Kumo Izakaya

Offering an ideal respite from the worries of the world, Kumo Izakaya on Lygon Street in East Brunswick features an eclectic Japanese style and a creative menu. Seamlessly blending the industrial and Art Deco influences of the former bank building, this sleek izakaya and sake den has striking artwork on feature walls and a moody vibe for that romantic dinner with your special someone. The Japanese equivalent of Spanish tapas, izakaya presents a range of grilled, steamed, vegetarian or rice dishes; alongside platters of sushi, sashimi and desserts. Delve into starters like freshly shucked Bruny Island oysters, or salmon carpaccio and yuzu ponzu; before grilled Patagonian toothfish, chimichurri sauce, herbed potato salad and mixed vegetable tempura. Finish with miso salted caramel ice cream. Kumo offers a mix of seating options including a tatami room, dining bar, shared tables, booths plus an outdoor courtyard.
