AI Summary

Melbourne CBD sushi counter where chefs sear nigiri tableside, from $38 lunch sets to $220pp dinner omakase.

Intimate, minimalist sushi-counter dining with a sense of theatre. diners sit at the bar to watch chefs sear and plate each course, though tables can feel close together when the room fills.

Front-row sushi counter where chefs prepare and explain each course, private dining rooms for special occasions, and an extensive sake list with staff-guided pairings.

Praised repeatedly by Japanese-speaking reviewers as close to dining in Japan, with traditional techniques and hand-selected seasonal fish driving the omakase progression.

Reviewers split on value. many call the $88-98pp lunch omakase outstanding for the quality of fish, while others found the $180-220pp dinner tasting steep for the portion size and pacing.
