Murasaki Tanuki Japanese Takeaway & Dine In

Wantirna South's beloved neighbourhood Japanese. fresh sashimi cut by a 45-year veteran, bento boxes that feel like a Ghibli film lunch.

Compact, cosy and homey. described repeatedly as feeling like a family-run eatery on the streets of suburban Japan. Tanuki décor (since updated), warm lighting and modest wall art. Friendly rather than formal; a neighbourhood staple where regulars are recognised.

Original sushi chef Hiro-san with 45 years of experience cutting sushi, now back working weekends. DIY sushi boat option. Free miso soup included with main dishes. QR code ordering. Takeaway and dine-in both supported. No weekend surcharge noted by reviewers.

Strong authentic Japanese identity. the founding chef Hiro-san trained for 45 years in traditional sushi and Japanese home cooking. Multiple reviewers who have visited Japan remark on the genuine similarity to suburban Japanese eateries. Ownership transitions have tested but not permanently displaced this authenticity, with the current setup restoring original recipes.

Exceptional value. a full family dinner for six reported around $150. No weekend surcharge is a noted highlight. Sashimi quality relative to price is repeatedly flagged as the venue's strongest offer.
