Saké Restaurant & Bar

Once in a while my friends and I love to try out new fine dining restaurants. Since we are all still poor uni students, it’s usually on special occasions. The first time we went to Saké was for my birthday a couple of years ago and wow, what an experience that was! The food, the drinks, the ambience, the service, everything was fantastic! And every time I go, I look forward to coming back again.

Saké Restaurant & Bar is a contemporary Japanese restaurant created by the sushi master Shaun Presland, located at the historic Argyle Precinct at The Rocks, and it is truly one the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I can go on and on about how great it is, but I’m sure what your dying to see is the pictures, so enough of me rambling.

I love absolutely every dish there but here are some of the best of the best:

Tonkatsu cups- pieces of panko-fried pork belly & spring-onion bites, served in lettuce cups with mustard miso and Japanese barbecue sauce.

 Popcorn shrimp- bite-sized prawn tempura pieces tossed with creamy spicy sauce.

 Kingfish Double Crunch- kingfish, jalapeno mayo, coriander, cucumber, tempura crunch finished with sweet soy and spicy masago.

 S Expresss- scallops, spicy mayo, cucumber, seared salmon, witlof and sweet sauce.

 Kingfish Jalapeno- Hiramasa kingfish, yuzu soy, thin jalapeno slices & coriander.

 Sashimi tacos- tuna and salmon sashimi filled baby tacos with chilled tomato salsa matched with Kozaemon Junmai ‘sake shots’.

The cocktails and sake here are one of a kind and you must try some of them!

And of course, the best way to finish a meal:

Hope you try it out!
