AI Summary

Atmospheric Little Collins St izakaya transporting you to Japan with skewers, sashimi and sake.

Dimly lit, buzzy CBD izakaya with an authentically Japanese interior that reviewers consistently describe as transporting; close-set tables and upstairs long communal benches create a lively, convivial energy well-suited to share-plate dining.

Complimentary Dassai sake tasting available Monday through Wednesday evenings (seasonal, runs until end of August); mobile QR code ordering system; upstairs long communal tables for groups; theatrical tableside dish presentations for select items.

Consistently praised for capturing authentic Japanese izakaya atmosphere. traditional greetings on arrival, dim lighting, buzzy communal energy, and a menu faithful to the izakaya format; multiple reviewers with direct Japan experience confirm the authenticity.

Premium pricing for share plates that many reviewers find generous in quality but small in portion size; $60-70+ per head without drinks is common; a 15% surcharge applies. check in advance; the food quality is generally there but value perception is a recurring friction point.
