Sadly, a trip to Japan isn't on the cards for Brisbanites at present. So to help smooth over that news, Friday's is transforming into a cherry blossom-filled, Tokyo-themed garden from Monday, November 2. Its courtyard will feature not just pastel blooms, but also lanterns, too, and you'll be able to eat and drink like you've just spent ten hours on a plane flying north.

Every Wednesday from November 4–February 24, you'll also be able to feast your way through an endless stack of karaage chicken. Available from 5pm each week, the special will set you back $30 — and then your tastebuds can enjoy oh-so-many pieces of fried poultry, plus Japanese slaw and kewpie mayo.

Spend an extra $25, and you can wash down your bottomless dinner with unlimited wine and tap beer as well.

And yes, it's the kind of occasion you'll want to gather your pals for — but, in advice applicable to every event and eatery these days, just don't forget to book in advance.
