The Warabi Omakase Dining Experience
A contemporary Japanese dining experience, Warabi emphasises fresh ingredients and masterful techniques, alongside elevated beverage pairings in an omakase setting.
The multi-course menu changes seasonally, using only the highest quality ingredients. Our head chef will guide through a casual yet refined dining experience, channeling 'kappo' which directly translates to ‘cut and cook' and celebrates the chefs' craftsmanship and precise preparation techniques.
SUMMER MENU
This season at Warabi, summer arrives in full colour. Drawing on his memories of summers in Kyoto spent river fishing, sitting beneath green canopies, and watching the charcoal smoke drifting over water, Chef Hajime channels the energy of midsummer into two new omakase journeys.
Both menus celebrate seasonal Australian and Japanese ingredients, treated with precision to create a rich union of flavours. Our team will guide you through each course for a generous, and distinctly Warabi omakase experience.
