Description
Kentaro grew a devoted local base as a pop-up at Operator San before settling into a permanent, discreet home at Shop 6, 242 Exhibition Street, in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Head chef Ken Kee, whose background spans kitchens in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan as well as local institutions Shoya and Shiranui, puts premium seafood, top-grade Japanese beef and seasonal local produce front and centre across a $220 or $270 omakase menu. Dinner opens with produce-driven appetisers such as hollowed persimmon filled with goma-ae, before moving through sashimi, a grilled course and nigiri, with dishes toeing the line between delicate and decadent, including fatty otoro, scallop stuffed with foie gras and a chawanmushi topped with uni and gold flakes. A sharp selection of wine and sake supports the food, with guests welcome to bring their own bottle provided another is purchased from the venue.
