Tamura Sake Bar

Tamura Sake Bar sits on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved Japanese sake bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining a great range of sake and Japanese drinks with quality Japanese fare and a warm, intimate atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for something a little different.

The appeal is that combination of a brilliant sake offering, quality Japanese food and a relaxed, characterful setting in a prime Gertrude Street location, ideal for a sake tasting, a drink with friends, a date or a sociable night out. A dedicated sake bar with quality food and a genuine point of difference really stands out, and Tamura has clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 390 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The sake and drinks list, menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular, intimate bar gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — though for quality sake and Japanese food in a characterful setting, it's well worth seeking out Tamura in Fitzroy.
