Wharf Teppanyaki – King Street Wharf, Sydney.
Located in the former private dining room of Kobe Jones King Street Wharf, Wharf Teppanyaki is in the group of restaurants that includes the long-standing Rocks Teppanyaki bringing the teppanyaki experience closer to the city. I rarely buy group deals, but this one stood out in particular because I had been craving teppanyaki and garlic fried rice at the time.
It’s pretty empty when we arrive with only 4 other diners are in the room, but within an hour the restaurant is packed with corporate groups and other diners who have bought the group deal.
Kanawa Floating Oyster Boat – Hiroshima, Japan.
‘I’m on a boat!’ I exclaim to my travelling partner’s embarrassment and to bewildered kimono-clad waitresses in our tatami matted room which is empty of patrons except for just us two. We’d just spent the morning in reverent contemplation at the Peace Memorial Park, just a few minutes away from Hiroshima’s most famous restaurant of 140 years specialises in oysters.
