How we read reviews →Two-storey Brunswick East izakaya serving creative Japanese share plates and sashimi.
Buzzy two-storey former bank building with the original vault as a wine cellar, antique bankers' lamps and communal share tables. upscale-casual energy that turns loud on weekends.
Housed in a heritage 19th-century bank building with the vault used as a wine cellar and antique bank lamps; upstairs tatami private dining room (Fri/Sat only, seats 12) and an imported Japanese whisky and sake list.
Most reviewers, including one who had recently eaten in Japan, call the cooking authentically Japanese, though a minority felt it strayed from traditional izakaya style.
Set banquet menus ($69-98pp) read as generous value to most reviewers, though a handful found the $99-115 sashimi platters overpriced for the portion.
