Bounty of the Sun
A cosy izakaya serving contemporary Japanese fare and cocktails.
Bounty of the Sun
Japanese$$
Bounty of the Sun chef Ryo Doyama moved from Japan straight from high school; he’s been in Melbourne for 25 years. This izakaya (a boisterous drinking place with snacks) is the first time he’s cooked Japanese food, but it’s imbued with influences from a career plating Mod Oz, Italian and cafe fare.
The space is cosy but includes a covered deck where you can pull up a bar stool for people watching across the Carlisle Street-adjacent precinct. Cocktails, beer and sake are the drivers: a shochu and vodka lemon sour laced with yuzu tea is just as easy to sip alongside fresh shiso and chive oil-dressed oysters served with a kabosu mignonette, or grilled butterfish marinated in saikyo miso.
