Sake Jr Launches New Neil Perry-Designed Menu
Cheaper than most Neil Perry lunches.
Want to pick up a casual Neil Perry lunch without forking out an Eleven Bridge restaurant bill? Australia's renowned restaurateur, chef, TV presenter and all-round multitasker has just launched his own menu for Japanese-inspired eatery Saké Jr.
Perry is working his magic across Saké Jr's Sydney and Melbourne venues, bringing his passion for sustainably sourced, fresh, local produce to each of his carefully curated dishes. "As with all our endeavours, we are community and sustainability minded," he says. "Our ethos is simple: source responsibly, act respectfully, cook beautifully, live well."
New lunchtime items include on-trend poke bowls and grab and go protein salads, with various meat, seafood or vegetarian staples featuring accompaniments like pickled bamboo, edamame and soy and mirin dressing. You can mix and match, so the endless options are bound to revolutionise your once-boring lunch hour.
Come 4pm, Jr by Night kicks into gear at Sydney's Grosvenor Place and Bourke Street in Melbourne. Perry will be offering up creative takes on Tokyo street food favourites, like Japanese fried chicken (JFC) with the choice of chilli oil, gochujang or sesame yuzu sauce. Alternatively, build your own ramen bowl or bao bun and wash it all down with a house-brewed iced tea or a cheeky glass or two of saké. Whatever your selection, you can expect each mouthful to reflect Perry's meticulous attention to detail.
Find Sake Jr at Grosvenor Place, 255 George Street and inside Westfield Pitt Street in Sydney, and at 555 Bourke Street and St Collins Lane in Melbourne.
