Sitting pretty on St Kilda's lively Esplanade, Ichi Ni Izakaya marches to the beat of its own drum. Part Japanese restaurant, part takeaway sushi and sashimi spot, and part sake and tapas bar, this is a true Japanese "izakaya", or tavern. Groups can tuck into the tapas menu for a sharing frenzy, with light bites like prawns in Japanese mustard mayonnaise, gyozas, and grilled kingfish. For something more substantial, diners can watch in awe as the chefs in the open kitchen cook up sizzling authentic yakitori-style meats, such as wagyu beef and eel. It's easy to cool down afterwards with the wide range of Japanese wines and beers to devour while letting the bay views and breezes seep in.

Chef: Yasu Fukuhara
