WELCOME TO MUSASHI IZAKAYA"Musashi" is located on 181 Russell st, Melbourne, VIC. IZAKAYA is a drinking establishment with foods and people drink and share foods. People often call IZAKAYA a Japanese tapas bar. Yes at IZAKAYA, drinking is a must and you find what to eat with drinks. We wanted to show people the joy of sharing and enjoying drinks with friends. So we named our restaurant IZAKAYA because we wanted to establish this IZAKAYA category aside from regular Japanese restaurants. So IZAKAYA iko! (“Let’s go to IZAKAYA!”)

We enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal at Temaki Sushi. The seasonal menu was exceptionally creative and fresh with the highlight being the temaki sushi course which offered an extraordinary range of flavors and experiences and which was also visually stunning and clearly created with great care and attention to detail. The service was also very friendly and attentive, with helpful explanations about the menu. The atmosphere is sophisticated, intimate, and elegant but also casual and lively. We also loved that all the food is served on beautiful locally made pottery. We would definitely recommend for your next special night!
