What’s the Best Low Carb Dish to Order at a Japanese Fusion Restaurant?

What low carb meals are best to order at a Japanese fusion restaurant?

Yes, Japanese fusion restaurants offer many dishes that naturally fit a low carbohydrate diet. Meals based on grilled proteins like wagyu beef, tiger prawns, or king crab, combined with fresh vegetables and tamari dressing, keep carbohydrate levels minimal. These dishes suit individuals managing blood sugar, following ketogenic guidelines, or simply reducing processed carbohydrates.

Titu Mayfair in London has a strong range of options. Its kitchen focuses on balance, flavour and freshness. Cooking techniques such as light grilling, steaming and pan searing are used instead of deep frying or coating ingredients in flour. Miso, sesame, chilli, lime and yuzu are used for seasoning rather than added sugar.

Top low carbohydrate mains to choose from

Grilled wagyu steak with truffle ponzu

A standout for low carbohydrate diets. The wagyu steak is sliced thin, seared and finished with a house made ponzu that includes truffle soy and citrus. It contains high quality fat, excellent flavour and no starch. This dish is protein rich and very satisfying.

Seabass with Thai dressing

The seabass is grilled and served with a Thai style dressing made from lime juice, coriander and fresh chilli. There is no coating or flour used. This dish supports omega 3 intake while remaining low in sugar and starch. For best results, pair with fresh vegetables like padron peppers.

Grilled tiger prawns and wasabi king crab leg

Both dishes are simple and high in protein. The prawns are grilled with tamari and served clean. The king crab is dressed with lemon and wasabi. These seafood plates are carbohydrate free and nutrient dense.

Best sides and additions to stay low carbohydrate

Steamed vegetables and fresh greens

Look for vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, padron peppers or seaweed salad. These are fibre rich, low in carbohydrates and support digestion. They make a good match for grilled fish or meat without raising carbohydrate intake.

Tamari dressings and miso based sauces

Titu prepares its own sauces using fermented ingredients like tamari, sesame, vinegar and fresh herbs. These options avoid refined sugars. House made miso dressings are also available and contain less sugar than commercial alternatives.

Replace rice with protein or salad

Instead of ordering rice, request an additional portion of protein or greens. Wagyu steak with avocado miso salad or grilled prawns with seaweed salad are both satisfying and nutritionally balanced. They offer a strong nutrient profile and keep carbohydrate intake low.
