Be it a plate of fresh sashimi or an array of sushis, a piping hot bowl of udon or a luscious donburi, Genzo has you covered with a kaleidoscope of selections that are bound to delight. 

Start off your meal at Genzo with an entrée of Century Egg Tofu (S$2.80), a unique take on traditional Japanese cold tofu topped with a generous drizzle of century egg sauce, crab meat and crunchy burst-in-your-mouth tobiko.

Otherwise, indulge in their Italian-inspired Signature Truffle Salmon Carpaccio (S$15.80). These exquisitely sliced raw fish with black and white truffle will leave you wanting more with its deep nutty fragrance and undeniable freshness. 

For your mains, why not continue your truffle journey with Genzo Truffle Foie Gras Wagyu (S$28.80). On your base (you can choose from Japanese Pearl Rice, Zaru Soba, Zaru Udon, Salad or Brown Rice (+S$1)), you’ll find a beautiful combination of wagyu beef and seared foie gras drenched in a mixture of teriyaki and white truffle oil. Now, this is what I call maximum indulgence in a bowl!
