About the restaurant
It's perfect for
fans of unexpected elegance in Fitzroy’s laneway scene.
You need to try
dishes blending Japanese tradition and Aussie flair, like scampi tartare or char siu.
Look out for
the heritage building, graffiti wall, and lantern-lit, izakaya-style buzz.
Kushiro brings a sleek and modern take on Japanese dining to Brisbane’s inner north. Known for its artfully plated sashimi, delicately rolled sushi, and premium yakitori, the restaurant combines minimalist aesthetics with warm hospitality. Signature dishes include wagyu tataki, kingfish carpaccio, and melt-in-your-mouth salmon nigiri, best enjoyed alongside sake flights or crafted Japanese-inspired cocktails. The interiors balance wood, stone, and soft lighting, creating a calming environment suited to both intimate dinners and stylish group outings. With a focus on fresh produce and authentic technique, Kushiro delivers a refined Japanese dining experience with Brisbane energy.
