This sushi bar/supermarket is the mysterious Japanese food repository you never knew you needed. If you're looking to make something yourself, the shelves are your friend. Find anything from koroke to katsu, gyoza to green tea Kit Kats, and a mammoth amount of bottled sauces and everything you need to make ramen. Oh, and sake and shochu. Over at the sushi counter, a range of 89 options will be available. There are more traditional varieties like your sashimi and nigiri platters, and then more unique creations like the salmon aioli with squid and egg salad.

Th packs include a maki mix of hoso maki, cucumber shake, ebi, tekka and avocado while the deka maki packs include a California vegetarian option with avocado, takuan, kanpya, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, mayonnaise and seaweed salad.

From the a la carte menu try the stunning inari DX prawn with white salad or the lightly seared mackerel. The platers are large and designed to be shared with the sixty piece hoso maki platter the perfect option for a group booking. 

From the pantry enjoy hard to find treats such as yuzu jam, buckwheat soba noodles, Japanese craft gin and handcrafted chilli oil.
