Mietta's Review
A modest, inexpensive, good quality Japanese restaurant tucked away in one of the quieter stretches of Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick, which is frequented by a good many not undiscerning members of Melbourne's Japanese community. And you know, it's been there for years! Several tables of suited sake-drinking Japanese businessmen will attest to the quality of the sashimi but there are less -familiar noodle dishes worth trying. Lots of pale pine tables and plenty of bamboo leave you in no doubt where you are eating and in true Tokyo style you can sit around the sushi bar on awfully high stools and, if multi-lingual, chat to the fella with the big knife on the other side. But don't distract him too much, he's usually hard at work.
