How we read reviews →Chapel Street's cosy izakaya where the 10-hour tonkotsu ramen and donburi sets steal the show.
A cosy, minimalist izakaya on Chapel Street lit by paper lanterns and quirky soy-sauce-bottle lamp covers. quiet enough to talk, with a warm, homey feel.
Tonkotsu broth simmered for 10 hours, complimentary miso soup with donburi sets, an illustrated Japan-style menu, and yuzu-forward cocktails like the Yuzu Sake Tonic.
Reviewers repeatedly describe the food and service as authentically Japanese, with several homesick expats naming it their closest taste of Japan in Melbourne.
Widely called great value. the signature tonkotsu ramen is around $18, with reviewers repeatedly noting portion size and quality outstrip the price.
