Yakikami: Luxe Japanese Barbecue in South Yarra
Grab a seat at the yakitori grill for perfectly charred chicken skewers, or slip into the private dining room for an omakase experience centred around premium Kobe beef. Itβs the latest venture from the team behind Wagyu Ya and Niku Ou.
Premium Kobe Beef Meets Charcoal Flame
In South Yarra, Yakikami brings a refined take on Japanese barbeque, courtesy of the team behind Wagyu Ya and Niku Ou. This luxurious restaurant is built around premium Kobe beef, cooked over blazing charcoal josper grills for an intense, smoky finish. Dedicated yakitori tables turn the spotlight on juicy skewers made from Sommerlad chicken out of Adelaide. And donβt miss the comforting nine-hour chicken-bone ramen β rich in flavour yet surprisingly light.
An Elevated Omakase Experience
For something more extravagant, book the omakase in the intimate private dining room. Curated by head chef Hirokazu Sasaki, the 15-course experience may feature A5 Wagyu tartare topped with smoked black caviar, and a variety of Kobe beef cuts, paired with micro-brewed Japanese sake.
Design That Sets the Mood
The mood changes depending on where you sit: perch at the sleek bar for a front-row view of the grill, slide into a semi-private booth for more intimacy, or soak up the drama of the gold and marbleβclad interior that sets the tone for a truly elevated dining experience.
