How we read reviews →A Fitzroy izakaya blending Japanese sashimi and sake with playful Chinese-inspired fusion plates.
Elegant yet relaxed izakaya-meets-fine-dining setting on Brunswick Street, with warm lighting and personalised touches suited to celebrations, described by reviewers as lively but still conversational.
Personalised chopstick selection with individual meanings, choice of sake glass from nine unique designs, tableside whisky-flambe short rib theatrics, Polaroid birthday keepsakes, and a $2 oyster happy hour.
A deliberate fusion identity blending Japanese technique. sashimi, sake, omakase. with Chinese-style char siu and other Asian influences, rather than a single-heritage cuisine.
Opinions split. many call the omakase and banquet set genuinely good value for the quality and personalised service, while a vocal minority found small-plate pricing steep, citing one bill of $150 for two cocktails and three entrees.
