Tsuko Japan

Family-run Japanese in Korumburra: katsu don, ramen and sushi with warm hospitality.

Light, airy and cosy in a converted old department store shared with a café and homewares area, with wooden tables, soft lighting and a relaxed, family-friendly feel. Service is attentive and motherly rather than formal.

Japanese-owned and family-run; set-meal teishoku format; Japanese sodas, matcha mochi and a small bakery menu; shares The Coterie building with a café and a ceramics and crafts area; staff happily explain dishes and occasionally send out a complimentary sushi gesture.

Run by a Japanese hostess with a warm, omotenashi-style welcome, and Japanese-speaking diners say flavours match home. A few reviewers felt the rice and ramen were less authentic and the seasoning mild for a local palate.

Repeatedly described as affordable for generous, well-presented set meals and bowls; the food quality is seen as exceeding the price.
