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.

My sisters and I had an amazing experience! The chef provided us an experience that is worth remembering. He was very intricate and explained every detail in the dish. The 8-course meal was an explosion of flavours. The service was great! Everyone was attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!!!

The restaurant was an extremely bouje experience; the food and the service were fabulous. The experience is expensive but very much worth the cost for a special occasion The service staff are accommodating and knowledgeable regarding the sake and wine list, talking us through the options and how they would best suit the dish being served. Overall a fantastic restaurant
