The box meal menu at Wakai highlights the distinct flavour of Japanese cuisine - umami. "If someone sitting in an office or at home, is hankering for a complete meal, you don't have to look separately for an appetiser, then a soup or a main. This one-person meal has it all," says Chef Parvez Khan. There's also the omakase menu: An elaborate seven-course meal with tasting portions of the chef's best creations.
