Excited diner with wagyu steak at SAYANG, white brick wall interior visible

A Japanese kitchen in Cowes

SAYANG was built on the idea that good food does not need a big city behind it.

The brothtakes time

Kiichi is a Japanese chef who came to Cowes and decided to cook the way he always had. Not adapted, not simplified. The ramen at SAYANG uses a chicken broth that takes hours to build. The karaage is prepped to order. Every bowl goes out the way it would in Japan.

The name SAYANG is not Japanese. There is a story behind it. Ask Kiichi when you visit.

What you will find at SAYANG is a small restaurant run by people who care about what they put in front of you. The chef comes out to say hello at the end of the meal. That is not a performance. It is just how they do things.

In their own words
