My reviews will show I am quite a picky eater, and even pickier with Japanese. This izakaya is reminiscent of the little inns and places I've been to in country japan - the tofu is topped with real snow crab meat, the sushi is adequately not too cool and not too warm with the fish fresh, and the sake flight is buffet style at $15 for three. To top it up, the service is phenomenally personal, without being intrusive. It just feels like your resident country japan food offering.
Needless to say, this is my new eastside favourite.
Service was excellent. The prawn sushi and brown rice bru le was out of this world. We also has the tuna salad, and the tuna was cooked to perfection.
After a horrible dining experience at a ridiculously highly rated izakaya nearby, we finally found our favorite Japanese restaurant in Melbourne! You know it's good when you notice all the staff and most diners are communicating in Japanese. Huge selection of sake, well prepared food, this is what authentic Japanese izakaya all about.
