A beefed up menu

Ootoku Changan opened on Jan 12 in the central business district area of Beijing, bringing yakiniku kaiseki ryori-the traditional Japanese multicourse meal-to the capital. Its five private dining rooms have wood-tiled ceilings, which is a nod to the ancient capital of Changan, which is now known as Xi'an. The set menu includes six different roasted cuts of black wagyu beef, ranging from tongue to flank, which is rare in kaiseki ryori. The rice, cooked in a special pot, is a sweet highlight after the wagyu.
