About Kisuke 㐂介

Tucked down a Potts Point laneway, this six-seat counter trades flashy luxury gimmicks for traditional Japanese omakase precision. Run solely by a husband-and-wife duo, dinners feel unpretentious and direct. Chef Morita prepares each course right before you—slicing day-fresh cuttlefish, timing aged mackerel to its peak, and building seasonal hassun plates with rich monkfish liver. Regulars point to the lime-topped teapot broth and sea urchin nigiri as proof that purist technique beats gold leaf every time.

  • Intimate Six-Seat Counter: A husband-and-wife duo hosts just six diners per sitting across an intimate counter.
  • Purist Traditional Technique: Chef Morita balances day-fresh catches with carefully aged fish, eschewing superfluous truffle and caviar.
  • Seasonal Progression: Seasonal menus spotlight delicacies like monkfish liver, sea urchin nigiri, and teapot broth with lime.

  • Purist Seasonality and Aging

    Courses highlight seasonal ingredients served strictly at their prime, pairing freshly sliced and carefully aged fish without distracting luxury garnishes.

    If a fish was at its peak fresh, it was fresh. If a fish was at its peak with some aging, it was aged.

  • Meticulously Paced Progression

    Every course is served in an intentional sequence with calibrated timing, providing satisfying portions that leave diners comfortably fulfilled rather than rushed.

    The courses were well-curated, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and perfect pacing.

  • Micro-Community Connection

    The micro-counter configuration makes it natural to talk with the chef, his wife, and fellow diners, transforming dinner into an interactive, shared gathering.

    intimate setting of six diners (we were in a group of four) which made it easy for us to have conversations with the chef and the group of two dining in our session.

  • Convivial Counter Dialogue

    Sharing the compact dining room across only six seats fosters an open, friendly atmosphere where hosts and guests easily exchange stories and culinary insights.

    I had a great chat with the chef, his lovely wife, and some of the other diners, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

    the highlight for me was the seared eel, I never knew eel can be made to taste so good.
