Brisbane sushi purists head straight for an unassuming Barrett Street doorway. Behind it sits an eight-seat counter dedicated to unhurried kappo dining. Chef Fumiki Hayashi works through roughly eighteen seasonal courses with steady precision—no blowtorches, no shaved truffle gimmicks, just knife technique honed over decades in Kyoto. Diners talk about feeling halfway to Japan as courses shift from four-day miso-marinated toothfish to nigiri pressed right at the wood. Rare Senkin sake pours accompany ceramics brought over from Japan.
- Intimate Eight-Seat Counter: Chef Fumiki Hayashi prepares an eighteen-course seasonal menu directly in front of just eight diners at the counter.
- Uncompromising Tradition: A steadfast focus on Kyoto and Edomae techniques that skips fusion shortcuts and social-media theatrics.
- Curated Sake Cellar: Special-order bottles and rare allocations paired with cultural storytelling from the chef.

Kyoto Kaiseki & Edomae Precision
Chef Fumiki draws on decades of training to unite traditional Kyoto Kaiseki techniques with Tokyo Edomae sushi, deliberately avoiding modern fusion gimmicks in favor of pure seasonal discipline.
What makes this experience unique is how he uses his knowledge of Kaiseki from Kyoto (my favourite) and Edomae Sushi from Tokyo creating a rare and really special experience.
