Premium dining is not just for the inner city, and this is proven by the former Nobu and Saké chefs in the kitchen at Katóri in Box Hill. The Japanese yakiniku restaurant combines traditional methods, seasonal Australian ingredients and the creativity and skill of the chefs to sophisticated success.

High quality wagyu beef, seafood from local fishmongers, and seasonal veggies are cooked on a charcoal barbecue grill — in the kitchen or by you at your own personal grill, built into the tables — and served alongside a selection of signature dishes, sushi, sashimi and salads.

Desserts are creative and delicate, fusing Eastern and Western flavours, to be enjoyed with cocktails championing Japanese whisky, as well as wine, sake and tea. The dining room itself is dark, luxurious and welcoming, a pretty great example of casual fine dining.
