Sushi Takezo

Japanese$$

Matsu’s former home has been taken over by Takeshi Murakami, who ran the Japanese kitchen at Langham Melbourne for over a decade. He’s expanded the space to six seats (from four) and serves omakase sushi menus, using seasonal fish from trusted suppliers, matched with sake and French wine.

Murakami is doing everything from shopping to washing up in an effort to keep prices down. He’s confident his $185 menu is of similar standard to far more expensive sushi counters around town. It’s one of Melbourne’s hottest tickets.
