OCHA

OCHA began its journey in a small butcher's shop in Kew, where Yasu and Michelle envisioned introducing Melbourne to authentic Japanese cuisine without compromising traditional techniques, quality, or freshness. For 30 years, we have remained committed to crafting exceptional Japanese dishes using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Our restaurant maintains a modest ambiance, allowing our food and dedicated team to take center stage. Every dish reflects our passion for preserving Japanese culinary heritage while embracing modern Australian produce. We prioritize meticulous preparation, from grilling Hokkaido scallops to perfecting house-made miso and tempura. Our menu features diverse offerings, including sushi, sashimi, tempura, and set meals, catering to both traditionalists and adventurous diners.

We accommodate dietary preferences with gluten-free and vegetarian options clearly marked across our menu. With decades of experience, we ensure every guest experiences the artistry and warmth of Japanese hospitality. Our team, trained in classical techniques, takes pride in delivering personalized service that complements our cuisine. Whether through our lunch teishoku sets or premium omakase experiences, we strive to create memorable dining moments. We invite you to join the OCHA family and discover why we remain a beloved destination for Japanese cuisine in Melbourne.
