Japanese Food Near Me
The World Loves Melbourne is a big fan of the signature black cod miso, cod that has been prepared for days, marinated, and glazed with miso. The wagyu rib eye with red pepper miso, ponzuy and anticucho sauces, also packed a punch and was happily shared. Gaijin Japanese Fusion is a popular affordable Japanese restaurant in South Yarra that is full of soul and character and impresses with its playful top notch cuisine. The famous New England Lobster Roll could not be denied so we ordered several of these.
The fold metaphor provides a useful lens through which to demonstrate that the providers’ practices are structured within the frame of the domestic dominant market, as well as informing it. Although it is added to the local café culture, MARU does not seem to be completely added up to it; but rather, it functions as an exotic site, producing effects that are both ‘fashionable’ and ‘different’. It is notable, however, that their exoticising of the japanese restaurant space is not the same as a self-Orientalising process, which is intended to reverse self-other positions or insist other’s uniqueness. Instead, MARU refers to the self that has already taken the influence of the ‘West’ other, thereby suggesting shifts in perspectives and the production of subjectivity. At Kobe Jones, we adhere to a set of regulations in the selection and grading of all ingredients, including seafood, meat, grains and vegetables.
Alongside a vibe as busy as the Tokyo streetscape mural running along one wall, highlights from the menu, which primarily jumps between Japan and Korea, come from the hibachi grill. Cuttlefish and wagyu skewers come in sets of two, and there's even a whole spatchcock basted in a sticky-sweet bulgogi glaze. Modern dining's catchphrase "designed to share" really does apply here. Interactive dishes like the hulking, crisp pork hock ssam, served with ssamjang, pancakes, ginger, cucumber, and kimchi facilitate fun at the table and guest interaction.
The assortment of imported sake, beer, and Japanese whisky make this a regular stop for locals even if they’re arriving with full stomachs. Even if you don’t want that beautifully marinated octopus served straight from the grill, it’s worth parking up here for a drink or two to soak in a social scene that has now become inseparable for the idea of late nights in Melbourne CBD. Embracing Melbourne's laneway culture, Shonan Kamakura on Katherine Place is the place to savour the true flavours of Japanese cuisine. A casual atmosphere and modern dining space, complete with co... Feast on the best flame-grilled pork belly and bulgogi with friends and family this festive season.
And with multiple awards including a Chef’s Hat in 2007, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2019, it’s not hard to see why. As teleporting straight to Tokyo is still a long way off, visiting Kenzan is the next best option. Suzuran has undoubtedly the most extensive range of Japanese food products available in Victoria! Whether it be for everyday cooking, a quick snack, or for a special occasion, you can be sure to find it at Suzuran!
Minamishimais about sushi fine dining, with a set menu to show you what the chef can do... Supernormal is about Andrew McConnells favourite dishes from trips to Asia, notably Shanghai and Hong Kong. The menu is set up well for groups - just share dishes from small to large offerings and you can cover a lot of ground. The Tuna, ponzu & tagarashi above was a killer start with clean fresh flavours. Tetsujin, the Emporium sushi train, is a great place where you can try popular sushi and other hot dishes.
Raw fish aside, sushi trains are an entertaining way to dine, and the casual nature of the experience always makes for a family-friendly meal.

With locations peppered throughout Melbourne, there's sure to be one close by. From sushi boxes to maki rolls, nigiri and inari, this sushi joint offers all of the kids' (and your!) favourites.
Again the Gaijin spicy mayo is unique and brings a wonderful spicy dimension. Served with wasabi and ginger on the side, I loaded up on spice and heat and loved the experience. Gaijin impresses with the Big Bang dish, surprising due to the level of fusion, featuring crab stick enoki mushroom and cream cheese rolled in salmon slice then baked with spiced mayo.

In 2018, this Euro-Japanese fine diner moved from its home in Daylesford to Carlton. The dishes here, delivered thoughtfully across several multi-course options, are a compelling argument for fusion done the right way.

Located on Toorak Road in South Yarra, Yakikami is also an opulent escape for flame-grilled Nomad chicken Yakitori and top-shelf sake. The 70-seat diner is spread out across 350sqm of sleek marble flooring and features a dedicated Yakitori bar with charcoal Josper grills that churn out skewers of chicken, seafood and vegetables. The café owner, who is also an architect originally from Tokyo, transformed a warehouse into the café/shop space that caters to the local residents and workers who are dominantly Anglo-European Australian. This refurbished warehouse located in a backstreet operates two parts as one, folding whiteness into Japaneseness. Different styles of furniture – new, old, wooden, metal and plastic tables and chairs – were sourced from a combination of second hand stores and a contact in Denmark, crossing over between different time-space boundaries.
