining, featuring two seasonal choice ingredients from Japan: White Trevally from Ehime and Iwate Wagyu from the Tohoku region.

Known for its silky texture and rich, buttery profile, the prized White Trevally (Shima Aji) is sustainably farmed in the pristine waters of Ehime prefecture, Japan’s major producer.

Iwate prefecture is a top wagyu-producing region, famed for its snow-white marbling (shimofuri) and melt-in-the-mouth tenderness. High in oleic acid, Iwate Wagyu delivers rich umami with a light finish, making it both indulgent and refined.

Available until 5 October 2025 at all Sushi Tei outlets, this seasonal menu shines the spotlight on these two premium ingredients, carefully prepared with finess from their culinary team.

We were invited for a dinner tasting and below were the items we sampled.

Highlights from The Iki Dining Menu

Shima Aji Gunkan (S.80 each)

The White Trevally (Shima Aji), sustainably farmed in Ehime, is showcased in two ways:

• Fresh Sashimi: silky, buttery slices that melt in the mouth.

• Marinated Cubes: a richer, umami-packed version with a delicate marinade.

Mango Eclipse Roll (S.80)

A tropical take on sushi like the California Maki, this roll combines eel, mango, and cucumber, topped with baby octopus and jellyfish for a refreshing crunch.

Iwate Wagyu Foie Gras Don (S.80)

A luxurious bowl featuring A4 Iwate Wagyu striploin, pan-fried to perfection, paired with decadent Foie Gras and Japanese pepper atop steamed rice. The wagyu’s snow-white marbling delivers a melt-in-the-mouth experience, made even more delectable with the oily duck liver.

Tomato Yasai Nabe (S.80)

A sweet, flavourful vegetable hotpot in a tangy tomato broth, filled with mushrooms and greens. Good to savour on its own or paired with a bowl of steaming Japanese rice.

Tako Karaage (S.80)

Crispy deep-fried octopus with a tender interior, ideal for sharing.

Dorayaki Ice Cream Stack (S.80)

A sweet finale with brown sugar red bean pancakes sandwiching creamy ice cream.
