Izakaya Sakura

Izakaya Sakura is THE place for good authentic Japanese food in Perth.. It's located on the fringe of the popular eating street in Northbridge, far enough from noisy pubs..

I been there many times but this is the first time I brought a camera with me..

They have regular menu and special menu which they update regularly... The food here is light and depends a lot on the natural flavour of the ingredient.. No heavy seasoning or sauce..

This restaurant also serves entrees which are not available from the menu.. They bring it to your table for you to choose..

Herring roe with bonito was unique simply because you don't usually find this kind of Japanese food in Perth..

Salmon belly was fresh.. Still prefer tuna belly though.. For some reason, it's hard to find tuna belly in Perth..

Grilled salmon.. The miso was not overpowering and enhanced the natural flavour of the salmon.

Potato croquette complemented with a dipping sauce..

Grilled mackerel was pretty standard..

Tuna tataki not bad also..

Apple pie with icecream.. The icecream tasted bit like white chocolate icecream..

Green tea icecream was nice..Would be better if they add red bean to it.. It would be heavenly..

There are plenty of Japanese restaurants in Perth but most of them are just disappointing and offer substandard fake Japanese food.. I have to say Izakaya Sakura is among the top restaurants that offers authentic Japanese restaurant in Perth..
