Japan in the midst of Melbourne CBD

I’m contemplating the thought… I’ll give it this time. Let’s say it takes a fair call to please me and certainly Hibachi sits to top the list. The last few weeks have been quite a dramatic experience in trying various Japanese joints, and I’ve always found the nook & the cranny that’s dropped the point. But this experience was different…

Kitchen and Dining

Situated in Melbourne’s most bustling King Street, this dinning setting has indeed the show, the style, and the taste… and seriously, they really seem to know to know the touch of presentation on the plate… hats off!

Small portions yet again for quite a dear price, may I say …but hey, I went in prepared. Nevertheless, the satisfaction existed on discovering true taste, well presented to suit the dinning palate.

Go for the try… you won’t regret it, and take good company like I did… it made the experience worthwhile.
