IORI

Kaiseki-style courses and sushi bar dining in the heart of Canberra

I Love Food Awards — State winner, Favourite Japanese Restaurant — 6 years running

One kitchen, two ways to eat it

IORI seats guests at a sushi bar, at tables, and in a private function room — the same kitchen running sushi-bar service and kaiseki-style degustation courses side by side, on East Row in the middle of Canberra City.

It's the kind of place that's been quietly winning "Favourite Japanese Restaurant" for six years running without needing to say so loudly.

Kaiseki style, minimum 2 — entrée, main course, rice & soup, dessert of the day.

Sushi bar, tables, or a room of your own

A weeknight plate at the sushi bar and a full kaiseki degustation for a celebration come out of the same kitchen, cooked with the same care either way.
