Yakinau Izakaya Japanese Restaurant

Yakinau Izakaya is set to become Melbourne’s number-one spot for Japanese BBQ, tucked away on the corner of Queen and A’Beckett Street.

The owner's background in wagyu sourcing has heavily informed the menu, with all cuts being supplied by Blackmore Wagyu Beef, a producer known for its exceptional marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Top-tier cuts, including M9 Wagyu, are prepared with expert techniques to highlight their rich flavour and unmatched texture.

With an equally impressive drinks program, the cocktail list is diverse and lively. Designed to be tactile and fun and epitomised in Yakinau’s signature drink, the Sake Bomb. Guests can also explore a small but mighty selection of premium small-producer sakes and imported beers.
