Had a lovely after-work catch-up at Koromo by Jazushi. Really enjoyed the relaxed Japanese izakaya atmosphere and the live jazz music. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and it was such a nice place to unwind and chat with colleagues after work. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and a lovely spot for a casual dinner or drinks.

Very pleased to have tried Kokumai at Barangaroo. Both the sushi and the sashimi were excellent and equal to higher end kaiten sushi in Tokyo. The range of fish was a bit more limited than in Japan. The price was very reasonable given the quality. Kokumai is now our sushi place of choice.

The menu was excellent with the chefs showing premium technical skills whilst delivering beautifully presented and prepared dishes. We loved the inclusion of special, seasonal ingredients including marron from WA, oysters from Merimbula, Patagonian toothfish, caviar, truffles, tuna from Japan and much more. The setting was minimal but stylish with subtle and professional front of house service. The drinks menu was extensive with something for everyone and some special whiskeys, sake and wines on offer. A great experience highly recommended!
