About Busshari Authentic Japanese Restaurant

Busshari delivers genuine Japanese dining to Potts Point with fresh sashimi, grated wasabi, and deliberate table pacing. Seasoned travelers often compare the rhythm to a classic ryokan stay. You pick your own sake cup from a ceramic tray before the food arrives—starting with spinach rolls dressed in house sesame and raw salmon belly, then easing into hot tobanyaki.

  • Fresh-Type Wasabi: Sashimi courses arrive paired with fresh-grated wasabi rather than reconstituted paste.
  • Custom Sake Cup Selection: Guests pick their preferred sake cup design directly from an eclectic tray for tasting flights.
  • Paced Course Flow: Meals follow traditional progression, moving from cold starters and raw cuts to hot dishes like tobanyaki.

The Busshari Experience

Why diners choose Busshari for authentic Japanese dining in Potts Point

  • Deliberately Paced Dish Progression

    Dishes are thoughtfully sequenced from cold, light appetizers to warm sizzling tobanyaki for an unhurried, flowing meal.

    They try to bring dishes out in a certain order eg cold / small plates first, culminating to the tobanyaki towards the end.

  • Transportive Kaiseki-Caliber Dining

    Seasoned travelers find the culinary execution and quality reminiscent of traditional ryokan kaiseki dining in Japan.

    We cannot believe this is in Australia and not Japan, highly highly recommended

  • Pristine Sashimi with Fresh Wasabi

    Sashimi is prepared with exceptional freshness and accompanied by genuine grated fresh wasabi rather than imitation paste.
