The post Black Cow is a Japanese wagyu restaurant with elegantly-plated truffle wagyu, premium wagyu dons, and more appeared first on Confirm Good.

Only opened in August, this humble eatery at Vision Exchange is actually run by an experienced chef who’s worked in esteemed restaurants including DB Bistro and Oyster Bar and The Wine & Gourmet Friends.

While this is his first foray into Japanese cuisine, you can expect plenty of exquisite French fusion influences in the sauces and in the use of Foie Gras. But the main attraction here is undoubtedly still their Classic Gyu Don (S$9.90/S$15.90) that comes with slices of tender Australian Wagyu beef for under S$10.

It’s all drenched in a special sauce that is home-made every day to give you that rich umami to complement the beef. While the regular portion provides 100g of Wagyu richness, those with bigger appetites might want to go for 200g for S$15.90.

If you prefer an additional kiss of fragrance, The Gyu Co also bathes the medley of beefy goodness with a punchy truffle perfume in their Truffle Gyudon (S$13.90) for just a bit more.

Beef is not the only thing that The Gyu Co does, however. You can also get other affordable rice bowls including Oyakodon (S$7.90), Chicken Nanban Don (S$8.90), and Katsudon (S$10.90).

For something a bit more unique compared to your usual Japanese rice bowls, there’s a Mentaiko Rainbow Trout Don (S$12.90/15.90) that puts the popular creamy sauce on a different fish than your usual salmon, and a Buta Kakuni Don (S$9.90) that sports some Chinese-inspired elements.

Chef’s French expertise can also be tapped upon here if you wish to indulge in the decadent French classic of Foie Gras. There’s the regular Foie Gras Gyudon (S$14.90/S$20.90) and a spruced-up Truffle Foie Gras Gyudon (S$17.90/S$23.90) — the latter is perfect for those who want a taste of luxury without spending obscene amounts of money.

They also have a value-for-money Lunch Set Deal where you get a side of Miso Soup, Chawanmushi and a drink for a mere S$3.50 add-on, meaning you can have a satisfying Japanese meal here without spending more than S$20 — a pretty good bargain.

They are also available for islandwide delivery, order here.

When we look for Japanese food we always look for one that’s authentic — there’s a reason all the chains from Japan have such long queues.

And for a Japanese diner in Singapore, Sandaime Bunji is as authentic as they come.

Stepping into the shop space, you’d feel like you stepped right into a hole-in-the-wall in Japan, being greeted by the sight of wooden counters and floor cushion seats.

Most importantly, the many Japanese patrons — especially at night — will make you feel like you’re back in the bustle of Tokyo.

But really, the main reason you should go down is for Sandaime Bunji’s signature Wagyu Mountain Roast Beef Set (S$19.90).

A towering mountain made up of a hefty 200g of wagyu roast beef in all its meaty glory. Succulent slices of meat that are cooked to a tender softness, with a nice bit of chew.

They drizzle a sweet and savoury sauce over the mound of meat and provide a dab of wasabi at the side cut through the heaviness.

Besides that, Sandaime Bunji’s lunch set also has an ensemble of sides which include miso soup, salad, and silky tofu. Honestly, this might even be able to feed two if you’re small eaters.

Overall, S$19.90 for a huge mountain of wagyu is a steal even without the set — it’s cheaper than most wagyu steaks. But if you’re headed down for dinner, it’s still very reasonably priced at S$24.90.

However, for many of us, a Japanese meal isn’t complete without some sashimi or sushi. Sandaime Bunji has you covered also with their S$16.90 Sashimi Promo.

You just have to order an alcoholic drink and you can get a sashimi platter filled with thick, fresh cuts of sashimi. It even comes with some of the good stuff like rich and fatty tuna chunks.

Otherwise, if you’re looking for something simple but higher quality than the standard chains, their lunch menu is for you.

They offer a variety of lunch deals such as the Beef Tendon Curry at just S$9.90 a la carte, a very affordable price considering where it’s situated at.

So if you’re looking for an authentic Japanese place but don’t want to break the bank, then Sandaime Bunji is a great option. Especially if you’re craving for an entire mountain of succulent wagyu beef,
