About Kojiro Japanese restaurant

Mosman’s strip along Military Road hides serious Japanese cooking that pairs spotless sushi with hot izakaya comfort. Diners return for the contrast—cool slices of kingfish sashimi in ponzu alongside pork ribs and gyoza brought out sizzling on a cast-iron plate. Midday crowds lean into the teishoku-style lunch tray piled with nigiri, tempura, and miso soup. It stays cozy and bustling at dinner, best enjoyed with a cold Suntory beer and a plate of spicy scallops.

  • Hot-Plate Gyoza: Pan-fried dumplings arrive steaming on a sizzling cast-iron platter rather than traditional ceramic dishware.
  • Teishoku Lunch Trays: Daytime sets balance pristine sashimi, nigiri, and hot tempura alongside miso soup and seasonal sides on a single tray.
  • Izakaya Signatures: Classic raw cuts share menu space with Japanese-seasoned pork ribs, wagyu pumpkin croquettes, and Brussels sprouts.

    Midday diners receive a comprehensive single-tray meal combining fresh sushi, sashimi, mixed tempura, salad, and miso soup.
