Contemporary Japanese dining with a Modern Australian influence brings Beaumaris foodies through the doors of Ken Japanese Restaurant on East Concourse. This stylish Melbourne venue is all sleek lines with a minimalistic vibe of blond wood, black table settings and slate grey walls, while pendent globes cast a soft glow ideal for romantic evening dining. Meaning ‘respect’ in Japanese, Ken’s menu treats food with respect from beginning to end; think starters like Wagyu tataki, shiso vinaigrette, ponzu jelly, leek and cucumber, or housemade pork gyoza, shredded cabbage, kimchi mayo and spring onion. Choose from sashimi and sushi options like a soft shell tempura crab roll; before delving into mains of braised pork belly, pan-seared Hokkaido scallops, pickled vegetables and black vinegar.
