Gift card Kumo Izakaya AU

Welcome to Kumo Izakaya! Whilst the heart of our cuisine is contemporary Japanese we take inspiration from Asian street food in general. Our menu reflects a range of influences from countries such as South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Vietnam. To accompany your food we offer wine, Japanese and craft beer and a great sake selection. Our menu is mainly comprised of smaller dishes and we encourage you to order a selection of many tastes! An izakaya is not just a restaurant or bar: an izakaya is a place where eating and drinking take equal parts. But it is more than this: it’s a meeting place, somewhere to bond and forget the worries of the day. Izakayas started as eating places, where people would go after work to have a couple of drinks and stay for an hour or 10. In Japan, izakayas are known for their ‘homeliness’ – everyone knows your name and you are welcome whether you are alone or with friends. Izakayas have a great range of small and large dishes ordered as-you-like-it as the night unfolds. You don’t have to choose between sashimi, deep fried, meat, vegetarian or other copious choices of food with beer, sake or other drinks – just have a bit of everything and share. Izakayas are the perfect blend of bar and food. Kumo Izakaya is located at 152 Lygon Street. Brunswick East, VIC 3057
