Ippin Japanese Dining's Chef's Tasting Menu Launch Special

Overview

First announced in late 2022, Ippin Japanese Dining in West End's West Village finally opened its doors on Wednesday, April 12. It's Brisbane's new go-to for everything from sushi and sashimi through to wagyu and yuzu cocktails, and it's also the first Brisbane venture from Sydney restaurateur Kenny Lee (Kuon Omakase, Allta and Funda). And, it's perched up on the second floor of the precinct's Garden Pavilion, so it comes with leafy views.

Fancy trying it out — and eating your way through plenty of the menu — for $118? Meet the restaurant's chef's tasting menu launch special, which is running until Monday, April 17. It's serving up 11 dishes for that reasonable price, although that is just the starting point. You'll pay an extra $30 to add a wagyu strip loin, and various courses have matching wines available by the glass for an additional fee.

Still, opt for the standard package and you'll start with bluefin tuna paired with sea urchin and caviar, then move onto wagyu tartare and tempura Moreton Bay bugs, and also enjoy barramundi san choy bow, sushi and sashimi, and snow crab.

It all ends with roasted green tea warabi mochi over vanilla ice cream. And if you'd like cocktails or sake, that'll also cost you extra.
