Mietta's Review
A wonderous blending of Fitzroy and Japan. The waiters with their tatoos and dreadlocks look as if they're working to support their Brunswick St coffee habit. The food mixes traditional with rather adventurous Aussie inpired dishes. There is a mixture of seating from tatami mats to cane armchairs. Good place for a sake or two.
