The likes of pork belly, tsukune, miso eggplant and more are hitting the binchotan at Yamagen, the recently revamped in-house eatery at QT Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise. Adam Lane, late of Kiyomi, has put together a modern izakaya-style menu that includes revamped classics such as teriyaki chicken with warrigal greens, and crisp pork belly with watermelon, radish and nashi pear.
