About Our Japanese Menus

To be the best sushi restaurant in Sydney, our premium produce and precise Japanese craftsmanship underscore menus that are designed to be shared and impossible not to enjoy. Super-fresh, sustainable seafood, including MSC-certified whole Bluefin tuna, Hiramasa kingfish and Glacier 51 Toothfish, is sliced and diced by meticulous sushi masters into made-to-order delicate sushi and sashimi, intricate starters and main courses, and exquisite desserts. Centuries-old, Japanese robata grilling is another central element of each menu, delivering sensational, charcoal-smoky flavours to everything from responsibly sourced meats and seafood, to the humble, locally sourced vegetable.

 

Menu options include à la carte and banquet menus, as well as the revered style of Omakase dining, where guests leave themselves entirely in the expert hands of the Chef.
