Ichi Ni Izakaya

THE VERDICT

The Latest Scoop (February 2024): Ichi Ni Izakaya is now permanently closed.

Situated on the classic St Kilda Esplanade and overlooking Port Phillip Bay is Ichi Ni Izakaya, a casual yet lively Japanese dining space. Offering all the Japanese fare you would expect including tempura, gyoza, yakitori, sushi and sashimi as well as a range of sake, Japanese beers, fine wines and cocktails, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The plates are ideal for sharing and if you’re a seafood lover, you’re in luck because each and every dish is fresh, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious!

In the warmer months, Ichi Ni is the perfect place for a Sunday sesh on the patio—that is, if you can decide between the fairy floss and sour worm cocktails. If you don’t feel like braving the elements, opt for dinner and a culinary show by sitting at the open kitchen/sushi bar, where you can watch the chefs in action.

To make things even sweeter, Ichi Ni is now delivering all your favourite dishes as well as alcohol right to your front door! Click here to see what’s on offer.
