How we read reviews →CBD gem serving Osaka-style Hako pressed sushi with a refined omakase dinner option.
Minimalist and serene. clean lines, warm lighting and a spacious open layout that evokes a quiet Japanese dining room. Polished yet unfussy, it works equally as a quick solo CBD lunch or an intimate dinner occasion.
Serves Hako sushi. Osaka-style wood-pressed rectangular sushi uncommon in Melbourne. Omakase dinner option ($59-$88pp multi-course set). Real wasabi. BYO with sensible corkage. Sibling restaurant to a hatted 12-seat omakase venue in Kew. EatClub discounts available. QR code ordering at tables.
Draws on Osaka Hakozushi tradition. 19th-century pressed rectangular sushi made using a wooden mould (oshibako). Dishes are described as authentic Japanese with a modern twist, using fresh imported-quality ingredients and real wasabi.
Lunch is considered affordable fine dining given the quality. Dinner at $59-$88pp positions it as a mid-tier special occasion spend. Some reviewers note small portion sizes relative to price; the chef's feasting set is considered better value à la carte by a minority.
