The menu boasts new, captivating plates that are sure to leave a lasting impression, including truffle-infused lobster, grilled over Japanese charcoal and Queensland Yellowfin Tuna, served with a sweet aioli twist. Whilst a comprehensive collection of Japanese sakes and whiskies, Japanese tap and bottled beers, shochu cocktails and a sophisticated selection of wine, champagne and non-alcoholic options provided.
Leading international designers, Hassell, have curated a modern, Japanese restaurant interior, enveloped with scrolls and timber screens in a lush setting that is true to the relaxed nature of the Brisbane lifestyle.
Catering up to 160 guests with a sushi bar and custom-designed circular Private Dining Room, great precision and creativity has ensured the space provides guests with an unparalleled dining experience.

The result is a garden of delights that evokes traditional Japanese detailing in a contemporary Brisbane setting,” said Hassell’s Principal Interior Designer Carolyn Solley.
