Izakaya Chouchou Jiu 2

Glen Iris izakaya blending Japanese and French technique. omurice and sashimi shine.

A cosy, intimate roughly 20-seat izakaya with warm Japanese hospitality and a private room for special occasions; a couple of reviewers found it noisy once fully booked with large groups.

A Chef's Table experience, an entirely Japanese-run team led by a French-trained chef-owner, a curated sake, shochu and gin selection, and tableside dish explanations from staff.

An entirely Japanese-run team led by chef-owner Kenichi Okumura, who trained in classical French cuisine at five-star restaurants in Japan and folds that technique into a Japanese izakaya menu.

Widely seen as good value for the quality. 'not a cheap eat, but you definitely get what you pay for'. though one reviewer flagged a $34 avocado roll as poor value.
