Sydney’s highly anticipated new fine dining Japanese restaurant, Oborozuki, will open next week with a special ‘one-week-only’ pop-up dining event hosted by world-famous sushi master, Takayoshi Watanabe.

Taking place 2-8 November, the week-long launch event will feature just 17 sittings with each sitting limited to just 10 guests.

Following the one-off event, the restaurant and bar will officially launch its kaiseki and teppanyaki menus from Friday, 11 November.

Located within Sydney Harbour ‘Opera Residences’ with direct access off Macquarie Street and Circular Quay, Oborozuki offers a traditional yet elevated Japanese dining experience within a contemporary and elegant setting.

The restaurant and Oborozuki Bar sit side-by-side over two glass-encased levels, offering diners immersive bar and dining experiences alongside sweeping views of Circular Quay and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Seating up to 50 guests, the bar features a range of sommelier selected premium and boutique wines; signature cocktails showcasing Japanese spirits; and an extensive Sake and Japanese Whisky selection and rare Japanese spirits. It also includes a private bar for up to ten people.

Boasting the largest kaiseki dining room in Australia, Oborozuki seats 120 with a private kaiseki dining room available for up to 10 people. There are also three private teppanyaki rooms, with two seating up to six guests and one for up to 10 guests.

The unique culinary concepts of kaiseki and teppanyaki are rooted in the traditions of Japanese haute cuisine.

Considered one of the world’s finest Japanese culinary experiences, kaiseki is presented as an upscale multi-course menu consisting of a sequence of cold to hot (light to heavier) dishes. Presented by Oborozuki’s head chef Kei Takamatsu, each dish is prepared simply to emphasise the natural beauty and flavour of premium quality seasonal Australian ingredients.

Meanwhile, the restaurant’s teppanyaki experience offers an immersive and engaging 10-course dining experience led by head chef Feliz Zhang’s talented teppanyaki chefs.
