Returned for a second time and left feeling extremely satisfied. If you love Japanese seafood it is just wonderful- so refined. Paired with matching sake and the additional extra sea urgent are choices I would highly recommend. Thx again

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.
