A standout example of Sydney’s Japanese-Australian dining style, blending izakaya traditions with local produce and precision. The menu is built for sharing, with clean, bright flavors and a polished but lively atmosphere. It’s a cornerstone of the Potts Point dining scene.
Why It Belongs on the List
A Potts Point izakaya-inspired restaurant that represents the hybrid Japanese-Australian cuisine that Sydney has made its own — yakitori alongside excellent sashimi, edamame with yuzu salt, and a sake and Japanese whisky program. One of the city's most booked mid-range restaurants. The Potts Point neighborhood is worth exploring for its own café and restaurant scene; Cho Cho San is the anchor.
