My Ichi-ban Japanese Restaurant (for now)

I don’t know why I ever stopped writing my blog, as I get so excited when I experience anything in Perth that reminds me of Japan. I just wish when I was living in Japan that I also recorded all the amazing things I saw, bought, did and ate. Oh well, perhaps I will reminisce another time.

But talking about amazing things, take Aisuru Sushi - the Japanese restaurant on the corner of William Street and James Street in Northbridge. I first got taken there for my birthday and it was amazing. I finally returned a few weeks ago, and nothing disappointed me.

Here’s what makes it special:

·      You can sit on the street and enjoy your meal, whilst enjoying Perth weather (or just judging those who walk past).

·      It’s BYO. Yes, that’s correct. Bring a nice bottle of rose (or two) and take your time eating.

·      Vegan friendly. I am not vegan and either is my boyfriend, but with him being a vegetarian, it’s nice that he has a good selection to choose from. Which unfortunately in Japanese culture, is not always the case.

Best of all, the food is amazing. The sushi is fresh, innovative and delicious. I love ordering a bowl of hot miso, edamame and corn tempura (this is heaven in your mouth).

Go inside for lunch and watch them make it fresh in front of you or BYO and sit on the streets of Perth at night. Either way, you’ll have a great meal.

Fun fact: "Aisuru" means Love in Japanese (told to me by a Japanese friend who walked pasted the restaurant whilst on holiday). 

Aisuru Sushi don't have an official website but you can like them on facebook or read about them on Urbanspoon.
