Temaki Sushi – Intimate Japanese Dining in Melbourne CBD
Temaki Sushi offers a unique and intimate dining experience in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Tucked away on Little Collins Street, this boutique Japanese restaurant seats just ten guests, creating an exclusive atmosphere where every detail feels personal.
The name “Temaki” means “hand-rolled,” and that’s exactly the focus here. Diners are invited to craft their own hand rolls from beautifully presented platters of seasonal ingredients. Fresh seafood, premium cuts of meat, and organic vegetables – many sourced from the restaurant’s own farm in Sassafras – come together to create a truly interactive dining journey.
Led by Head Chef Hiroshi San, the seasonal multi-course menu is carefully curated. Each experience begins with a welcome sake and a series of delicate small plates, followed by the signature temaki course where guests build their own sushi rolls. To finish, somen noodles and a traditional dessert, such as hojicha pudding with mochi and red bean, round out the evening.
The drinks list features sake, wine, and beer imported directly from boutique Japanese producers, enhancing the authentic experience. Meals are served on handmade ceramic tableware crafted in Temaki Sushi’s own pottery studio, adding a unique artisanal touch.
With dinner service running Thursday to Saturday evenings, reservations are essential for this sought-after dining destination. Temaki Sushi is an ideal choice for those seeking a refined yet playful Japanese dining experience in Melbourne.
