In an unassuming corner in suburban Ashgrove, Osaka Japanese Dining Bar serves up traditional Japanese flavours including gyoza, edamame and sashimi. Offering dishes that can be eaten solo or shared amongst family and friends, try the takoyaki – a ball shaped dumpling made of batter and octopus sprinkled with bonito flakes. The red lacquer bento box contains a generous serving of individual portions of tasty bites, including gyoza, sushi, sashimi and tempura with a choice of salmon, chicken or beef. Pots of Japanese tea are served in quaint Japanese-style teapots with complimentary refills.
