About Tobikiri

Tobikiri serves a lavish, unhurried omakase alongside home-style Japanese izakaya plates in an intimate Neutral Bay living-room setting. Diners tuck in for the long haul over BYO wine, watching the solo chef shape nigiri across roughly thirty relentless courses. Seasoned shari shifts between soy-tinted and white depending on the fish, alongside rare treats like house-made sesame tofu, flame-charred ankimo, and sweet dashi poured over foie-gras-stuffed tomato.

  • Marathon omakase feast: Tasting menus span around thirty courses tailored right before your eyes until you are completely full.
  • BYO bottle friendly: Pairs casual, living-room warmth with BYO wine privileges for an easygoing izakaya meal.
  • Custom dual-shari craftsmanship: Nigiri features both white and soy-seasoned rice dialed in to complement distinct fish profiles.
