Elevate your dining experience at charcoal Japanese restaurant, Soka on Ocean Street in Maroochydore. Wind down in style from an eclectic selection of Japanese wine, beer and sake in an ambient, modernist aesthetic with gentle classical and jazz music pervading the venue; be transported to the streets of Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo as enticing aromas waft in the air to tickle senses and enchant palates. Dive right in with tuna tataki, yuzu coconut and a nori crisp, or devour grilled skewers such as scallop, miso garlic butter, salt and chives; followed by hacho miso-glazed lamb spare ribs, wombok and mint. Perhaps char-grilled fish hits the mark, served with negi, yuzu kosho, Okinawan sweet potatoes and pickled mushrooms, finishing sweetly with matcha tiramisu and caramelised white chocolate.
