Kosaten Japanese Restaurant

Best Known For

Tempura soft-shell crab, served on bamboo leaf, with curry mayo.

Set in the trendy Salamanca Market precinct in the heart of Hobart, lies Kosaten Japanese restaurant. Styled with an eclectic mix of artwork set against an industrial fit-out, overhead pendent lighting, moody deep tones and intimate booth seating, combine to create an ideal space where meals can be shared. Kosaten tempts diners with dishes bursting in colour and refined skill such as Wagyu tataki, lightly seared, asparagus sauce and slivered almonds; while seafood lovers may be enticed by mixed sashimi – thinly sliced fresh kingfish, salmon and tuna – or an aburi salmon, lobster, avocado and cucumber roll. Those with heartier appetites opt for Japanese fried chicken, crispy rice cracker and chilli mayo to send the taste buds into overdrive, or slow-cooked pork belly, mustard and spinach.
