Tanuki’s Treating Us To Tuna Belly, Truffle, Caviar And A Martini For Just $40

Sydney, we hope you’re hungry, because beloved modern Japanese restaurant Tanuki has cooked up a next-level snack-and-sip situation for just $40. 

While saving is officially in, that doesn’t mean enjoying the dining delights has to be out. With many of us keeping a closer eye on our spending, an excellent meal out doesn't have to be completely off the cards. 

That’s why we’ve joined forces with ING to serve up something special across 12 standout restaurants across Australia. Launching with a fresh set of dishes each month, these bite-sized baller moments are all about premium snacks, iconic bar orders and little tastes of luxury without the eye-watering price tag.

Entering the hearts of Sydneysiders this month is Tanuki, where $40 gets you a Chu Toro Gunkan Nigiri wrapped with daikon, topped with buttery tuna belly and finished with winter truffle and caviar. Decadent, delicious and surprisingly affordable.

Wash down your nigiri with a Sakura Martini made with Sakura Mancino Vermouth, Tanqueray, Lillet Blanc and Junmai Daiginjo.

Yep, it’s a snack-and-sip combo that feels ultra luxe, but it comes in at just $40. Because yes, while many of us are thinking about saving, that doesn't always mean fancy meals have to drop off from the schedule entirely.
