RNIS was invited to try this place so did not have to pay.
Shinwa Izakaya is a new Japanese pub in Brunswick near RMIT City campus. It is a small place that replaced Iku and the owner said that he wants to have another bigger store in Thomastown which can seat up to 250.
The owner, Jack Lo is Australian but a couple of the chefs used to work for Nobu and other fine dining places. So you can expect high quality food such as sushi and sashimi and their speciality of yakitori. Many of the dishes are vegetarian and vegan to cater for all the vegans in the area. Everything is moderately priced to cater for the student clientele.
The owner knows his clientele well. They also support the local community and projects like the International Couch. Very soon they will have gift vouchers.
First up was complimentary edaname and green tea. This was a nice touch as many Japanese places expect you to pay. Then it was homemade miso soup.
After that it was their speciality 63C egg salad and lovely acidic dressings which were citrusy.
Next up Kingfish caparchio which was fresh and executed well.
Then the yakko tofu which was also executed well and the ginger was grated. Something that you don't see in Japanese places
Then it was their egg roll which is another one of their speciality.
Next up was the grilled fish yakitori, cooked to perfection.
Last was the sushi which was also executed well. By then I was too full
Many thanks to Jack for the invite and do check this place out yourself as many others did
