Subang's latest Japanese restaurant tackles tonkatsu for lunch and yakiniku for dinner - the latter features plenty of protein possibilities, from lamb loin to beef brisket. Pork is respectably represented by choices like iberico cheeks that pack a firm bite and juicy chew (RM36). Grill the fresh meat yourself at the table in a clean, comfortable set-up.
If you prefer to sample the kitchen's cooking, Sumairu's a la carte selection is fun and capably executed enough to bring a smile to many customers' faces - highlights include smoky shishamo (RM16), a briny bowl of bright-hued ikura don (RM68), and deep-fried savoury pork belly scattered with sweetish popcorn, a brilliant bar snack (RM18). End with a duo of desserts - monaka-style matcha ice cream sandwiched in clam-shell wafers, plus chilled chawanmushi that's almost like saccharine custard (RM18).
