                      Absolutely wonderful omakase. Top notch fish, truly excellent rice in the nigiri, in an intimate and beautiful restaurant/sushi counter. The sushi chef is incredibly talented and simply delightful to interact with (I was a solo diner).

                      We booked this place fairly last minute, however I’m glad we did. Took my partner here for her birthday and the food and service was exceptional - Chef Jun and our server, Luciano were amazing. Serving sizes (especially for the a5 wagyu) were generous and the food itself was great - flavourful, creative (especially with the dessert) and great texture. I would definitely love to visit the next time we’re back in Melbourne, thank you for treating my partner and I so well, especially for her birthday.

                      Pretty unusual (for me anyway) dining experience, seeing incredible food prepared right in front of you by a sushi master. Chef Jun made incredible food full of flavor in a very understated way, with beautiful presentation. Chef Takaro was a great sous chef and it was great seeing him work; the torched ika was a highlight I wasn’t expecting. I highly recommend the sake pairings; sommelier Luciano was very well informed and insightful on the origins of the sakes and why they were chosen for certain courses. Highly recommended.

The 8-course meal was an explosion of flavours. The service was great! Everyone was attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!!!
