Izakaya Gaku

Izakaya Gaku, nestled in Five Dock, offers an authentic Japanese dining experience reminiscent of traditional izakayas. The intimate space features tatami-style seating, creating a cozy atmosphere. Specializing in kamameshi, a comforting rice dish cooked in an iron pot, they use Nagano koshihikari rice simmered with soy and mirin broth, topped with choices like chicken, salmon, lobster tail, oysters imported from Japan, or Australian Wagyu beef. Additional offerings include Gaku ramen, available exclusively at lunch in Darlinghurst, and hotpot ramen. The drinks menu boasts a selection of yuzu sake and house-made umeshu.
