From Koueigiku in Saga Prefecture.

This sake is made from Hokkaido Kita Shizuku rice using the brewery's version of a kimoto starter to encourage natural lactic acid bacteria.

Held in low temp refrigerated storage after bottling, to develop a deeper, well rounded palate and acidity.

Notes of grilled peach. osmanthus, chestnuts, persimmon and hints of coffee. Complex and delicious!

The measure of a dish is tied to the ingredients you use.

Our Spicy Scampi Miso Soup sources incredible scampi from WA which we also use for our nigiri.

In a world where you're constantly forced to make decisions - omakase lets the chef take the reins.

Directly translated, omakase means "I'll leave it up to you", and lucky for you, you're in good hands.

Executive Chef Nobuyuki Ura sources the very best ingredients of the season and then transforms them into a kaiseki-style menu that's steeped in tradition and personal memories.

You'll be treated to the spoils of the ocean, a veritable must for the foodie in your life.

Combine the rich flavours of miso and the buttery texture of the Patagonian Toothfish and you have yourself an irresistible combination.

Each bite peels delicately from the fillet and melts in your mouth upon contact. A dish we will always recommend.
