Sakana Japanese Dining is known for serving authentic Japanese cuisine with a modern twist while maintaining a halal-friendly approach.
The restaurant specializes in fresh, high-quality seafood, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallops, and prawns, with popular dishes such as miso black cod and shrimp tempura. Unique offerings include mentaiko sashimi and seasonal fish sourced directly from Ishinomaki, a renowned Japanese fishing port.
Led by Chef Makoto Saito Sam, who trained in Japan and Italy, Sakana emphasizes authentic flavors while adapting recipes to suit diverse dietary needs. Ingredients such as pork, lard, and alcohol are excluded, and traditional mirin and rice vinegar are replaced with certified halal alternatives.
The dining space is elegantly minimalist, featuring large windows with views of the KLCC park.
