<h3 style="line-height: 2;">Strawfire celebrates the rich heritage of Warayaki, a traditional Japanese cooking technique originating from the Kochi prefecture, where food is prepared over straw-fired flames. </h3>
&nbsp;
This method infuses each dish with distinct smokiness and deep flavour, creating a sensory experience that is both unique and memorable. Under the guidance of Ross Shonhan, Strawfire&rsquo;s menu features a curated selection of dishes that highlight the freshest ingredients, all cooked over the open flame.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The newly opened restaurant shines light on Japanese craftsmanship with five distinct spaces, including the Toyama private dining room, showcasing a 7.3-meter Shimenawa rope symbolising sanctity and walls adorned with hand-painted silk inspired by Japanese art.
<h3 style="line-height: 2;"> Strawfire offers a diverse menu designed to cater to all palates. Guests can choose from the &agrave; la carte selection, a signature tasting menu or the chef's omakase menu all complimented by live entertainment with a DJ playing Jazzy House and NU Disco daily.&nbsp; </h3>
