a limited-time menu at Sutandonya, Publika

In a delightful twist of culinary fusion, Sutadonya Malaysia has teamed up with fermentation-focused brand Hakko Labo to introduce a limited-time menu that spotlights the magical touch of Japanese koji. Nestled within Publika Shopping Gallery, Sutadonya is the Malaysian outpost of a beloved Tokyo chain famous for its stamina bowls—hearty, garlicky, and rich in umami, designed to recharge and refuel.

🏯 About Sutadonya Malaysia
Sutadonya Malaysia is the local branch of the iconic Tokyo-based Sutadonya chain, renowned for its stamina donburi—a rice bowl loaded with marinated pork, garlicky gravy, and the signature raw egg yolk on top. This chain has gained a cult following in Japan, especially among young professionals and students craving an affordable yet flavorful energy boost. Previously at Lot 10, they have moved to Publika.

koji collaboration menu

A Taste of Tokyo Meets Fermented Wellness

This exciting collab brings together the savory legacy of Sutadonya’s Tokyo roots and Hakko Labo’s dedication to traditional Japanese fermentation. The result? A mouthwatering menu that marries bold flavors with health-conscious techniques.

Pork Steak with Garlic Koji (150g RM35)

The star of the collab menu is a succulent pork steak marinated in Hakko Labo’s signature garlic koji—a naturally fermented mixture that breaks down proteins and enhances umami. The pork is slow-cooked, then lightly grilled to a golden finish. It’s tender enough to slice with chopsticks and served with a drizzle of garlic koji sauce that adds both depth and subtle sweetness. It’s a dish that showcases how fermentation can elevate even the most humble cuts of meat.

Signature Stamina Rice Bowl (from RM22)

Sutadonya’s original bestseller is still a must-try. Hearty slices of pork, soaked in a garlicky soy-based sauce, piled over fluffy Japanese rice, and crowned with a raw egg yolk. It's comfort food with a capital C, satisfying on every level—from texture to taste.

Stamina Steak Set Meal (RM39)

This one's for the meat lovers: thick-cut beef steak cooked to medium doneness, accompanied by crisp vegetables, rice, and a steaming bowl of miso soup. The steak is juicy with a satisfying char, while the set meal format ensures you leave feeling full and content.

Japanese Rice Yogurt & Sorbet (from RM16)

To cleanse the palate and end on a refreshing note, the Japanese Rice Yogurt and Sorbet trio offers a guilt-free treat. Made with fermented rice and entirely free from added sugar or gluten, these icy desserts are light yet creamy, tangy with a hint of natural sweetness. We tried all three flavors—Original, Matcha, and Hojicha. Each spoonful is packed with probiotics, making it the perfect post-meal indulgence that your gut will thank you for.

Hakko Labo’s products are created using imported Japanese rice koji and feature no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Beyond retail offerings, they also host hands-on miso-making workshops in Kuala Lumpur—an immersive experience for anyone curious about Japan’s age-old fermentation craft.

Whether you're a fan of fermented superfoods or a die-hard donburi enthusiast, the Hakko Labo x Sutadonya menu is a not-to-be-missed culinary collaboration. It’s bold, satisfying, and proof that tradition and innovation can make a delicious team.
