Charcoal kushiyaki, tableside sukiyaki and the day's freshest sashimi — an authentic little corner of Japan.
Now on Elizabeth Street in North Hobart, Three Japanese cooks the way an izakaya should — skewers over white charcoal, hot pots that simmer at the table, and the day's catch sliced clean and simple. Pour a Tasmanian wine or warm sake, settle in, and let the kitchen take it from there.
