Japanophiles rejoiced at the opening of Kumo Izakaya on Lygon Street's busy eating strip. Based on the idea that a restaurant is not just about food, izakaya dining places an emphasis on bonding and sharing an experience. With a range of small and large dishes, a night at Kumo Izakaya and Sake Bar is a personalised experience. There's also an extensive range of local and imported wine, beer, spirits, sakes and beers, which can be matched to your meal.
Welcome to Kumo Izakaya, Melbourne's foremost location for Japanese sake, food and culture. An eating place, a drinking place, a meeting place, Kumo is more than a restaurant and bar.
We serve "Izakaya" style Japanese food, it's closest comparison is Spanish tapas. Lots of smaller dishes to share, meaning you get to try many different tastes as oposed t locking yourself into the traditional western style dining of "entree, main and dessert".
At Kumo Izakaya, you will find a varied and extensive range of local and imported wine, spirits, sake, shochu, umeshu and beer. Our in-house wine and sake experts will be on hand to offer recommendations and information. Enjoy a range of small and gourmet izakaya-style platters between friends while opening up a bottle of wine or sake to match, or sip a house signature cocktail or fine Japanese whiskey at the bar.
